Michael W Lucas @mwl@io.mwl.io remote 4w Copy link Open link converted my #FreeBSD hosts to pkgbase, including some tiny VMs with 20GB disks. Why is are these disks full?Well, /var/db/freebsd-update was ~7GB. #sysadmin (Yes, most of my critical hosts are VMs on rented hardware, but these are offsite DNS and remote test nodes.)
dch @dch@bsd.network remote 4w Copy link Open link @mwl you can probably run pkg clean -a and get a bunch more free too from /var/cache/pkg.Nobody can afford to waste or buy storage these days.
Michael W Lucas @mwl@io.mwl.io remote 4w Copy link Open link @dch that's another 30gb across my jails, thank you!
feld @feld@friedcheese.us remote 4w Copy link Open link @mwl @dch all my jails have pkg configured not to cache the packages for this purpose, and I always mounted in /usr/obj and /usr/src when doing freebsd-update (mkjail does this for you)in pkg.conf:AUTOCLEAN = true;
dch @dch@bsd.network remote 4w Copy link Open link @feld actually yes I have this too. Because I run my own pkg repo, I don't bother caching its mostly local / within Austria or Germany anyway. @mwl
