I have a bit of an unorthodox setup with my FreeBSD 12.0 DigitalOcean droplet and a server hosted at home. The home server does not have a public IP, which is a problem since I use it to host this website. Instead I use the public-facing droplet to redirect traffic to the server over a VPN connection.

Below are the relevant portions of my configurations. Obviously I am not responsible for any damage caused if you use them. Let me know if you have any fixes or improvements.

Summary: I want to die.

Jamie stares at it for a bit; decides he likes the way it looks in his handwriting. Jots it down a couple more times, all in a row, roughly the same size. He can't put a finger on it, but something about it makes him feel good. Maybe 'cause it's the first time he's been honest with himself in like, ever.

There must be some fantastically fast log parsing algorithm out there that we can use… right?

Spotify supports unicode usernames which we are a bit proud of (not many services allow you to have ☃, the unicode snowman, as a username). However, it has also been a reliable source of pain over the years. This is the story of one time when it bit us pretty badly and how we spent Easter dealing with it.

Packmule is a tool I wrote to customize FreeBSD images without recompiling anything. It can:

Add individual files and packages to an existing image.
Turn a regular image into a unattended image. (automatically installs without any user input)
Add packages or files to the Live CD itself.
Operate on ISO or Memstick images.

It's also perfect for organizing large scale VM or server installations. Let's assume you are the proud owner of 30 servers, each of which needs to be set up with an identical installation of FreeBSD containing the same packages and configuration files. It's relatively easy to set up a tool like Ansible to manage each server, but you are not looking forward to manually installing Ansible's base dependencies 30 times. What you really need is a unattended installation image that installs FreeBSD and Ansible's dependencies for you.

Installing

Packmule is now a part of the ports tree, meaning installing is as simple as:

pkg install packmule

Check out man packmule once you've installed for the complete rundown.

Unattended installation for Ansible management

Although it is agentless, Ansible requires a few basic things like a python interpreter and sudo. It also requires a user with access to the wheel group (gid 0). The user is added through the installerconfig.

First we need to create an installerconfig file to tell the FreeBSD installer what actions to perform. More information about unattended installer configurations can be found in the bsdinstall(8) manpage. Our configuration should look something like:

Going Forward

Adding support for Memstick images and live CD upgrades opened new doors for the tool.

I wrote the features so I could replace the kernel on a live USB stick in order to test some driver fixes on a friend's laptop without overwriting his OS.

Long-term progress has very little to do with how motivated you feel. It has far more to do with how you think when things don’t go as planned. Most meaningful change doesn’t begin with grand goals or bursts of inspiration....

Summary: He can’t hang out with the boys, but he hates going home too. He hates being alone in his new flat, terrified that his dad will find out where he lives now and send them after him again. He’s taken to hanging round the club after training. He’ll find a quiet place to sit, pull out his book, and settle in for as long as he can before the stadium locks up for the night and he's forced to leave.

He’s onto the 34th book to read before you die — Emma — and is surprised by how much he likes it. In comparison to his own drama, gentle scandals and gossip are a nice escape. Today’s reading location is the boot room. The new kitman has some magic way of making it smell of lavender instead of sweaty feet, and if Jamie puts a couple of towels on the bench, it makes a nice pillow to sit on.

Mr Knightley is in the middle of yet another stern lecture — in his head, Knightley looks a lot like Roy, but he's not sure Keeley quite fits as Emma — when the door bangs open. Jamie jumps and is surprised to see Keeley standing there instead of Will, a guilty look on her face.

After a traumatic event Jamie falls apart, then puts himself back together again. He does the hard work, but he has a little help.

Unable to proceed after this, I went ahead and searched for the problem online. The closest I could find for this message was this forum post, but the people trying to troubleshoot the solution seemed to be firing in all directions without a clear strategy.

I was about to give up when I read this second to last reply, which was solid gold:

You had that problem for reason probably you removed the installation USB drive after installation and cause after reboot your main USB drive shifted down from /dev/da1... to /dev/da0...

Bingo: the reason why this happened was that my USB device count was one unit higher during the install, since I had USB drive 0 as the install medium and USB drive 1 as the "disk." This is what got written to fstab and all. Then, when I'm booting from the only USB around, the "disk" becomes USB 0, and fstab is completely lost.

And so, the solution: boot from a live medium, or mount the USB drive you've installed on another computer, then edit that disk's /etc/fstab file to change:

... /dev/ada1p2 ...

To

... /dev/ada0p2 ...

And so on throuh any other references you might have in that file. Save it, close and reboot normally with the frugal media. FreeBSD should start again, normally this time, and voilà: you're ready to rock with the Daemon to go \,,/
