Let's do something different today.

Join me for a live-stream of a beautiful desert sunset.

I'm currently exploring wild places in the American Southwest (Arizona), and sharing some of it with you.

Take a few minutes for yourself, slow down, and consider joining. See you there. 😎

Another sneak preview of the in-progress BastilleBSD web interface, powered by the new BastilleBSD API.

The Resources page provides you with a quick overview of the available hardware resources and allows you to manage CPU, MEM and DISK based limits.

What do you think about the Resources page?

2026 continues to be a good year for BastilleBSD!

We've onboarded our third training cohort this month, API development continues to mature and the UI is nearly ready for wider testing.

Let us know here if you'd like to help beta test the API and web interface on your Bastille hosts.

Bastille API development continues with support to delegate granular access keys for users or service accounts.

In other words, you can generate API keys that only have access to certain commands within Bastille or Rocinante.

This foundation should allow for service accounts that are limited to only the 'service' subcommand or to execute zfs snapshots or whatever other limited scope you need.

We want to make this a powerful tool for you without compromising security.

Did you know that you can use `bastille verify` to check the integrity of your Bastille releases and templates?

> bastille verify 15.0-RELEASE

> bastille verify template/path

This is a great way to ensure that your deployments are
consistent and secure.

If the RELEASE argument is specified, Bastille will import the jail using that release.

**EXAMPLES**

Import myjail_DATE.txz:
> bastille import myjail_DATE.txz

Import myjail_DATE.gz under 15.0-RELEASE:
> bastille import myjail_DATE.txz 15.0-RELEASE

Import myjail_DATE.gz under 15.0-RELEASE from non-default location:
> bastille import /my/custom/folder/myjail_DATE.txz 15.0-RELEASE

Another screenshot of the in-progress BastilleBSD web interface, leveraging the new Bastille API backend.

The Services page is designed to allow you to manage all your container services in one place.

Enable or disable a service with a click, verify service status and manually start/stop/restart services as needed.

Exciting developments coming soon!

A new Bastille API with accompanying modern interface are coming along!

Soon you'll have the option to manage your systems from an intuitive interface.

We'll be sharing some screenshot previews over the next couple weeks for feedback.
