Dhcpd
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...
One of my OpenBSD server provides DHCP and DNS resolving for my home LAN. But it sometimes has to go into maintenance mode. And if an IoT or phone requires an IP address or an FQDN at the precise moment, I hear screaming throughout the whole house.
So I decided to have fully redundant network services using two OpenBSD servers.Continue reading...
I am migrating a bunch of services from my Synology to OpenBSD ; DHCP Server being one of them. I have configured quite a few DHCP reservations over time. And I would like a better way to migrate them to dhcpd(8) than copy & paste ; or rewrite from scratch.Continue reading...
Now that I have an OpenBSD server hosted in the Wild and capable of doing virtualization , I’ll migrate all my VM hosted on Synology Virtual Machine Manager. But even if the OpenBSD installer is straight forward, deploying tens of VM takes some time. So I set up an automated environment that provides fast and (nearly) finger-less deployment.Continue reading...
