Installing #FreeBSD 14.1 using mfsBSD in Debian Linux is easy.
The hard part only setup the network and serial connection to xtermjs.
next, install #OpenBSD (overwrite FreeBSD installation). 😂

trying to install #FreeBSD in Linux based VPS (KVM) with no avail to activate internet.
I have set IP using manual static IP
`# ifconfig vtnet0 inet 103.45.54.45 netmask 255.255.255.0`
`# sysrc defaultrouter="103.45.54.1"`
`# service netif restart & service routing restart`
the result is still no internet connection. I don't know what to do. 😭
Because I caught covid the other day and my radius is at the moment a room with around 8m², so I won't infect my wife, who is treated for cancer, and looking out of the window watching the animals and the birds is nice for a time or so, I started to look for some distraction....
I got my aux notebook and thought I could play some retro adventure games.
I saw there's a fan sequel to broken sword called #brokensword25. It's completely free and is pretty decent so far. Even has voice acting. Some animations seem to be missing.
Anyway, it's a true nod in the direction of brokensword 1 &2, which were imho the best parts of the series.
The best thing it works fine on #FreeBSD (or rather #GhostBSD) using #scummvm
So now that neofetch is dead, what do you all use? #homelab #linux #freebsd #openbsd
This weekend I'm planning to make my self hosted #snac instance live and hopefully I don't unintentionally DDoS my own fibre connection. It's running in a #Bastille jail on my #FreeBSD server Beastie. I still have some customisation to do with CSS for the theme but I'm just interested to see how much load this'll put on my FTTP 1G / 110Mb connection. If all goes well I may well migrate permanently to my own hosted #ActivityPub server ? 🤔 #HomeLab

Did you know that #FreeBSD can run a lot of #Linux software directly (without running Linux in a VM)? The Linuxulator is a compatibility layer that provides an implementation of many Linux interfaces available to userland programs.
A client has leased a new warehouse. Very spacious areas. There will be four big offices and a huge storage area, but it turns out that this is the only branch covered by FTTH at 2.5 Gbit/sec. I conducted a site visit to manage everything. Considering the type of users, I decided to order:
- MikroTik rb5009 POE as the router (will power the access points)
- 5 Access Points (I opted for Omada EAP772 - one for each office and one in the storage area, which is distant). The ceilings are huge since it’s an industrial building, so even though the offices are stacked two by two (but in completely opposite areas of the structure), the vertical signal penetration is very poor. The office units will therefore be set to the minimum power and centered; there will be drywall partitions that won’t block the signal. I will configure them to also use Wifi7, but I don’t think any of their devices support it - at least they are future-proof, and the supplier offers them at an interesting price.
- Both servers will be based on FreeBSD. They have two Dell r630 in excellent condition, decommissioned from the previous headquarters, one with 256GB of RAM and the other with 512GB. The first will be equipped with some 2TB SSDs (already in their possession, also decommissioned from a previous setup), obviously using ZFS, and will serve as a virtualization platform for the necessary VMs and jails. Not many, at the moment - it will host Nextcloud, some Windows VMs, the Omada controller, and their CMR software. The other server will be nearly identical but will also contain spinning disks to aggregate backups from other locations, currently hosted on my servers.
I will configure the router to ensure that, in case of disaster, those from other locations can be easily reconfigured to connect to the VMs - which will be able to start quickly on this secondary server, collecting backups from their other servers in different locations every 15 minutes. Additionally, it will also gather backups from the other server in the same structure every 5 minutes. Thanks to ZFS send/receive. Of course, this secondary server will be located in a completely different part of the building, on another electrical panel.
I have already started with the configurations, having some of the necessary devices, while I can pick up the rest of the hardware from the supplier this week. The client is laughing because he sees me “chomping at the bit” to get everything up and running while the fiber suppliers are “sleeping.” It’s always like this! 😆

Running #Docker #Containers in #FreeBSD? Here we run #Debian #Linux from the Dockerhub directly in FreeBSD with #Podman and it works quite well!
In my case with #ARM64 images because my workstation is not #ADM64 :)
@Prma Is there are reason why you wanted to avoid using your machines with #Nvidia hardware inside for #FreeBSD? The Nvidia drivers for FreeBSD are solid.
So far everyone's responded with symlink, except for existing #FreeBSD installations. Haven't heard from my #OpenBSD or #NetBSD friends yet.
Seeking recommendations of pubnixes running either FreeBSD or NetBSD with public html, SDF aside.
Care to suggest one or two?
Next step testing #IPv6only operation in my local network, I wanted to give #dhcp "option 108" (IPv6-only preferred) a try.
I'm running #ISC #dhcpd on my #FreeBSD router/firewall, so I looked at the manuals:
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhcp-options
Ok, added "option option-108 00:00:00:00;" based on that, which dhcpd rejected 🤔
From finding random different examples for custom options and with some trial and error, I found I have instead to declare the option:
option v6only code 108 = integer 32;
... and then use it like this:
option v6only 0;
Ok, what's up with documentation here? 🙄
At least it works, verified on my phone running #Android 14. No #IPv4-address from my pool any more. Instead, 192.0.0.4 appeared, seems it automatically configures a #clat...
ok, bonus points #freebsd gurus: I moved my FreeBSD jails from Raspberry Pi to x86. This means my rc won't work
jail: reverse-proxy: exec /bin/sh: Exec format error
How can I "upgrade" an arm jail to a freebsd one? I can simply create a new jail and copy just the important bits, but there is a way I'd love to learn it.
