server

Hello I'm very new to FreeBSD and I need you guys to help me out with something. (my English is not so good, sorry for mistakes) Our teacher asked us to set up a server on FreeBSD and have Linux as a client to share files and manage the client. I've just downloaded and installed FreeBSD and...

I use it for development, you know, Programming 'n stuff... :) I also use it for ZFS, since I keep backups of my friends' and family members' data. :) I also use it for other things, like when I use Linux, but want more of a UN*X-y feel. It also speaks to how good of an OS it is when I...

Hello community! I thank this forum for all the info I had. For several months, I think about the idea of migrating the whole Windows architecture under FreeBSD, currently we have: ISP Modem / Router -Wireless Server Windows Server 2008R2 1 - File Sharing (1,7TB DATA) - Domain Controller (25...

Hi folks, Would you please recommend a good DNS software suitable to setup a Dynamic DNS server for a large number of clients (like 2000-3000)? Currently I'm using dns/maradns for personal purposes, but I'm doubting it's a good choice for a commercial project. Thanks for advises!

This question really feels like it belongs in the Network fourm. But the description for Services indicates it belongs here. So here goes... OK I've run a single DNS to provide recursive queries for all the local servers. Which are all DNS Masters/SOA's for a multitude of domains. But traffic...

Hello. I'm experiencing a strange problem in my FreeBSD 11.1 jailed web server. 4 hours ago I needed to replace the hard drive of my home server, because was broken and I reinstalled FreeBSD with exactly the same config before hard drive change, where the jailed server was doing the work so...

For reasons of economy, a number of servers for my startup have found a comfortable home in a walk-in closet in my home. While I do not mind the constant whirring of the fans and disks (the sound of a hard-working server is music to my ears), and crisis response time is at an all time low...

EDIT: the problem is solved Hello, i had used Debian at the last several years and i'm very new to FreeBSD. I tryed to port my configuration for fail2ban from my Debian machines to FreeBSD (with the modification due the firewall has changed). In my testing phase i have found out that the...

For an assignment we have to connect two workstations to the internet through an HP server running BSD. The WS are connected to a switch that runs to eth0(10.0.0.0 network) and eth1 is connected to the schools internet 192.168.175.0 network. Gateway is enabled, the server is connected to the...

What's your opinion about this? Should you have separated router and a server machine or is it okay to have every service in the same machine? By services I mean DNS, NAS, VPN, murmur etc. Should you keep a router purely as a router?

Hello folks, I'm currently looking for a solution to monitor my FreeBSD servers/hosts. I'd like to have a utility that allows me to monitor multiple FreeBSD hosts remotely (eg. via a web interface). I've searched the interwebs and it appears that there are plenty of utilities available for...

Hello, I've a simple question. I'm not system administrator so maybe my knowledge is a bit outdated. So, I've 4 simple, cheap VPS servers (web, builder, devel (port maintaining) and backup) and it's a little complicated thing to login to every server and run pkg upgrade or freebsd-update fetch...

Does anyone know any good brand and model of laptop to use with FreeBSD? I mean, it's already got a battery and everything, you can find them cheap used, you can shove them in a mini fridge... with USB3 and eSATA, like... why not? Hardware is sometimes hit and miss... chipsets, controllers...

Hello everybody, I have just registered here because I am planning a project where I think FreeBSD could be the ideal OS. I am currently running a dual boot system with Arch Linux and Windows 10. Both systems have FDE, Linux with LUKS (LVM) and Windows with Bitlocker, so data can not be easily...

Hi guys, I have a special gem of a strategic question for you. Lately I acquired an OKI C301dn color laser printer capable of duplex printing and USB/LAN connection. The device was dirt-cheap so I did not do much research, but now I know why it was dirt-cheap: The printing quality is quite...

Hi all, I have been tasked with setting up a new server to replace a 10+ year old Apple Mac Server which has been running as the "Mainserver" for a small company I work at. This Mac server performs various server roles, including DHCP, DNS, and most importantly, file serving. We have roughly...

I’ve never been in a server room from which I could not steal a random hard drive without getting caught, if I wanted. I have been in server hosting companies’ rooms in more than one countries. Should I find one that employs guards with machine guns, still there is a point from which it isn’t...

I have a VPS server running FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p4 and nginx so this might belong in the "Web Services" category. It contains three very low volume web sites that have been up for about three years, all listening on the same nginx server. I was tinkering with TLS and SSL ciphers on one of the...

Hello there! I'm new in the FreeBSD forums, and in the system in general, but FreeBSD calls me so much to learn about the UNIX universe (servers, sysadmins, things like that) Well, let me comment about my plan in my work: When I was hired in my work, I noticed about a issue related a...

As of FreeBSD 10.0, a "light" version of Subversion has been integrated into the base system. It includes most of the svn tools, though the filenames have been changed (e.g. "svnlite" instead of "svn", "svnliteserve" instead of "svnserve" etc.) Most people probably would use this for the...
