EuroBSDCon 2025 in Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷
September 25-28, 2025

First release:

I wrote an Ansible :ansible: connection-plugin to automate FreeBSD Jails :freebsd: via their host, by utilizing jls and jexec to run automation via a SSH connection to the FreeBSD host.

I released that on GitHub github.com/chofstede/ansible_j
And on my Codeberg: codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_j

Released under a BSD license.

This enables seamless automation of FreeBSD jails without needing a SSH connection to the Jails themselves.

Project reveal:

For the past couple of weeks, I was working on a modern Ansible connection plugin for FreeBSD Jails: jailexec.py

It utilizes the SSH connection to the host-system and jexec to execute Ansible automation within FreeBSD jails.

Makes it even possible to automate jails, that aren't reachable via SSH themselves (or even have no IP address).

Bonus features:

- Connection pooling and persistence for improved performance

- Efficient file transfer with proper permission handling

- Jail command execution via jexec with privilege escalation (doas/sudo)

- Comprehensive error handling and logging with multiple log-levels (-v -vv and -vvv)

After some polishing and testing, I will publish that under a BSD 2-Clause license on my Codeberg repositories and GitHub (Likely during the weekend)

🥳 New Kitten Release

To GNU tar or not to GNU tar?

• Installing Kitten on Linux should no longer display a screenful of gibberish from the tar command.

You see, macOS, being special, includes BSD tar, not GNU tar, and adds a bunch of Mac-specific metadata and extended header keywords to archives that GNU tar on Linux machines then chokes on and regurgitates onto your screen as warnings.

With this release, Kitten’s packaging script expects GNU tar to be available on macOS and uses that instead of BSD tar.

The latest release of Kitten now installs without any warnings on Linux (at least on my Fedora Silverblue box).

Enjoy!

Message in a bottle time again #GetFediHired (not a peep from anyone yet).

Growing desperate in search for (remote) software developer work in the #Ottawa #Montreal areas. #C C# #Erlang #Java #NodeJS #Shell #SQL #BSD #Linux #English #French and more. Very versatile, adaptable, experienced.

Hey! If its remote, its possible to work world wide too!

www.snert.comAnthony C Howe - Snert - Curriculum VitaeCurriculum Vitae for Anthony C Howe, Software Developer

I'm running 11 operating systems across my laptops & computers:
- Debian-Testing Gnome (my default)
- Linux Mint Cinnamon (my go-to)
- Ubuntu Gnome
- Fedora Mate
- SuSE Slowroll KDE
- EndeavourOS/Arch XFce
- Pop_OS Cosmic
- ElementaryOS Pantheon
- Haiku
- MacOS
- DietPi (navidrome server)

I wanted *BSD in there too, but it doesn't play nice as a partition (it prefers its own SSD).
