Host: FreeBSD jail host
Component: RACCT/RCTL + node_exporter textfile collector
Outcome: Per-jail RAM/VMEM/SWAP metrics in Prometheus/Grafana
Steps taken to make an imported ZFS/Grafana dashboard work correctly on FreeBSD. Panels assumed Linux exporters and referenced metrics that do not exist on FreeBSD. The result was a dashboard full of empty panels. This walkthrough shows how the missing ARC kstats where identified, cleanly exported and refactored so that the panels reflect the real FreeBSD kernel state.

This guide sets up zpool capacity metrics (zpool list) for Prometheus/Grafana using
node_exporter’s textfile collector on FreeBSD.
This complements (not replaces) zfs_exporter, which provides ARC/internal ZFS metrics but not pool capacity.
Metrics exposed to Prometheus:
zpool_size_bytes{pool="zroot"}zpool_alloc_bytes{pool="zroot"}zpool_free_bytes{pool="zroot"}zpool_capacity_ratio{pool="zroot"}These map directly to:

This document packages everything needed to install, back up, restore, and run Ungoogled Chromium inside a Bastille jail named chromey
in the JailFox style and more. After going through the process you have a jailed ungoogle-chromium with full video and audio support, emojis and fonts etc.
Just in case the chicken came before the egg, the process starts with a robust Home backup/restore flow so your profile/configs survive rebuilds. Then it walks through the templates, scripts, mounts, X11 fixes, and the launchers.
