FreeBSD

Stumbled onto this while researching. Instructions seem somewhat simplified, but it still seems valuable as a starting point.

Does anyone know of a way to automate updates? What I usually do, manually, is to run:

freebsd-update fetch install

I see on man page one can put cron option to do fetch, but don't see a way to automate the actual install.

So this is the tool I'm using to manage my jails. It's documentation is very good in the same vein as FreeBSD itself.

Another good read!

I've worked with the various components before but not specifically this. Going to install it in a jail and see what it looks like.

Good read for anyone considering trying out freebsd.

Going to create an email server in a jail using appjails for the first time. In the past I only created thick jails using native tools. Curious to see how using appjails with a thin jail will work.

With the recent changes in US law banning non american router/firewalls, I've decided to take some old hardware and build my own. Trying to decide if I go Opnsense or a vanilla Freebsd install.
