Hi all, I've been setting up mail servers on FreeBSD and OpenBSD for a while and got tired of repeating the same steps every time, so I wrote a set of Ansible playbooks to automate the whole thing. mail-bsd deploys a complete mail stack from scratch with a single command: - OpenSMTPD — MTA...

Run Linux command line and gui applications on FreeBSD with full Nvidia Cuda hardware acceleration. I have also posted this in the how to section But that has comments disabled by default from memory mods i created another thread so people post comments and you dont have to approve them in...

Run Linux command line and gui applications on FreeBSD with full Nvidia Cuda hardware acceleration. https://github.com/NapoleonWils0n/freebsd-cuda Mounts the Linuxulator libraries from Freebsd into the Podman containers, so you dont need to install the Nvidia driver into the container...

Basically everytime I do "startx" it boots up KDE entirely fine, no problems. That WOULD be the end of it, BUT I realized that 149 usage in PERCENTAGE Is not okay for the cpu. Then I realized.. The GPU was at 0.00W. WHAT?? I thought I was using the GPU that entire time! I tried fixing it...

Freebsd Firefox Widevine for drm playback now working in a Rocky Linux Podman container No Nvidia driver installed in the Podman container works by mounting the Linuxulator directories for the Nvidia drivers from Freebsd to the Podman container Hardware accelerated video playback persistent...

I have internet connection using usb port. It says "io0”; I need internet do download GNOME. I can’t find answer to this. Female programmer. Its some kind of loopback connection.

Hello, I'm looking for a compact graphical view of the internal layers of FreeBSD. Searching over the net doesn't help me much ... I've this one below with stat tools, do you think it's relevant / right? This is related to a specific version or a generic BSD view? Do you have any pictures or...

Hi there, I am currently running TrueNAS Core 13.0-U6.8 on a server, the last version of TrueNAS with FreeBSD. Since this project is going in a direction I don't like, I decided to migrate my server to vanilla FreeBSD. :) The current setup is not very fancy, basically a file server exposing...

I'm building my first freebsd oci containers with Podman and so far the builds look good. Unfortunately FreeBSD is not supported on https://quay.io - do we just develop on DockerHub in the mean time or will there be an official FreeBSD container registry Robert

I have one storage device ada0 which does include several partitions. The laptop is a Lenovo T480. This is not my main laptop but my "testing lab". I have one efi partition on ada0p1 which has got Limine installed. The linux systems using this partition as the boot partition. The ada0p2 is my...

Using FreeBSD (or any other BSD for that matter) makes you too dependent on Linux libraries and Linux software that is poorly designed, bloated, and frequently without support for *BSD because it was dropped by LinuxBros. I actually think it would be easier from a maintenance standpoint, as well...

I know that all BSD operating systems do share a significant amount of code and some code is regularly imported back and forth. For instance, FreeBSD frequently imports some utilities (mtree) and manual pages from NetBSD. ssh from OpenBSD is effectively used by any modern operating system. pf...

FreeBSD is wonderful, but there are some blobs in the source. I have searched discussions about deblobbing FreeBSD, but the forums I've searched is very old. I tried to deblob FreeBSD's kernel myself, but it is challenging because of two reasons: 1. I found it difficult to check the licenses of...

Hi all! Could you share your experience and advice on how easy it is to develop and test C++ software for Linux using FreeBSD? I'm new to FreeBSD. What tools should I consider? I've read the documentation, compatibility tools, and virtual environments (jails). But I'd like to hear from real...

You, as people who know the difference between Linux and FreeBSD, what cell phone do you choose? Is it an Apple because it's a BSD derivative? But then it's proprietary, meaning you can't quite do what you want to do with it. Or is it Linux because it's at least open source and you can do...

Hello, I'm trying to implement backups on a FreeBSD system of the data it stores (user files, databases, etc.) using an LTO-9 magnetic tape drive... From what I've seen, there are two ways to use this drive: the traditional way with the mt and tar utilities, or the newer LTFS (the tape...

Hi It's been a while since I used FreeBDS or any other Unix flavor. I'm trying to install XFCE4 for a desktop and I have been following these web pages: 1. https://freebsdfoundation.org/resource/installing-a-desktop-environment-on-freebsd/ 2. https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/desktop/...

What I've managed so far is to mount the shares to the correct user folder (/home/foo/whaterver), but I can't read anything and unless I sudo (sudo cd, sudo ls, etc...which is super annoying too) and I can't access it from KDE. In the terminal I get Permission Denied. In Dolphin I get "Could...

With the upcoming changes in 15.0, and some of the major changes before, FreeBSD development seems lost. There are solutions being applied and thrown around, without a problem. I think that the rust-in-base, deprecation of longstanding base utilities, and the push for more "toe-in-the-water"...

What do you think the biggest major FreeBSD version release was, in terms of the amount of users its changes would impact (not counting dropped hardware), and the amount of changes it made? I am curious to see what people's experiences with prior updates were.
