Domain It was high time that I "owned" part of the internet, so I went on NameCheap.com and "bought" two URLs. I went with the WhoisGuard feature, and I set the domain registrations for auto-renewal. VPS I then registered w/ DigitalOcean and provided my cre...

Upon SSH'ing into the server, I am greeted w/ a cold black and white terminal.  Excellent. Housekeeping Before moving forward, let's get the system up to date and grab a few packages we'll need momentarily. freebsd-update fetch install pkg update &&amp...

Filesystem We'll want a dataset to store data that will exist outside the jails.  Yay for ZFS (for reasons I'm glossing over...). zfs create -o compress=lz4 -o atime=off -o mountpoint=/usr/local/data zroot/data (Did I have to create /usr/local/data before d...

Prerequisites Have a jail called bs_jail We already created a handful at once.  Let's look (at the relevant output). [root@freebsd:~]# bastille list JID IP Address Hostname Path bs_jail 10.101.10.110 bs_j...

We will ultimately change PF to direct all web traffic to this jail.  This jail will run caddy as a reverse proxy for the other jails.  Web request SSL terminations happen at the caddy web server, and the traffic is then passed transparently to the respective ...

This will be our very own, lightweight personal Github/Gitlab.  And we'll do something pretty cool with it later. This should be easy by now, right?  Now that it works, it sure looks short and easy... Set up location of repos/db zfs create -o compress=lz4 -...

We haven't gone into backups yet.  Maybe we should.  In general, writing a script to dump a database, tar files, etc, is not rocket science (though it's a bit tedious to set up).  The trickiest part in any of these is getting the backed-up files to a different...

Here's a script for backing up everything you need in the event you want to rebuild the jail and bring the existing BookStack data to the new jail. It takes no arguments.  You simply set the correct variables inside, and it just works™.  Here's how: It che...

Did we get a choice to include /usr/src when setting up this droplet?  I don't remember, but I don't think so.  Well, let's just ignore that for the moment and proceed with the upgrade process. Pro Tips Before proceeding - even though nothing will go wrong...
