How to install Redis for WordPress on FreeBSD

How to configure FreeBSD to use a webcam (version 12 and 13)

August 13, 2023 By Albert Valbuena

Introduction. Unlike many Linux distributions the FreeBSD operating system comes quite crude out of the box. What others will interpret as a disadvantage, with some knowledge on the system, others see the power to serve. Anyone willing to have a nice FreeBSD desktop experience with little effort, there are a couple of BSD-based distributions, like […]

How to update FreeBSD using beadm

November 17, 2017 By Albert Valbuena

Beadm is a tool which provides a wonderful and distinctive functionality on Solaris, OpenIndiana and FreeBSD. It relies on the ZFS filesystem allowing to take a filesystem snapshot. That can be used to manage the so called boot environments which provide a great way to secure updates, even when everything goes down the tubes. Hence […]

Linus on ZFS

Disclaimer: What you are about to read may contain inaccuracies. Feel free to discuss them somewhere else. This is also my opinion and as such it may change through time, maybe tomorrow, next month, next year, next decade or never. I do also make very few reviews (if any) of what I write here so […]

Absolute FreeBSD 3rd Edition Book Review

March 7, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

Absolute FreeBSD 3rd Edition from Michael W. Lucas, printed by ‘No Starch Press’, is an absolute (pun intended) must have for every BSD user and I’d go so far as to say to every UNIX and Linux user indeed. If you find the articles in Adminbyaccident.com useful to you, please consider making a donation. Use […]

How to configure Modsecurity 3 for WordPress on FreeBSD

June 13, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

A few weeks ago I wrote a guide on how to install Modsecurity 3 on Apache HTTP for the FreeBSD operating system. However there’s a catch with that setting and with Modsecurity in general. As good as it is as a WAF you need to at least adjust its configuration to the tool one pretends […]

How to enable log rotation on FreeBSD

May 5, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

This is a very short simple entry but it may help you. As many others you may be running a web server, or any other service that creates some logging information. Enable log rotation on FreeBSD will keep those log files in a manageable size (at least more readable) and they won’t grow and expand […]

How to install ModSecurity 3 on FreeBSD

March 1, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

A couple of years ago I wrote a guide on how to install Modsecurity on FreeBSD. Now the program is on its third iteration so a new article is needed. Or so I think. In this article I’ll be covering Modsecurity 3 applied to protect Apache HTTP. If you find the articles in Adminbyaccident.com useful […]

Lynis or how to quickly audit your system’s security configuration

May 10, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

A colleague of mine pointed me out to Lynis, a system’s configuration audit tool which checks the hardening of any running UNIX or UNIX-like system, including the BSDs. This tool has a built in check list and a set of sane and safe configurations and compares them to the target system. As output we find […]

FreeBSD Jails

January 8, 2018 By Albert Valbuena

The FreeBSD jails is a virtualization technology you may have skipped for too long. It is an operating system level virtualization and is one of the differential characteristics of FreeBSD from Linux. Solaris took it to the main corporate use with Zones and as it couldn’t be any other way the Illumos folks also play […]

A few useful network commands

March 16, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

Troubleshooting network issues with simple commands is not a very difficult topic once there is a little toolbox to pull from. Needless to say networking topics can be very complicated and any specialist on the field will tell you how cumbersome it can really get. However with a few set of commands one can get […]
