At first I thought how strange it is that I do not seem to have a blog post that details how I setup poudriere on the same box that uses its output, but that was because a number of posts do not have a 'poudriere' label for them. I think that Poudriere for port update try seems to be what I need but I will work again at this setup and use that post as part of what guides me.
I have been having difficulties with porting software, more precisely, updating my unofficial ports of a few things, and this should be made easier if I had poudriere available to use once again. There are not enough useful errors related to both the build/compile itself but also for the FreeBSD makefile end of things. I can tell poudriere to do a bit more testing or scrutiny of things. This is primarily what drove my decision to setup poudriere, but since I should have a clearer step by step for setting it up, this will help me take notes, blog about it.
Before I even began searching for a blog post, I added poudriere via pkg. I could have built it from source but this takes quite a bit of time and the majority of the software on my present Ichigo box is via pkg. It wasn't very long since I updated the OS to a version of stable-15 after FreeBSD 15 was released, so I won't need to worry about being current enough, nor as in the other blog post have a conflict of versions of the OS used. I will use a slight change to the command from my distilled page, Poudriere quick tips because at the moment that describes updating rather than creating new.
poudriere jail-c -v stable/14 -a amd64 -j14 amd64 -b -m src=/usr/src
Above is what I eventually would use, but I realized that maybe I should modify the poudriere.conf file first, since there is a toggle for using ZFS, and it has also been a while since the last time I modified the configuration for my previous poudriere need. I checked the poudriere manpage to find out more about it.
FILES
POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.conf See self-documented
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf.sample
for example.
POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.d/poudriere.conf The configuration can be stored
in the poudriere.d directory as
well.
POUDRIERE_ETC/poudriere.d This directory contains various
configuration files for the
different jails.
I checked to be sure that the file was present and wondered about any local change, and chose to directly compare the two available files.

The changes to the configuration file that I have chosen to use this time are below, revisions on the left. Obviously since ZFS would by default be used, I could have already created the poudriere jail, but maybe its still better to have checked and possibly good that the decisions below were made ahead of the jails.

How things were to how things are now with relation to the poudriere setup of the build jail.

I am not yet decided whether I will be using a custom make.conf with poudriere though I can change my mind about this in the future with a symbolic link or a duplicate in the appropriate poudriere directory. One thing I do need to do, which I mentioned in the old blog post is to use the same /var/ports/db with poudriere as I would outside of it. Another old blog post described many of the steps I used to setup poudriere, including the two symbolic links. I show the same output here.
root@ichigo:~ # ls /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/ hooks jails ports root@ichigo:~ # ln -s /var/db/ports /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options root@ichigo:~ # ls -l /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Dec 9 00:41 /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/options -> /var/db/ports
Now it seems that I am finished with a fresh setup of poudriere. If you would like to setup poudriere for building on a local networked machine instead of the same machine via pkg repo, then read another previous blog post Remote poudriere build which tells how I did that. Attempting to port or update my unofficial ports should be easier with poudriere doing all the work, hopefully finding flaws in my efforts, and enabling me to cure any build or execution errors or failures.
