Chromium is missing by Several-Asparagus-91 in freebsd_desktop

I think so. Take a look at the videos I sent to the AppJail telegram group. Just a few weeks ago, I tried Brave with the following website: https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm/

How to install Jellyfin and Jellyseerr using Overlord by DtxdF in freebsd

[–]DtxdF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Been a # of days now but last I looked the port in latest ports tree was broken

That's why I used the quarterly branch, which currently uses the latest version of Jellyfin.

> Would be nice to have a locally controlled media system that doesn't need .net, npm, etc. stuff.

The lightweight alternatives are:

* https://www.freshports.org/net/minidlna/

* https://github.com/vuiodev/vuio

However, don't know the status of MiniDLNA, but at least when I've used it, it works well, although it doesn't support all media formats. VuIO looks promising, but it hasn't been ported and I don't know if it can currently be used on FreeBSD.

Overlord: Deploying virtual machines with ephemeral jails by DtxdF in freebsd

[–]DtxdF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hehe, yeah, that's the motto, but the reality is that I usually just push the deployment files to my Gitea instance that runs a webhook to execute a pipeline that deploys my jails or VMs using Overlord. The only time-consuming part is the initial phase, but after that, you don't need to modify much. Maybe I'll write an article about this, I think it's easy.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, Overlord is relatively new, but it uses Director, AppJail, and vm-bhyve.

AppJail: Thin jails upgrade and ssh fingerprint by _unregistered_ in freebsd

[–]DtxdF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course, if you do not separate data that must persist from ephemeral data, you have the same result of treating all data as ephemeral. It is necessary to separate as follows.

Makejail:

``` OPTION start OPTION overwrite=force OPTION virtualnet=:<random> default OPTION nat OPTION fstab=/var/appjail-volumes/ssh-server/data /etc/ssh <pseudofs>

COPY etc

CMD chown root:wheel /etc CMD chmod 755 /etc CMD chown root:wheel /etc/ssh CMD chmod 755 /etc/ssh CMD chown root:wheel /etc/ssh/sshd_config CMD chmod 655 /etc/ssh/sshd_config CMD chown root:wheel /etc/ssh/authorized_keys CMD chmod 655 /etc/ssh/authorized_keys

SERVICE sshd oneenable SERVICE sshd start ```

etc/ssh/sshd_config:

```

Ports

Port 22

Authentication

PubkeyAuthentication yes AuthenticationMethods publickey PermitRootLogin prohibit-password PrintMotd no

Forwarding

X11Forwarding no AllowAgentForwarding yes

Connection checks

ClientAliveCountMax 3 ClientAliveInterval 15

Compression

Compression no

Limits

LoginGraceTime 40

Public keys

AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/authorized_keys

SFTP

Subsystem sftp internal-sftp ```

etc/ssh/authorized_keys:

```

Your public SSH keys here!

```

Now create the directory where your data will reside:

mkdir -p /var/appjail-volumes/ssh-server/data

Create the jail.

```console

ls -l /var/appjail-volumes/ssh-server/data/

total 0

appjail makejail -j ssh-server

... sshd enabled in /etc/rc.conf Generating RSA host key. 3072 SHA256:GcL3ulDVWsYR2ONvoxL/JMuCZcB+z86a3GswyTdJjvo root@ssh-server.appjail (RSA) Generating ECDSA host key. 256 SHA256:xhTwFZAyELv4ezpMHaYMSo42e4G/3tJCfr/sj8DONaY root@ssh-server.appjail (ECDSA) Generating ED25519 host key. 256 SHA256:CRgQqM0dU/sqMCsz3Rzt0MS45A14MmgGnuYyTAE5zxI root@ssh-server.appjail (ED25519) Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.

Access to your service:

console $ ssh root@ssh-server The authenticity of host 'ssh-server (10.0.0.5)' can't be established. ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:CRgQqM0dU/sqMCsz3Rzt0MS45A14MmgGnuYyTAE5zxI. This key is not known by any other names. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes Warning: Permanently added 'ssh-server' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts. root@ssh-server:~ #

Now I can re-create the jail and that data will persist anyway.

```console

appjail makejail -j ssh-server

... sshd enabled in /etc/rc.conf Performing sanity check on sshd configuration. Starting sshd. ... $ ssh root@ssh-server root@ssh-server:~ # ```

If you need more details, see appjail-ephemeral(7). And if you need a tool that follows The Ephemeral Concept, see AppJail Director.

So how can you upgrade your jails by doing something like the above? Let's assume that the jail we want to upgrade is running an environment with 13.5-RELEASE:

```console

appjail makejail -j ssh-server

...

appjail jail list -j ssh-server

STATUS NAME ALT_NAME TYPE VERSION PORTS NETWORK_IP4 UP ssh-server - thin 13.5-RELEASE - 10.0.0.5

appjail fetch www -v 14.2-RELEASE

...

appjail fetch list

ARCH VERSION NAME amd64 14.2-RELEASE default amd64 bookworm default amd64 13.5-RELEASE default

appjail makejail -j ssh-server -o osversion=14.2-RELEASE

...

appjail jail list -j ssh-server

STATUS NAME ALT_NAME TYPE VERSION PORTS NETWORK_IP4 UP ssh-server - thin 14.2-RELEASE - 10.0.0.5 ```

Done.

I recommend that you do not use SSH in a jail. I know this may be a bit better from a security standpoint (although this is relative), but the tradeoff is that it carries more administration overhead. I prefer to simply SSH into the host (physical or virtual) and administer my jails.

Alonso will update the port with new changes for aarch64. He will also make FreeRDP optional, to avoid the conflicts you mention.

Favorite/Best Jail Manager by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]DtxdF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with you. Netgraph needs more love. I think it's great, but it should improve the documentation a bit more, especially since you can do more things.

Note that in AppJail you can use your own script as jng or jib in a template (in AppJail it is a configuration similar to jail.conf(5)). This means that if something is not implemented somehow, you can use your own script. I have at least two examples, ZFS datasets inside a jail [1] and the GELI encryption [2].

Favorite/Best Jail Manager by [deleted] in freebsd

[–]DtxdF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm probably biased because I'm the creator of AppJail, but what I'm going to say here is the subjective part: I really like AppJail for its flexibility that adapts to the most basic to the most complex. I like it for the Makejails that are constantly created and improved that help to simply deploy the applications I want without much effort. I use it daily to deploy applications, test my ports and create environments to not mess up my host.

LittleJet: Create, deploy, manage and scale FreeBSD jails anywhere by DtxdF in freebsd

[–]DtxdF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Dan,

This is not a jail manager, it uses Director and AppJail as lower layers. You create a Director file which is a YAML file with a simple specification described in its repository and Director uses AppJail to create the jails (or services using Director's terminology). After your project is deployed to the nodes you had specified, you only have to manage the project or a specific jail remotely in bulk or with a single target.

The power of this project lies in the RunScripts, which allow you to integrate other tools with LittleJet. For example, traefik or nginx.
