Our new experimental OCI support continues with compatibility with podman-compose.yml.
The new `bastille up` sub-command will attempt to deploy OCI images from a podman-compose.yml file in the current working directory.
Check out the updated Getting Started page on the Bastille blog!
It's been revisited for FreeBSD 15.x and simplified to leverage `bastille setup`.

Happy Sysadmin Appreciation Day
To all the sysadmins quietly keeping the lights on, we salute you.
@FediThing FreeBSD (as well as OpenBSD and NetBSD) is a great Open Source Operating system. For many use cases, it can be even more efficient than Linux. This is an old post, but will give you an idea: it-notes.dragas.net/2022/01/24…
Also, have a look at this: it-notes.dragas.net/2024/10/03…
And, for any questions, feel free to ask. The hashtag #FreeBSD is usually enough to trigger a lot of friends 🙂
I Solve Problems
The slides, the video, and the text behind my presentation at EuroBSDCon 2024 and BSDCan 2025 - Why and how we're migrating many of our servers from Linux to the BSDs.Stefano Marinelli (IT Notes)
I was ill last week and discovered something uncomfortable: a huge Jellyfin library isn't entertainment, it's homework. Every time I opened it, it asked "what do you want?" and I just scrolled.
So I built a TV station instead.
ErsatzTV turns a media library into real linear channels with schedules and logos. It ships for Linux, Windows and macOS. My server runs FreeBSD.
Turns out the entire porting effort was one conditional. The code asked "is this Linux?" when it meant "is VAAPI available?" VAAPI is userspace, FreeBSD has it, and .NET has had OSPlatform.FreeBSD for years.
One || later: Intel hardware transcoding in a Bastille jail that can see exactly one GPU and one read-only dataset.
I now have a sci-fi channel. I don't know what's on tonight. That's the point.

Good morning Fedi friends.
I just updated this post from March. It used to say:
"Year 4 (2026)
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication"
Since I am fully invested in mesh experiments, I thought it deserved a refresh.
Spoiler alert: Year 5 will probably be about learning #FreeBSD 😅

My experience of the #fediverse : Year 1 (2023): It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms. Year 2 (2024): I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"...Elena Rossini 🌈 (Mastodon)
