Posts from 2016
Year five of my blogging career meant writing about various topics such as compression and version control. I did not deliberately choose BSD-related topics, but my interest in these systems simply never vanished after I had started exploring them. And so 2016 saw me getting deeper with articles on dual-booting, an overview of the four major BSD systems as well as Vagrant and Bacula on FreeBSD. It was an interesting time when I also wrote about comparing Linux and BSD: Regarding documentation differences in one article and eventually in general. The year ended with a well received article about using TrueOS as a daily driver for 3 months.
This is a honest review of the new TrueOS operating system (the successor to PC-BSD) after using it for some months. I talk about both the good and the bad parts of it.
In this post I describe my journey from Linux to (Free)BSD - and back to Linux (on the desktop) again.
This post shows how to create a pool as well as how to control jobs, change flags and purge volumes.
Part four of this series details a restore, shows how to set job defaults and discusses jobs, volumes and pools.
This post deals with splitting the configuration and writing some custom resources before doing a backup again.
The second post shows how to make all daemons communicate to each other and introduces bconsole - a utility to control the director. A configuration problem (done on purpose) will be debugged and a first backup be made.
An introductionary post about Bacula: What parts does it consist of? How to install and run it? What does the configuration look like?
This post details how to prepare a VM for use with Vagrant, gives some tips on customizing and optimizing it and walks you through creating a base box from it and testing that.
What is Vagrant? And how to set up a VM with VirtualBox that can then be turned into a Vagrant base box? A beginner-friendly introduction.
There are four major BSDs - what sets them apart and who might be interested in which one?
I wanted to go online using WLAN and a FreeBSD box. No idea how to do it and I only have the manpages! Can that suffice?
This post discusses the three generations of version control systems and what their characteristics are.
This post provides a very general introduction into the world of version control.
The previous topic revisited: This post shows how to install FreeBSD on ZFS for the encrypted dual-boot setup. It also discusses EFI and why it's not easily usable in this case.
This post discusses setting up a dual-boot system with FreeBSD and OpenBSD with full disk encryption for both operating systems.
This article is about Precomp a pre-compression utility that can assist in compressing already compressed data.
I passed the final exams for "Computer Science Expert" and look back on the apprenticeship and how I managed to slip a bit of Linux and *BSD into the nearly Windows-only daily grind!
