bookmark_borderAccessing a FreeNAS Jail via SSH-Tunnel

If you ever need to remotely access an application running inside a FreeNAS jail, you can create an SSH Tunnel to the server and map the local IP Address and port of the jail with

ssh -L JAIL-PORT:JAIL-IP:LOCAL-PORT user@host

As an example, let’s say you can access your FreeNAS server via ssh with user@domain.com, the jail IP is 192.168.1.10 and it is running an application on port 8080.

To create the tunnel, you would use

ssh -L 8080:192.168.1.10:8080 user@domain.com

Once the tunnel is up and running, you can access the service locally with localhost:8080 🎉

Who hasn’t spend a lot of money and time on arcades during childhood? What about build one and play all those games again?

Mame Cabinet

Browsing the web I found that a lot of people are building their own machines, building over a pc running a MAME emulator with a cool front-end. If you google images for ‘arcade cabinet‘ you will be amazed by what people are doing!!

I decided then to build my own, trying to use as much used stuff as possible, like a old computer, old screen and two usb game controllers that were broken but with the electronics hardware in perfect conditions. The cabinet will stay on the hackerspace from my town, TARRAFA HACKERSPACE, so we can set some championships, it will be fun for sure!!!

On this post, I will be giving updates on the progress (not much will be done during university semester, I hope to finish this project on holidays).

Finally it’s here, my first Open Hardware project, in which I have delayed some years to release due my lack of time to finish it and make it presentable.

For this project I’ve created a Project Page, in which I will be updating in a regular basis.

So I want to invite you to take a look at the
OPEN HARDWARE MOODLAMP PROJECT PAGE.

It’s finally here, a document that will help us to define what Open Hardware is, and to spread the idea. Open Software have been around for a long time, Open Hardware is still beginning, but already have a really big community out there, including me. I will add the logo to my next projects for sure!

Now, to move forward, please HELP:

This is a very important step in propelling our movement forward. PLEASE FORWARD FAR AND WIDE.
