Want to try out OpenSearch on FreeBSD? Right now there is no official support or port for OpenSearch on FreeBSD, so I created a small hotfix for a demo installation. As I like to run everything on BastilleBSD I added basic support for jails as well (due to missing default loopback interface). Install dependencies: pkg install openjdk15 bash Fetch and extract opensearch and create a FreeBSD clone: The attached patch adds support for jails as well

In case your poudriere ports are no longer beeing updated via poudriere ports -u : Did you hear about the Git migration? The easiest way should be deleting the old ports tree and refetch it. poudriere ports -d default poudriere ports -c -m git+https Done.

Upgrade BastilleBSD jails from source Using bastille upgrade 12.1-RELEASE 12.2-RELEASE is the prefered way of upgrading.

Create a jailed Ubuntu Linux with Bastille on FreeBSD 12.2 Make sure Bastille is installed and configured. click here This is not offically supported, so don’t use it in production! update 2021/02/11: Auto Installer You could try the following POC for automated jail creation: DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION! THIS MIGHT BREAK YOUR RUNNING INSTALLATION git clone -b linux_compat https://github.com/hackacad/bastille cd bastille && make install bastille bootstrap bionic bastille create -L linuxjail bionic (ipaddress) (interface) bastille console linuxjail Manual installation This how-to is based on

This a short how-to for creating a FreeBSD pkg mirror using BastilleBSD and Poudriere. Two things: Yes! This is not a full how to for creating a mirror, but I assume you’re able to spawn a webserver and move files on the filesystem. Yes! You could do more automation using templates. At the time we started playing with poudriere with bastille didn’t have the features it has now (0.8). on the jail host: Bastille is very active so make sure you switch to latest pkg mirror

If you want/need to add password authentication to your FreeBSD Elasticsearch cluster (this should work on any FreeBSD with elasticsearch7) TLDR; (again) Add the following lines to your /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml: xpack.security.enabled: true xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true and restart elasticsearch. service elasticsearch restart Make sure curl is installed: pkg install curl Link the installed Java into the bundled directory (this is neither recommended nor supported but it does the trick) mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/elasticsearch/jdk/bin ln -s /usr/local/bin/java /usr/local/lib/elasticsearch/jdk/bin/java And run the password setup utility (this might take up to 2 minutes)
