Dummy file to be able to build on FreeBSD

[slegrand45]

Hi,

Without this dummy "truststore_freebsd.go" file, i get these errors if i try a build on FreeBSD 14.3 / Go 1.21.13:

./cert.go:143:16: ca.installPlatform undefined (type *CA has no field or method installPlatform)
./cert.go:156:105: undefined: NSSBrowsers
./cert.go:157:13: undefined: CertutilInstallHelp
./cert.go:158:89: undefined: NSSBrowsers
./cert.go:160:126: undefined: NSSBrowsers
./cert.go:161:81: undefined: CertutilInstallHelp
./cert.go:172:102: undefined: NSSBrowsers
./cert.go:174:13: undefined: CertutilInstallHelp
./cert.go:175:157: undefined: NSSBrowsers
./cert.go:176:89: undefined: CertutilInstallHelp
./cert.go:176:89: too many errors

After adding this file, the build is ok and i am able to build symfony-cli. So i can install API Platform as described here : Getting Started With API Platform with Symfony

I guess this is really a workaround but, at least, i'm now able to use symfony-cli on FreeBSD 🙂

thank you for initiating this.

FreeBSD and Linux support might be relatively close in term of support so we should be able to extract part of truststore_linux.go to truststore_posix.go and make truststore_posix built for linux and freebsd.
@fabpot WDYT?

It's been a while since I used FreeBSD (and never as a desktop) but I think it has NSS support (at least I find it in FreshPorts). In such case we should try to mimic linux support and update this with the appropriate NSS install command.

If it can help, the FreeBSD NSS port installs all these files: pkg-plist

installing a custom certificate on FreeBSD seems to be done /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert/ and then run certctl rehash

[slegrand45]

There is no /usr/local/etc/ssl/cert/ on a FreeBSD default installation. But if you install the ca_root_nss port, you get the following files:

/etc/ssl/cert.pem
/usr/local/etc/ssl/cert.pem.sample
/usr/local/openssl/cert.pem
/usr/local/share/certs/ca-root-nss.crt
/usr/local/share/licenses/ca_root_nss-3.108/LICENSE
/usr/local/share/licenses/ca_root_nss-3.108/MPL20
/usr/local/share/licenses/ca_root_nss-3.108/catalog.mk

Hi,

Thank you for your comments. FWIW:

• The utility certctl is included in the FreeBSD default installation: source

• On a FreeBSD default installation, with no ports installed (other than Go), the command symfony-cli server:ca:install succeeds:

You might have to enter your root password to install the local Certificate Authority certificate
The local CA is now installed in the system trust store!
Generating a default certificate for HTTPS support                
 [OK] The local Certificate Authority is installed and trusted

and it creates the following files in my home directory:

/home/stephane/.symfony5/certs/rootCA-key.pem
/home/stephane/.symfony5/certs/rootCA.pem
/home/stephane/.symfony5/certs/trusted
/home/stephane/.symfony5/certs/default.p12

If i can do other tests, feel free to ask. My mid-term goal, ideally, would be to add symfony-cli to the FreeBSD ports tree.
