Follow me on the path through various open source projects and my experiences with them.
As soon as a new article appears here, you will be informed by us. Simply subscribe to my RSS news feeds. Behind the complicated-sounding name is a small file that you can subscribe to with your Internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari ...) or a special RSS reader (e.g. Thunderbird or Feedly).

The very first article on this website (and the last one for this year) has been completely revised and converted to FreeBSD-only operation. This makes it even easier to create your own Vaultwarden server.
Just a quick note. When I replaced my faulty hard drive, they also replaced all of them with larger models. I love upgrades. During the data migration, I only realized later that the actual size of the pool had not grown with it. This can be remedied in one small step.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server: An important milestone that deals with the topic of virtualisation with BHYVE. This also marks the start of a parallel series of articles on how best to install the various VMs.
During the creation of the article series FreeBSD as a server, I actually had a hard drive fail. In such a case, I don't hesitate for long and replace it immediately. My data is more important to me than a possible ‘I'll be fine’, even if the disc was back after a reboot. With ZFS, this has lost its horror.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server. This is mainly about the final version of the article on setting up Bastille and creating the first jails.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server. I went through all the previous articles again and made minor adjustments here and there. Network settings and preparations and Firewall added.
With my new article series: FreeBSD as a server and the cancellation of TrueNAS CORE, the FreshRSS article has now been adapted to a pure FreeBSD setup and iocage has been replaced by Bastille. In addition, various changes were made to the dependent articles.
With my new article series: FreeBSD as a server the ‘Console only section’ was also continued. However, as there is always something to improve, all these sections have been moved to Github and linked.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server. The two topics "S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and self test" und "Monit system monitoring also for ZFS pools" have been added.
The primary purpose of a server is of course to provide all kinds of services permanently and to look after important data. FreeBSD is ideally suited for this. Even without a convenient website such as TrueNAS, the administration of such a server is no problem, very lean and in many situations even advantageous. Purists who absolutely understand their system and want to retain absolute control are in the right place here.
