This manual is based on FreeBSD 10.2/10.3. If you use an earlier version you must maybe start your jailname with a letter and not with a number.

pkg install poudriere ccache

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/ssl/{keys,certs}
chmod 0600 /usr/local/etc/ssl/keys
openssl genrsa -out /usr/local/etc/ssl/keys/pkg.key 4096
openssl rsa -in /usr/local/etc/ssl/keys/pkg.key -pubout -out /usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/pkg.cert

cp /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf

We adapt the config to match our server configuration using ZFS, edit in the file the following options:

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf

ZPOOL=zstorage
FREEBSD_HOST=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org
PKG_REPO_SIGNING_KEY=/usr/local/etc/ssl/keys/pkg.key
CCACHE_DIR=/var/cache/ccache

The filename of the following configuration files will be build by JAILNAME-PORTNAME-SETNAME (see here also man poudriere). For JAILNAME we used 103amd64 and PORTNAME and SETNAME we have not defined so we have the following files available for configuration:

make.conf
pkglist

Set some build options for the jail:

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf

DEFAULT_VERSIONS=php=7.2 mysql=10.3m bdb=6 ssl=openssl111 pgsql=9.6 samba=4.8
WITH_BDB6_PERMITTED=1
WANT_OPENLDAP_SASL=yes

OPTIONS_UNSET=DEBUG DOCBOOK EXAMPLES

DISABLE_LICENSES=yes
NO_LICENSES_INSTALL=           yes
NO_LICENSES_DIALOGS=           yes
LICENSES_ACCEPTED+=NONE

Define the ports we would like to build:

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/pkglist

Configure the options we would like to use for each port:

cd /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d
poudriere options -f pkglist

Reconfigure the options:

cd /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d
poudriere options -c -f pkglist

poudriere bulk -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/103amd64-pkglist -j 103amd64
poudriere bulk -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/110amd64-pkglist -j 110amd64
poudriere bulk -f /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/120amd64-pkglist -j 120amd64

poudriere jail -u -j 103amd64
poudriere jail -u -j 120amd64

Point your webserver to the path: /usr/local/poudriere/data if you would to also include the build reports. Or to the path: /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages if you only want to have the packages available. I use the following configuration for my apache:

/usr/local/etc/apache24/Includes/servername.conf

<VirtualHost *:80 localhost:443>
ServerName <servername>
ServerAlias <serveralias>
ServerAdmin <serveradminemail>

Define BaseDir /usr/home/http/poudriere
Define DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/poudriere/html
 
Include etc/apache24/snipets/root.conf
Include etc/apache24/snipets/logging.conf
 
Alias /data /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs/bulk/
Alias /packages /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/
 
<Directory /usr/local/poudriere/data/logs/bulk/>
  AllowOverride AuthConfig  FileInfo
  Require all granted
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/local/poudriere/data/packages/>
  AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
  Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
  Require all granted
</Directory>

 
Include etc/apache24/ssl/ssl-template.conf
#Include etc/apache24/ssl/https-forward.conf
</VirtualHost>

Make sure you copy the certificate to the client.

Create a configuration file:

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/poudriere.conf

poudriere: {
    url: "http://<servername>/packages/${ABI}/",
    mirror_type: "pkg+http",
    signature_type: "pubkey",
    pubkey: "/usr/local/etc/ssl/certs/pkg.cert",
    enabled: yes
}

Disable by standard repository by creating this file:

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

FreeBSD: {
    enabled: no
}

pkg update

To get an overview about the packages that are missing you can:

pkg update
pkg version -R | grep -v =

Compare with:

portmaster --list-origins | sort
