The other day, I used FreeBSD on a Raspberry Pi card to get a redundant DHCP server and DNS resolver working together with an OpenBSD server.
It works great. But another FreeBSD server is available and I don’t really need yet another gadget powered on. So I moved both the DHCP and DNS services to this machine. While I was there, I took the opportunity to put them into their own jails. Because, you know, privilege escalation…Continue reading...
Some time ago, I set up Redundant DHCP server and DNS Resolver using OpenBSD . Time has past and one of the Raspberry Pi board I own is now running FreeBSD while the ODROID HC4 is running OpenBSD .
I secured both my DHCP server and DNS resolver services running on those boards so that I can perform maintenance on one machine without turning down the whole services set.Continue reading...
Not convinced lately with OpenBSD on this board , I went searching for another BSD OS to run on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. According to the documentation, FreeBSD should do fine.
Let’s have a look.Continue reading...
I’ve been lurking on the PINE64 ROCKPro64 for a long time but its price compared to other options has always kept me from buying one. But being very happy with my ODROID HC4, I went hunting for a ROCKPro64 and found one.
I have (a small) ZFS NAS plans for it. But before I get all the hardware, let’s take a quick look at it running various BSD systems.Continue reading...
A few years ago, I ran OpenBSD 7.4 on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W . It was working quite nice as a DHCP and DNS server. But it froze too often for my linkings and I stopped using it.
These days, that particular board is still not referenced on the official OpenBSD arm64 supported hardware list. Still, I gave it a try on OpenBSD 7.8.Continue reading...
