[Announce] August 13th 2019 - MUG Meeting

[craig at decafbad.net]

We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the
Farmington Community Library.

 Topics Include:


 Twenty Years in Jail: FreeBSD's Jails, Then and Now

 Jails started as a limited virtualization system, but over the last
two years they've become more and more powerful. This talk takes you
through what modern jails can do, discarding the limits of what they
were and demonstrating what they can be today.

were and demonstrating what they can be today.

 We'll cover jails using the base system and the new iocage toolkit,
discussing:


            jails as VMs
            configuring the jail host
            properties and parameters
            jail management
            packages and upgrades
            base jails
            virtual networking with VNET
            firewalls in jails
            jails in jails
            resource restrictions



 You'll leave with an understanding of what modern jails can and
cannot do, and hints for future development.

 Michael W. Lucas (MWL) is the author of over thirty books and has
been using Unix since the late 1980s. His most recent titles include
"FreeBSD Mastery: Jails",  "Absolute FreeBSD 3rd ed.", "SSH Mastery,
2nd ed," "FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS," and the novel "git commit murder."
Five years ago, he talked to us about OpenBSD and nearly separated
poor Brian's shoulder. We make no promises as to Brian's safety
tonight. MWL's writing may be found over at https://www.mwl.io

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
