I'm spending the weekend working on a big update to the #BastilleBSD templates collection to automate installation and setup of software and services on #FreeBSD :freebsd:

What are you doing this weekend?

Folks using @BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org's #Rocinante to manage freshly installed #FreeBSD hosts: how are you handling users declaratively? LINE_IN_FILE additions to /etc/{passwd,groups,master.passwd}? CMD adduser -f <a-templated-file>? Something else? #BastilleBSD #SysAdmin

BastilleBSD is your lightweight alternative to bloated container platforms. Native, repeatable, and ready for 1.0. Stay tuned! #BastilleBSD

Jails aren't new—but BastilleBSD makes them elegant. Bootstrap, template, manage, and audit with a single, consistent CLI. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

BastilleBSD was built on the idea that containers should be secure, lightweight, and native to FreeBSD. No daemons. No complexity. Just clean automation on top of jails. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

Templates & custom releases are easier than ever: bootstrap your own release from a template, then clone jails with standardized setups. Infra-as-code powered by BastilleBSD. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

BastilleBSD 1.0 is almost here! We’ve built a stable, extensible foundation for containerized FreeBSD. Join us in one month on July 14th to celebrate on Bastille Day! #BastilleBSD #FreeBSD

👻 Happy Friday the 13th to those who celebrate 👻 #BastilleBSD #Friday13th

BastilleBSD now favors a modern boot config: no more rcorder! Create jails with boot=on/off and priority=n for flexible startup control. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

upgrade #bastillebsd ke 0.14 dengan cara ruwet.

gagal update ports collection terpaksa hapus ports collection.

kemudian git clone ulang tanpa checkout,
kemudian add folder khusus yang mau diinstall (dalam hal ini sysutils/bastille)

kemudian make install bastille dan catat depends-nya dan add foldernya lagi (dalam hal ini Mk, Templates, Keywords, ports-mgmt).

make install sampai selesai.

Improved in v0.14.20250420: bastille setup automates PF, loopback, VNET, ZFS/UFS in one command. One-time config simplifies initial setup. #FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

Looking to simplify container automation on FreeBSD? BastilleBSD gives you one CLI to build, manage, and destroy jails — clean and declarative. #BastilleBSD #automation

BastilleBSD's new enhanced "upgrade" sub-command is awesome. It can now upgrade thin jails with just one command:

bastille upgrade -a <jailname> <release>

#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD

Coming Soon: blog post by yours truly on running #Drupal on #FreeBSD on #ZFS with #bastilleBSD for managing the setup and configuration of the #jails

But for now... Work...

I just upgraded my tiny #FreeBSD box with latest #BastilleBSD version were smooth.
Verified difference between bastille.conf.sample and mine (one line to add), then I removed all # REQUIRE and # PROVIDE line in jail.conf then just typed # bastille restart ALL
I set priority in the newly create conf file and voila.

Few years ago I got inspired by DF Tootbot and decided that I'd like to have something of this sort for my own blog. I knew I'll need something along the lines of what he was using, simply [...]

Today I saw that since Bastille's last release at the end of January there have been 625(!) commits to the repo. Many bug fixes, new features, subcommands, doc updates (💜), ...
Big props to Victor for working tiredlessly on the project. https://github.com/BastilleBSD/bastille/

Also, there have been some new videos on Bastille's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BastilleBSD demonstration upcoming features in Bastille 0.14.
