Sylve is a new and very promising bhyve and jail manager for FreeBSD - coming with clustering support and a pretty nice and modern web ui which is alike the #Proxmox one. I had a closer look at it... And I'm amazed!

Finally managed to join @dexter@bsd.network’s bhyve call after a long time. Really happy to see that #sylve plays an important role and we can discuss upcoming feature implementations. Things are definitely moving into the right direction with clearly visible progress! Thanks @hayzam@bsd.cafe

Finished moving a few simple websites to #FreeBSD #Jails on my 2014 Mac Mini server (which is also a simple desktop).

I tried bastille export / import and it’s refreshingly simple.

I need to get an external disk on this for backups though. And also create a VM in my proxmox cluster just to receive incremental ZFS backups.

I have little real life experience with BSD stuff.

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.

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

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.
