How to install Redis for WordPress on FreeBSD

FreeBSD Jails

January 8, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

The FreeBSD jails is a virtualization technology you may have skipped for too long. It is an operating system level virtualization and is one of the differential characteristics of FreeBSD from Linux. Solaris took it to the main corporate use with Zones and as it couldn’t be any other way the Illumos folks also play […]

How to enable log rotation on FreeBSD

May 5, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

This is a very short simple entry but it may help you. As many others you may be running a web server, or any other service that creates some logging information. Enable log rotation on FreeBSD will keep those log files in a manageable size (at least more readable) and they won’t grow and expand […]

A word on Spectre and Meltdown

September 1, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

As professionals and many aficionados know, early this year some widespread vulnerabilities were found on Intel CPU’s as well as on AMD’s. It was a bit later discovered the flaws also affected some RISC architectures such as Power and ARM. Everybody went nuts and the world seemed to be tumbling because of two CPU vulnerabilities […]

How to install the Clamav antivirus in FreeBSD

April 25, 2017 By Albert Valbuena

Clamav is an antivirus. But don’t think of Clamav as the antivirus you have sitting in your personal computer at home or in your office. It’s an antivirus that works under user demand. It is not constantly monitoring the system. So you will have to setup some cronjobs in order to check and monitor the […]

ARP spoofing attacks

April 15, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

ARP spoofing attacks are quite harming and they can easily constitute a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. They consist on the attacker sending ARP packets into the network the victim is located, typically redirecting traffic to the attacker’s machine. Once this is achieved the attacker can sniff all the traffic sent by the victim’s device and obtain […]

How to mirror disks on FreeBSD’s ZFS

May 11, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

This article is not going to be a long, detailed, specialized how to. I just wanted to share the ease and the fantastic quality of ZFS for a dead simple need I had. A spare box with a spare disk doing nothing could be repurposed as a file share box at home. Mirroring the two […]

How to install WordPress on FreeBSD

May 13, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

You can find information about how to install WordPress on FreeBSD somewhere else since there are many tutorials around explaining it. However I thought mine would be a bit more interesting to you. Read on. As you should be aware (and hopefully you already are) installing WordPress requires a stack of other software. Typically you […]

Abandon Linux. How to install iocage to manage FreeBSD Jails

February 25, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

The iocage program is a python 3 piece created to manage FreeBSD Jails leveraging the underpinning ZFS file system on FreeBSD. As already explained on previous articles the FreeBSD operating system offers an OS-level virtualization system called Jails. And as described on past articles it can benefit administrators and developers alike. This is a simple […]

How to mitigate/solve the MDS vulnerabilities of Intel processors in FreeBSD

May 18, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

It had to happen again. Anyone betting on new hardware vulnerabilities on Intel processors would have won. This time these are called the MDS vulnerabilities, which stands for Microarchitectural Data Sampling. The trouble is the ones who would have really made big money would have been those stating the new CPUs were on the same […]

Abandon Linux. Rolling back the entire OS is possible.

February 18, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

When I was writing an article on updating FreeBSD from the 11.2 version to the new major release number 12, I was trying to add something extra for those who may read some of the information I publish. FreeBSD as a UNIX operating system has similar functionality to the old school UNIX ones such as […]
