Poudriere is by far my favorite FreeBSD tool and one I use almost daily for stable, customized package management. Here's the step-by-step guide I made (for myself) to set it up.
People asked for this so I'm posting it (plus it's a great reference for me in case I forget!).
Let me know if I've missed anything.
The nginx part is optional but I'll leave that in here.
1. Install poudriere (obviously) and nginx (if you want to)
doas pkg install poudriere nginx2. Edit config
doas vim /usr/local/etc/poudriere.confZPOOL=zroot
ZROOTFS=/poudriere
FREEBSD_HOST=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org
POUDRIERE_DATA=${BASEFS}/data
CHECK_CHANGED_OPTIONS=verbose
CHECK_CHANGED_DEPS=yes
URL_BASE=http://localhost/3. Create jail
doas poudriere jail -c -j freebsd_12-0x64 -v 12.0-RELEASEdoas poudriere jail -l4. Retrieve ports
doas poudriere ports -c -p PORTSdoas poudriere ports -l5. Create port-list
doas vim /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/port-listaudio/lame
multimedia/ffmpeg6. Build the ports
doas poudriere options -c -j freebsd_12-0x64 -p HEAD -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/port-listdoas poudriere bulk -j freebsd_12-0x64 -p PORTS -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/port-list7. Nginx server block
doas vim /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf server {
listen 8000;
server_name localhost;
root /usr/local/share/poudriere/html;
location /data {
alias /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs/bulk;
autoindex on;
}
location /packages {
root /usr/local/poudriere/data;
autoindex on;
}
}8. Nginx log mime type
doas vim /usr/local/etc/nginx/mime.types text/plain txt log;9. Restart nginx
doas service nginx restart10. Configure repos
doas vim /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/poudriere.conf poudriere: {
url: "file:///usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/freebsd_11-2x64-PORTS",
mirror_type: "srv",
signature_type: NONE,
enabled: yes,
priority: 1
} FreeBSD: {
enabled: no
}11. Installing custom packages
doas pkg install -package-If package is already installed, reinstall with:
doas pkg install -r poudriere -f -package-12. Updating
doas poudriere jail -u -j freebsd_12-0x64doas poudriere ports -u -p PORTS13. Upgrading packages
Basically rinse and repeat Steps 5 and 6.
Done.
Some of the steps will depend on your situation (e.g. FreeBSD version, packages, enabling/disabling FreeBSD repo, nginx). Customize accordingly.
