Pot is a jail management tool that also supports orchestration through Nomad.

During the last quarter, pot 0.15.4 was released. It again contains a number of improvements like signing pot images as well as many bug fixes. Also, we welcome two new pot contributors: @zilti and @reezer.

Additionally, there is a new Ansible pot collection available.

Potluck aims to be to FreeBSD and pot what Dockerhub is to Linux and Docker: a repository of pot flavours and complete container images for usage with pot and in many cases Nomad.

As you can see, we had a busy quarter again, this time including improvements to the Nextcloud as well as Jitsi images.

Furthermore, we landed pot-based FreeBSD support for sccache-dist server (the server component for distributed compilation of rust and C++ using sccache) and it will be part of the upcoming sccache 0.4.0, see mozilla/sccache#1184. Once released, this will become available through devel/sccache.

This means one can build rust projects on FreeBSD targeting a cluster of machines, something that could potentially be integrated into poudriere as well.

Last but not least, Luca’s EuroBSDCon 2022 talk is now available on YouTube.

As always, feedback and patches are welcome.
