Migrating from Qjail to ezjail

April 10, 2013 7 minute read

I was using qjail on my freebsd system but I’m migrating to ezjail.

The reason for this is that the port is marked as RESTRICTED. Since it seems to be a fork from ezjail without respecting the copyright and license https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-jail/2013-March/002149.html.

CGIpaf uploaded to github

March 16, 2013 less than 1 minute read

I finally converted the cgipaf cvs repository to github.

I used cvs2git It took a bit longer than expected.

My first attempt didn’t had the release tags right.

Adding --retain-conflicting-attic-files to cvs2git resolved this issue.

You’ll find how I did it it below.

Freebsd 9.1 jails with Qjail

I’m using ezjail now.

I’m adding more services to my freebsd system

I’m coming from the solaris world where it’s a common practice to run services in separated containers for security reasons.

On FreeBSD there are jails to isolate services and improve security.

At first I didn’t like jails the way the freebsd handbook describes it requires a buildworld which takes a long time on my system with a AMD C-60 CPU.

Lucky Qjail makes the deployment a lot easier.
