Introduction This guide explains how to Build Grafana Dashboards for FreeBSD 13 on FreeBSD 13. FreeBSD uses the pkg(8) binary package manager, rc.conf(5) for service startup configuration, and pf(4) as its primary packet filter. There is no SELinux or AppArmor — instead, FreeBSD provides the MAC (Mandatory Access Control) framework and Capsicum for fine-grained privilege […]
Introduction FreeBSD 13 is a UNIX-derived operating system renowned for its network stack performance, ZFS integration, and Jail isolation primitives. Setting up configure geli disk encryption on freebsd 13 on FreeBSD 13 follows the rc.conf/service(8) paradigm rather than systemd, which means enabling a service and configuring its startup options are done differently from any Linux […]
How to Configure Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V Discrete Device Assignment Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) is a powerful Hyper-V feature in Windows Server 2016 that allows a physical PCIe device to be passed through directly to a virtual machine, bypassing the hypervisor for I/O operations. The guest VM communicates with the device hardware as if it […]
Introduction How to Install InfluxDB on FreeBSD 13 is a core administration task for any FreeBSD 13 server operator. FreeBSD 13 ships with the 15.0-RELEASE kernel, ZFS as the default root filesystem, Capsicum capability sandboxing improvements, and an updated ports tree. Unlike Linux distributions, FreeBSD uses rc(8) for service management, pf for packet filtering, and […]
Introduction This guide explains how to Install MongoDB on Debian 9 on Debian 9 Stretch. Debian Stretch uses systemd for service management, nftables as the underlying packet filter (with ufw or iptables front-ends still available), and AppArmor for mandatory access control. Every command is designed for a minimal Debian 9 install with the standard repositories […]
How to Monitor MySQL with Percona Monitoring and Management on RHEL 7 Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free, open-source platform for monitoring MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. It combines Grafana dashboards, Prometheus metrics collection, and Query Analytics (QAN) into a single integrated UI. Unlike generic monitoring tools, PMM understands database internals and surfaces […]
Introduction How to Set Up a CI/CD Pipeline with Drone CI on FreeBSD 13 is a core administration task for any FreeBSD 13 server operator. FreeBSD 13 ships with the 15.0-RELEASE kernel, ZFS as the default root filesystem, Capsicum capability sandboxing improvements, and an updated ports tree. Unlike Linux distributions, FreeBSD uses rc(8) for service […]

How to Monitor Windows Server with Prometheus and Grafana on Windows Server 2016 Prometheus and Grafana form a powerful open-source monitoring stack widely used in both Linux and Windows environments. Prometheus is a time-series metrics database that scrapes exporters at regular intervals. Grafana is a visualization platform that queries Prometheus and renders dashboards. On Windows […]
