Using Unifi gear from Ubiquiti? Have you tried their augmented reality?
I ask because I'm running a self-hosted controller on #FreeBSD and I can't figure out how the app and controller talk to each other.
Thanks

I went down into the basement #homelab to hook up my two#FreeBSD servers to a 10G connection. I started by looking for unused fiber cards to install. I found I had already done that step.
My notes say '10G optics' - that's what I'm missing. The optics. Time to hunt those down.

In today's "I'm not working" accomplishments, I've fixed two Nginx LibreNMS graphing issues (it was permissions for nginx-status on the host) and resurrected TimeMachine backups on my air01.

I feel accomplished today. The snmp problems are solved. LibreNMS is doing more metrics for hosts (mainly memory usage). I also fixed up two confused WAPs (wrong IP address thanks to mangled DHCP configuration).
Plus, my desk has a new light and it’s spectacular.

How can I determine which jail a #zfs dataset is jailed into? I'm trying to backup some snapshots on #FreeBSD - my current block: how to determine the full path to a jailed snapshot if I know only the dataset name?
Details here: https://dan.langille.

Here's a Bacula job which runs backups of snapshots for the ZFS datasets you specify. I just ran it on #FreeBSD 14.0

Tonight, while not at home, my #pfSense box in the basement was updated from 23.01 to 23.05.1 - it takes about 45 minutes for the process to happen. During that time I always think: it should be done by now.

Tonight, the last three jails were updated from FreeBSD 13.2 to #FreeBSD 14.0
Tonight, pkg01, my poudriere build server will not build for 13.2

That’s the TV mounted on the wall. It sat on the floor for 18 months after I moved in.
Now it’s the artwork’s turn to sit on the floor until I hang that.

While restoring my #PostgreSQL database to a new #FreeBSD server, I discovered the wrong database server in a configuration file.

Please show me the #nginx redirect when the the URL ends with (.*)?branch=
It should redirect to that .* value.
Thanks
I messed up a thing and now we have all these extra URLs to redirect permanent. Just to keep the traffic down.
/cc FreshPorts

This hurdle blocked a #FreeBSD host from getting onto fiber today:
Oct 22 20:50:02 r730-01 kernel: ix0: Unsupported SFP+ module type was detected.
I have a small collection of optical units I can choose from. I'll try again tomorrow.

I just spent 15 minutes debugging a script. Make changes, try again. No effect.
The script I have been modifying is not the same script I am running.
Where's my root beer?

If you need to partition a #FreeBSD drive just like another one:
gpart backup da0 | gpart restore da1
BOOM!
e.g. https://dan.langille.org/2...

I was looking for a way to find failed umlauts in a particular column. For example, Ã as found at https://www.freshports.org... - I'm sure there are other variations as well, but I'm not sure what to search for. I can search for that 1 character, however, I'm sure there are more.

Do I know anyone with a connection to https://www.colocationamer... / ColocationUSA ?
They have a data center only 40 minutes from me. That may be a great FreshPorts colocation.
Thanks.

A bit more than 9 years ago, I had no idea that my current employer used #FreeBSD , let alone how much.
Today is my 9th anniversary working for Cisco, Talos Intelligence Group specifically. We have a great team and it's a load of fun.

Sometimes you don't want your #zfs datasets mounted in your #FreeBSD jails when they aren't running.
Sometimes you do.
Often, I've using /etc/fstab.JAILNAME for that.
This time, I'm putting it all into /etc/jail.conf.

I was just telling Jan Bramkamp about moving my Time Capsule from the host into a jail on another host[1]. He suggested using Samba instead of netatalk/afp.
Plan: spin up another jail, using samba, try that.
Have you done this?
