Easy Jailing with The (PC-BSD) Warden

DateTuesday, May 26, 2009 at 11:25PM

I've been looking at a neat little program that is part of PC-BSD called The Warden. With this program is very easy to setup and manage FreeBSD jails. The Warden supports pre packaged software that can be installed into jails called Inmates. In this example I will be using the Joomla Inmate package that installs Joomla, Apache, MySQL and PHP in a short space of time.

Installing The Warden

The Warden is installed on PC-BSD via the PBI system. Once the The Warden .pbi file has been downloaded to the computer it is a simple matter of double clicking the file which will ask to be run as root. You would need to enter your root password so the package as permission to install and then click ok.

PC-BSD 7.1 Galileo Edition Review

DateFriday, April 17, 2009 at 12:40AM

PC-BSD 7.1 is a desktop operating system aimed at the normal user and is based on FreeBSD. It enables fast installation of software and getting a working desktop running fast. It can be installed as a Desktop or as a server, however I fail to see the point of the server install for a desktop OS.

It can be installed by dvd/usb or install via network and PC-BSD can perform a normal fresh install or system upgrade (Unable to test) can be selected in the system installer. PC-BSD allows you to install to these file systems:

  • UFS2
  • UFS2 + Soft Updates (default)
  • UFS2 + Journaling.

To test out the suitability of the desktop for a casual user I did not use the command line, except to gather information after testing.
