How to install the Clamav antivirus in FreeBSD

April 25, 2017 By Albert Valbuena

Clamav is an antivirus. But don’t think of Clamav as the antivirus you have sitting in your personal computer at home or in your office. It’s an antivirus that works under user demand. It is not constantly monitoring the system. So you will have to setup some cronjobs in order to check and monitor the […]

Abandon Linux. How to install iocage to manage FreeBSD Jails

February 25, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

The iocage program is a python 3 piece created to manage FreeBSD Jails leveraging the underpinning ZFS file system on FreeBSD. As already explained on previous articles the FreeBSD operating system offers an OS-level virtualization system called Jails. And as described on past articles it can benefit administrators and developers alike. This is a simple […]

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 replace a disk on a ZFS mirror pool

February 14, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

It’s happened to me, it’s happened to you, it’s happened more than one million times and it will still happen in the future. You run out of disk space or a disk fails. Nowadays you are using ZFS, and instead of having a fancy RAIDZ, because you still don’t need it, you are using a […]

Abandon Linux. Jails for developers.

April 29, 2019 By Albert Valbuena

Reading the title you might think I want to put developers in Jail and although some may be good candidates this is in the far opposite of my intention. I am talking about FreeBSD Jails. For the unfamiliar with the concept those Jails are userland secure contained environments that share a common kernel. Purists and […]

How to install Matomo 4 on FreeBSD

May 2, 2021 By Albert Valbuena

Why would anyone need to install Matomo 4 on FreeBSD? Because you’re the admin of a website, or a few of them, and you want/need to count the visitors, how long do the stay looking at the content and some other fancy stuff. This is what Matomo does. But it also does this without you […]

In this article I’ll be covering Modsecurity 3 applied to protect Apache HTTP. If you find the articles in Adminbyaccident.com useful […]

How to secure the ELK stack on CentOS 8

May 12, 2020 By Albert Valbuena

This is a follow up of the ‘how to install the ELK stack on CentOS 8’. That is a basic setup with no security at all. There is no encryption, no username and password setup, nothing. Not even firewall rules to filter ports. And as it’s known security can’t only rely on one factor but […]
