HardenedBSD Is Now Officially on Radicle

Source: Hacker News

Browsing the Repositories

You can explore our Radicle node at:

Current repositories (more will be migrated over time, with secadm likely next):

• rad:z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm – HardenedBSD‑src
• rad:z2XrdvALg77ycnuZRXgScb27yb3wM – HardenedBSD‑ports
• rad:z3QDZAW2FAfuLvihrhiyDC9fAD8G9 – HardenedBSD‑pkg

Configuration Tips

Radicle can be memory‑intensive for large repositories. To avoid performance issues, edit your Radicle configuration (~/.radicle/config.json) and set:

{
  "node": {
    "limits": {
      "fetchPackReceive": "3GB"
    }
  }
}

Steps to Connect and Seed

1. Connect to the HardenedBSD seed VM

rad node connect z6MknwwMpmZET1PcvQjPYhA6hGY7wkYzxb9YtSRh5j2qSQdG@rad.hardenedbsd.org:8776

2. Seed the source tree (repeat for the ports tree)

rad seed --from z6MknwwMpmZET1PcvQjPYhA6hGY7wkYzxb9YtSRh5j2qSQdG rad:z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm

• Monitor the temporary file ~/.radicle/storage/rad:z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm.tmp.
• When it moves to ~/.radicle/storage/rad:z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm, the source tree is stored locally. This may take a while—feel free to grab a pizza and a root beer.

3. Clone the repository

rad clone rad:z2HLHXgL1xevBNQsf8BmQW7MpJmtm

Thank you for your patience, support, and help. The integration is still a work in progress, and I’ll keep everyone updated as we continue to improve Radicle support for HardenedBSD.
