To follow up on that: Updating the file server to 11 seems to have fixed it. In hindsight I suspect it's because mountd was changed to use the -S flag by default ("don't break horribly when updating the exports list, but possibly hang for a bit instead") , but I'm not about to roll back to 10.3 to test that theory.

At work we use combinations of OpenBGPD, OpenOSPFD, and OpenIKED to build internet routers, VPN gateways, and anycast DNS/RADIUS/internal services. It's typically really stable (both as a platform and uptime-wise) and nice to work with, but it's not super suitable for modern high-velocity development/server stuff- mainly because they only update their package repository every 6 months.

Ok so now that I'm on 11 I decided to try out the Docker support. It's all unsupported linux syscalls all the way down as far as I can tell, not sure what I was expecting. Is there something I'm missing?

The documentation wiki is pretty clear on this: quote:Docker on FreeBSD relies heavily on ZFS, jail and the 64bit Linux compatibility layer that was introduced in June, 2015. Docker on FreeBSD is genuine Docker and retrieves containers from the official docker.io repository.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/linuxemu-lbc-install.html The linux compatibility layer is included in the base system, you merely need to enable it. The linux base system is a separate port that is necessary for binaries to run, it is installed automatically in the event you installed a linux binary port.

Anyone know how you would mount a remote NFS share in FreeNAS? I have a few Plugins(Jails essentially) running a few apps. Does this need to be done on a jail by jail basis or is there a more elegant solution that Freenas provides?

Generally speaking you could just put them in the host fstab, mounting "into" the jail directory. It'll be fun making the user ids match, but you'd kind of have that problem anyway. If FreeNAS has implemented it on top of ezjail, I think it will read and mount from /etc/fstab.jailname (or something like it) when starting the jail, but there isn't anything like that for plain jails. Of course, there might also be a separate FreeNAS solution; I wouldn't know.

I'm trying to learn a bit about BSD, so I've started looking into OpenBSD installation options. As far as I understand, they provide installer for release version, daily build of current branch, but no installer for stable branch. So if I want an iso with stable version I have to build the system from source? I'm a bit confused by the logic here.

Go to https://ftp.spline.de/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/amd64/ and grab install60.iso if you want the iso or install60.fs if you want to write it to an USB. Then just boot with the media and the installation process will start. For full mirror list see http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html .

What's the proper OpenBSD way to set up a daemon that auto-restarts on crash? I was assuming rc would be in charge of that, but apparently not?

Forgall posted:What's the proper OpenBSD way to set up a daemon that auto-restarts on crash? I was assuming rc would be in charge of that, but apparently not? OpenBSD has watchdog(4) and watchdogd(8) for rebooting the machine after a crash or hang. If you want to do the same but at process granularity (i.e. restart a hung process, not the whole box) then you need something like Monit. The rc system is just a bunch of shell scripts, so it can't really do anything for process monitoring and fault recovery. That's one of the main problems that systemd was created to solve in Linux. Solaris solved this problem by replacing their rc scripts with SMF, but it's not easily portable. The Illumos distros like OmniOS and OpenIndiana have it though, if what you're doing isn't necessarily tied to OpenBSD.

In addition to Monit, there are more permissively licensed process control systems including supervisord (which is BSD, I think) and daemontools (which is Public Domain) depending on whether you want python or something which is probably quite secure.

Do the devs expect "rcctl check $service || rcctl restart $service" cron jobs or something? If you asked most experienced OpenBSD admins, would they just tell you to install nosh/supervisord/daemontools/Monit? Writing scripts yourself seems costly.

D. Ebdrup posted:Wouldn't that make it closer to OpenRC, which is done by Roy Marples of NetBSD? I'm confused as to why it isn't in the FreeBSD ports repository itself, and only distributed as a package by the developer, or as a source file. OpenRC doesn't do process supervision though, so it can't detect a crashed service and attempt to restart it. I'm also confused as to why the developer hasn't submitted a port, but he hosts his own package repository, and uses a wacky DJB-style build tool he re-implemented called redo, which is also in his repo but not in ports. I wouldn't be terribly surprised to learn that he's home-rolled his own packaging scripts instead of just using ports and poudriere like pretty much everyone else in FreeBSD-land.

What would some smartypants guy (or a loose consensus of smartypants people) say is a generalized solution for this kind of problem using the base installation? I can only think of 'roll your own scripts', which could range from a somewhat trivial exercise to a real gigantic waste of time. I'm almost certainly ignorant of something. I don't think they're averse to third-party software. Packages are important. Maybe there's someting in the collection. edit: OK... http://ports.su/sysutils/supervisor supervisor is in ports http://ports.su/sysutils/freedt this reimplementation of daemontools is in ports http://ports.su/sysutils/monit monit is in ports So, basically, everyone here probably gave good advice.

I really wish Firefox worked well on OpenBSD. You can increase datasize-max and datasize-cur in login.conf for the paths that contain the binaries. You can increase the ulimit values. I can still reliably crash it by launching mpv from thunar or pcmanfm. Apart from that, it's not performant. I know they're aware of this and are working on some optimizations. Chrome doesn't seem much better, either, and it's not significantly more stable (in my experience).

I've made a site61.tgz set and uploaded it (and index.txt file) to amazon s3 bucket. When installing OpenBSD, it complains that it can't connect over https. Http fallback works, but obviously it's not a good solution. What could be the problem and where do I start troubleshooting it? Looks like s3 is using certificate from Symantec, which I heard were involved in some controversy. Did OpenBSD devs just purge them from trusted root or something?

I have a question about OpenBSDs pf: I have an OpenBSD pc in the basement that's my internet gateway. It does forwarding, NAT and a bunch of other things. I want to implement a rule in the firewall where it blocks internet access for certain IPs (internal IPs). I came up with this as the last rules in my pf.conf: code:And it works. But, it doesn't do anything for already opened connections (such as games). Is it possible to somehow easily drop those too?
