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). As soon as a new article appears here, the program automatically retrieves the new article. The link to the RSS feed is: https://bsdbox.de/en/blog.rss
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.
Briefly noted: If a 13.2 jail is no longer available on a 13.0 TrueNAS, this can be circumvented with a little trick via the shell.
Jails under TrueNAS-13.0-U6.2 must currently NOT be updated to version 13.3! 13.3 introduces at least one new system call that is not supported by the older 13.2 kernel.
RSS is offered by many websites, especially blogs and news sites. With an RSS feed, you can "watch" a website for news, which is extremely practical, especially for websites that only create new content very irregularly. This saves you the annoying and often unsuccessful visit to see if something has changed in the meantime.
It's also nice to be able to access your own services while travelling. The operation of a publicly accessible service installed in the local network can be realised ingeniously simply with a Let's Encrypt certificate and HAProxy on the OPNsense firewall.
Over the last few days and weeks I have been working internally on the structure of the website, so it may be that one or the other area looks a little different.
ixSystem has recently announced that there will be no TrueNAS Core 14 version. This means that 13.3 will be the last version to be officially released. TrueNAS CORE has now virtually reached End of Live status and I look back wistfully on the last few years of a very nice project. This is not immediately the end of TrueNAS CORE, but it is foreseeable.
Over the last few days, I have continued to work on the structure of the website and the articles in the background. In addition to an extensive "standardisation" in terms of structure and layout, two separate articles were also created as the basis for others:
The UniFi Controller Management Interface enables the management of UniFi devices and the display of network statistics. The installation effort is minimal and quickly completed.
At the weekend I had to move a NodeBB forum. It's actually quite simple, as only the database and the NodeBB directory need to be copied. Actually.
