i get that my dual xeon supermicro 1u is ancient but the performance on it is seriously lacking. i am still having issues with the usb drives. so the last piece of hardware that i am going to get for this thing is a DOM. because it is only 16GB i am going to have […]
migrating from proxmox to freebsd (part 12): performance
so the first thing i used for testing was plex. it installs pretty straightforward. it’s just a quick pkg install (in the jail). i had gotten a lifetime plexpass back when plex was poor and it was cheap. nowadays it’s like buying gold. glad i rolled a 7 on that. either way. the server is […]
copying partition tables in freebsd
just a quick snippet because i know this is one of those things i will need later but will forget how to do and start searching for again. if you have to replace a drive in zfs it’s probably best (when you get the replacement drive) to make sure their partition tables match to keep […]
migrating from proxmox to freebsd (part 12): bhyve
there are other options to use for virtual machines but i am going to go with the freebsd project standard, bhyve. this will load the virtual machine module for freebsd. for management i am going to go with vm-bhyve which is now part of the whole freebsd.org team of things. these instructions are taken directly […]
migrating from proxmox to freebsd (part 11): jail
so a lot of tinkering and getting past quite a few learning curves i have successfully created a jail that i’m using as a “shell box” which is running freebsd 14.2-p3 RELEASE (latest RELEASE thus far although 14.3 is due out soon). as i said earlier i settled on using bastille which is really just […]
weechat znc playback
yeah. i still use irc. tested and true. typical config is to use znc for this and connect a client. weechat is a nice client to use in a shell. so i wanted the playback to work correctly. this assumes that you have weechat connected to znc already. there are a few things that make […]
freebsd jails rclone mounting
so there are some things that i need to make a quick note of about this because i’ve been pulling my hair out for a while trying to get it to work. this is where it might get a little different depending on how you are managing jails. i am using bastille which puts things […]
joining freebsd to ad using samba/winbind
yeah i get it. the cool kids are all using sssd. but i tend to have problems with sssd and freebsd. i just wasted an hour of my life trying to get it working and it kept failing inside of a jail. so i set it up with samba / winbind instead by using the […]
migrating from proxmox to freebsd (part 10): network
i have 3 nics in this thing. 2 onboard 1gbit nics and 1 10gbit nic. i’ve bumped into an issue before where the 10gbit died and didn’t have failover configured (overheated or whatever). in proxmox it’s called bonding, in freebsd it’s called lagg (i think for everything it is called lagg but whatever linux). get […]
migrating from proxmox to freebsd (part 09): bastille
so cbsd was the porridge that was too hot. it’s a neat script but it had a lot of things that i don’t really care about like xen and virtualbox. so this attempt is going to be using bastille which is another script for managing jails. the github seems active so there’s that. they have […]
