Hello, I’ve heard lots of good things about BSD on mastodon and I am considering giving it a try on my homelab.

My current approach is based on Linux, Docker containers and Terraform. I’m toying with the idea to use FreeBSD and BastilleBSD, which could cover what I am using Docker for. I tried to search around and I’m not finding any way of managing jails via Terraform (or another similar system)

What’s the recommended approach to have infrastructure as code in the BSD world? Having all my configuration managed by Terraform and under version control works really well for me and I’d like to have a similar setup also on a BSD machine.

We spent the weekend putting the final touches on Bastille 0.10.20231125!

Major features and fixes include:

  • bootstrap #FreeBSD BETA and RC releases
  • bootstrap EOL #FreeBSD releases (>=9.0)
  • improved jail startup dependency using rcorder(8)
  • combine create options, eg: -CV, -TB, etc
  • fixes to bastille setup
  • more!

Bastille has merged support for bootstrapping end-of-life (EOL) FreeBSD releases as far back as 9.0-RELEASE. This extends support for legacy applications, testing and secure sandboxing for FreeBSD applications all the way back to 2012!

It goes without saying, any experimentation you do on ancient releases is your responsibility. We're excited to see what you do with this new feature, but please don't bring us the skeletal remains of years-old bugs in unsupported FreeBSD releases.
