What do you use to securely store and manage private #SSH keys?

#Linux #BSD #FOSS #security

Earlier this year, I developed "ansible_jailexec", a modern Ansible connection plugin that can manage FreeBSD Jails via jexec from the host (incl. transparent file copy into the jails filesystem). All released under a BSD license.

That way, you can automate FreeBSD Jails via Ansible, even when they have no ssh or network connectivity.

On Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/ansible_jailexec

On GitHub: https://github.com/chofstede/ansible_jailexec/

The connection-plugin comes as a single python file (jailexec.py) and comes with Unit tests and internal safety checks.

Maybe someone finds it useful Happy automating 🙂

Good morning Fedi friends!

Earlier today I installed #DeltaChat to give it a try... and I'm currently flashing the #YunoHost disk image on a card for my #RaspberryPi5 - so I can write about the process.

Super grateful for the world of #FOSS ❤️​

Have a great day everyone!

Happy throw-away-your-perfectly-usable-computer-due-to-arbitrary-CPU-restrictions day! Anybody manage to save any by installing a real OS on it? I did, even if it was only one.

Does anyone in the EU (or elsewhere?!) have links to any case studies about migrating from Microsoft to #opensource / #libre / #FOSS that include actual financial figures?

Is anyone else tired of the internet’s doom spiral over #Google blocking the installation of unsigned APKs? Yes, it’s concerning. I use #GrapheneOS and rely on F-Droid, so I care about this. But I’m seeing wild takes that PCs will soon have locked bootloaders and #Linux will be outlawed. That’s… a stretch.

The concern is real, but catastrophising helps no one. #FOSS isn’t going away, and panic only fuels paranoia while giving Big Tech ideas. I expect people to push back, I certainly will. But right now it feels like we’re manifesting a self-fulfilling prophecy.

⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

🚯 No More Markdown 🚯

Well, it's certainly not going away any time soon, but it doesn't have to be the default. While it's easily a majority of the docs formats that I have to use, it's not my favorite.

Perhaps in an ideal world it would be AsciiDoc or LaTeX _All The Time_, but we don't live in that world, oh well 💋

In the interim, here's someone who wrote about the topic which seems worth sharing. Interesting points, ja?

Basically, a love letter to #FOSS and the #Fediverse… with room for improvement (especially on the hardware front)

This is what #FOSS promises to be, and it does feel nice to actually do it.
