Despite having run FreeBSD since 5.0-RELEASE, I'm always looking to optimize my system(s) and I recently discovered two small tools that make a lot of difference, namely iocage and iohyve that I didn't see mentioned in the thread, so I thought I would. iocage is a classic jail management tool, with the exception that it's written from the ground up to make use of ZFS and libvirt, and it's ready for the change in jail configuration that's supposedly coming in FreeBSD 11. On top of this, it's very easy to use and supports templates, cloning, forking, quotas, and thin-provisioning and all sorts of other very useful things you can make use of for trouble-shooting, testing and upgrading whatever you're running in the jail(s). iohyve is a tiny piece of software to put on top of bhyve, the ESXi-like bare-metal hypervisor FreeBSD have been working on for a while and which is now a very impressive piece of software. It makes it possible to create virtualized OS' that run on top of ZFS and use libvirt with a very simple syntax.

OWLS! posted:Anybody been playing with the new and shiny bhyve capabilities? Tangentially related to the above image, I know FreeBSD gets used in core routers (JunOS), TVs (Panasonic), Playstation 3 and 4, the Mars rovers (specifically the FreeBSD netstack) and many other surprising places - along with some not-so-surprising like a lot of mail servers on the web - but I've never heard of any cars running it. It'd be kinda neat if it was used there as well.

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.

SamDabbers posted:I just found nosh as well, which was inspired by daemontools and seems like it's intended to replace init on the BSDs. An Enormous Boner posted: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.
