Running multiple services safely on a single FreeBSD system? That’s where jails come in. Lightweight, secure, and around long before Docker, jails make it easy to contain services and minimize exposure in case of security issues.

#FreeBSD #Jails #OpenSource

Remind me again why I spent too many hours over the last two nights modeling how I might #selfhost a #git #collaboration server in #FreeBSD #jails with #pot.

Some years ago I told myself I shouldn’t do IT as a #hobby. It was already enough as a paid job. I should get better at keeping #promises to myself.

It’s not that I don’t think it would be useful to have such a service at home. It’s that the effort-to-reward ratio would be poor, and I’d create even more #unpaid work for myself.

I’m going to stop ranting now because I don’t want to be #oldmanyellsatcloud this close to bedtime.

We have #Big #Beautiful #Jails now !

Started building my entire infrastructure monitoring solution from scratch!

- Powered by FreeBSD!  
- Using Jails and seperation of duty:
- One Jail running Grafana and Prometheus
- One Jail running Netbird Wireguard to connect my infra securely
- One Jail running Nginx and Certbot

All ZFS based for backup / snapshots and rollback options.

Routed and NAT'ed via a seperate dedicated pf jail.

All working fine, I get first metrics and can start slowly improve from here.

Todo:
- Alerts via AlertManager
- Log-Ingestion via promtail
- Log analysis with Grafana Loki
- Adding remaining servers via WireGuard Mesh VPN
- Adding another Jail for Uptime-Kuma

This country ain't nothin but a company's dream
A couple hundred thousand workers that's all that they see
Our hands on our tools, money writing the rules
From the sweatshop prisons to the cops in the schools

It’s time to update your #FreeBSD box: system security patches are out.
It takes only a few minutes.
Don’t forget to update your #jails too, and to restart them after.
