OpnSense & ACME & NSUpdate (bind9 journal problem)

If you need to use ACME plugin to register certificate (by using nsupdate (RFC2136)), you could be faced on the problem below

You can try to ’touch’ this file, here “clucas.fr.zone.jnl”. Even if you change owner, permission (even 777), you will not ble able to make it work. You will be face this time on :

Proxmox and replacing disk in ZFS pool

For one time this blog post will not be around Telecom and Cisco/Juniper/Nokia or something like this.

Just to keep in mind how to replace a faulty device in a ZFS pool.

I have :

root@pve:~# zpool status -x
root@pve:~#  zpool status
  pool: pve-zfs
 state: DEGRADED
status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or
        invalid.  Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue
        functioning in a degraded state.
action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.
   see: http://zfsonlinux.org/msg/ZFS-8000-4J
  scan: resilvered 41.9M in 0 days 00:00:11 with 0 errors on Sun Jul 24 13:38:51 2022
config:

            wwn-0x50014ee2bd0cf6b4  ONLINE       0     0     0

errors: No known data errors

But how to replace this faulty device when all the howto on the net talk about replace/make offline the old disk… But in my situation I have made an RMA on the disk and don’t have mind to make the faulty device offline.

Bind9 as master DNS server, NSD as backup with TSIG.

Perhaps it seems easy for you, but it was not for me at begining even if I am running bind9 master/bind9 slave already.

We will begin with TSIG key, on your master DNS server :

root@Sagitarius:~# tsig-keygen mykey > /etc/bind/keys/mykey.key
root@Sagitarius:~# cat /etc/bind/keys/mykey.key
key "mykey" {
        algorithm hmac-sha256;
        secret "+OyXk+FYgsnE6Lei59Qi2LPsctRHPaqcYRpftG4YXKk=";
};
root@Sagitarius:~# 

Now we will configure this on my “named.conf.local” file as :

root@Sagitarius:/etc/bind# cat named.conf.local 
[...]
//On indique la clé à utiliser et son algorithme de chiffrement
include "/etc/bind/keys/mykey.key";

//On indique l'adresse IP du serveur "Esclave"
server 192.168.1.81
{
        keys { mykey; };
};
[...]
zone "my-blah-zone.fr" {
       type master;
       file "/etc/bind/my-blah-zone.fr.zone";
       allow-transfer { 192.168.1.81; key mykey; };
       notify yes;
};
[...]

Ok. last command :

FreeBSD, xrdp and Lumina-desktop

Hey girls and guys,

A little post to give you some news about my fails and tries with FreeBSD. I have had tried to install a little FreeBSD-13, xrdp and Lumina-desktop on my proxmox to test.

As done for other things installed :

pkg install xrdp lumina

It was so easy and quick …

FRR Routing v8.0 is out and happy to see SR

Hey,

For (perhaps) futur projet I read different documentations around Bird, FRR Routing, … and I am really happy to see in FRR Routing v8.0 the new ‘pathd’ daemon, which implement SR (Segment Routing). It is really cool to see this.

There is others new feature which have been implemented in this release and are major IMHO.

  • TI-LFA for OSPF and IS-IS (great too for SR) ;
  • VRF for OSPFv3 ;
  • EVPN full-implementation.

It is really great work !!!

FreeBSD and fail2ban

Hey,

To go on configuring my FreeBSD server, I install my traditionnal package : “fail2ban”. By the way with Linux distro, apt install fail2ban is enough.

Not now :D

You must add :

root@pluton:/usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d# cat ssh-ipfw.local 
[ssh-ipfw]
enabled = true
filter = sshd
action = ipfw[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp]
logpath = /var/log/auth.log
findtime = 600
maxretry = 3
bantime = 3600
root@pluton:/usr/local/etc/fail2ban/jail.d#

And edit action file so that “localhost” is your public IP :

Blog, bsd, apache2, certbot and fun

It was long time ago I used a FreeBSD system. I was really impressed by the way it great evolved. It is easy to add package due to “pkg” tool and “portsnap”.

After :

pkg install apache24 mysql57-server mod_php73 php73-mysqli php73-xml php73-hash php73-gd php73-curl php73-tokenizer php73-zlib php73-zip

I have a really fast install of an HTTP server as I can do with “apt-get”.

I have needed to load some modules by editiing /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf such as : 

Long long time ago, blog and FreeBSD...

It was a long long timeago I wrote here. ot of things happens to me but I don’t think it is the time and place to explain it.

This post is about a new experience to me : hosting this blog on FreeBSD machine. I am in love with BSD but don’t use it everyday. Networking&Telco is not an professional area where you can use it or your employer allow you to use it. Damn Windows, Teams, … and his egemony.
