Freedive

Dive into FreeBSD

Made by and for users of FreeBSD as their:

  • Home lab
    • Tailscale / Wireguard VPN
    • Manage PF rules (firewall)
    • Manage Jails via Bastille
  • Network attached storage
    • Samba shares
    • Backups via Restic
    • Manage ZFS datasets, snapshots and backups
  • Personal/ public web server
    • Manage domains and TLS certificates
    • Host static sites
    • Reverse proxy to any jail:port

Freedive works in immediate mode:

  • Queries host, caches some results in memory
  • No database except for acounts
  • Executes commands when actions taken in UI

Status: planning/alpha. You can use Freedive to manage system services. Package management coming soon. Other features will be developed as time/help is available. This is currently a hobby project and makes no guarantees about what features will be implemented and when.

Service commands

Develop

Clone the repository:

  • git clone https://brew.bsd.cafe/hiway/freedive.git
  • cd freedive

Install dependencies:

  • pkg install -U -y inotify-tools doas

Setup your own account to run commands as root without password:

  • echo "permit nopass <USERNAME> as root" >> /usr/local/etc/doas.conf

Start Freedive:

  • Run mix setup to install and setup dependencies
  • Start Freedive with mix phx.server or inside IEx with iex -S mix phx.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Registering accounts via browser is enabled in dev envronment.

Visit /users/register to create an account.

Then visit /dev/mailbox to confirm the account.

Now you can ue these credentials to log in and explore Freedive.

Deploy

Create FreeBSD package:

  • mix package

Copy package to target machine:

  • scp freedive-0.1.0.pkg hostname:

SSH to the tagret machine, use doas -S (or sudo -s) if required to gain admin privileges and then run:

  • pkg install -U -y freedive-0.1.0.pkg

Configure Freedive

  • $EDITOR /usr/local/etc/freedive/freedive.env

Set preferences in freedive.env

  • HOST="hostname"
  • BIND="ip-to-bind"
  • PORT=3443

Ensure that the host is set to whatever hostname you'll use to access the service from browser. For example, if you bind to the Tailscale/Wireguard IP, use the hostname that'll point to this IP. Port can be anything suitable in your environmet that's open and accessible from your mobile/laptop.

Enable Freedive

  • service freedive enable

Initialize Freedive

  • service freedive init

Create an account for yourself

  • service freedive account_create

Accounts have full access to every part of the system via Freedive, do NOT create accounts for people you do not trust to have root access on this machine.

Start Freedive

  • service freedive start

Check logs

  • tail -f /var/log/freedive/freedive.log

Visit https://hostname:port from your browser and log in with the account created above.
