freebsd

I've worked in Linux for about 12 years. I did work at one company with a handful of FreeBSD servers, but it was really rare I ever got to touch one. I'd like to be working on FreeBSD full time, but it seems those jobs are a lot harder to find. I'm waiting to see if this port I converted from...

Hello, a while ago I tried to install FreeBSD on my 2006 computer (which model is an HP Compaq 6720s) although I have a problem, and that is that when the installation starts, when I click "boot multi-user" or "boot single -user" then after those numbers appeared below the ASCII art, the screen...

With the release 14.0, I plan to switch to FreeBSD as my main OS. Unfortunately, some of the programs I use work only on Linux, so I will still have to boot to Linux from time to time. I am wondering how to structure my storage. In my notebook, I can place 4 disks in total, 3 SSDs (2 NVMe M.2 +...

Hello there. I'm using Pot (jail management tool) under FreeBSD, I cannot find jail startup sequence configuration in it. With raw, home-made Jails created by jail.conf, I had jail_list="sqljail phpjail webjail" and jail_reverse_stop="YES" in my rc.conf, however how to configure these in Pot...

Hi, I have successfully setup NAT on pf with this in /etc/pf.conf file: nat on wlan0 inet from 10.1.1.0/24 to any -> (wlan0) round-robin I am now trying to achieve the same what is available out of the box on VirtualBox - port forwarding. For example one of my Bhyve virtual machines is...

I have used certbot for many years and have never found a good configuration that I like that does auto updates. I am using wildcard domains with command certbot certonly --manual -d domain.com -d '*.domain.com' so the normal automatic update can not be used unless you use an additional script...

I have uploaded a CodeIgniter 4 website that's working perfectly fine on web hosting and local server into a FreeBSD server running with PHP, PHP-FPM, Apache, and MySQL. The virtual hosts has been set up to use the 'public' directory as the root. But when accessing the website via the domain...

What's the state of getting FreeBSD (or another BSD) to Atom-based 32-bit UEFI SoC PCs such as the Wintel W8? Or perhaps this could be something to work on since I think that many people are looking at such as home servers. The Android 4.4 that some of them have also seems pretty much redundant...

By way of background, I switched over all of my daily driver type computers to Linux Mint 21.1 Vera, from mostly MacOS Mojave about a month ago and I've been impressed with how well it has been going. I won't be going back (I'm sick of the "We won't allow you to install our software on your old...

Hi! Why? What happened with my FreeBSD? Tell me it's temporary. Or is it a problem that can't be fixed.

I purchased an Asus Aspire Switch 10 tablet / laptop with windows 10 yesterday and tried to install FreeBSD. I noticed there was no available 32bit efi in the installer. I have installed OpenBSD now using their 32bit efi with a 64bit install. Is there any way I can install to this hardware with...

Hello, I have a question. I would like to run a virtual machine in bhyve HomeAssistant OS. However, I would like this virtual machine to be on the same subnet as the LAN network (hq0). I used the following solution, but something is not working. The DHCP server is dnsmasq (the DHCP interface is...

Hello everyone, I've recently attempted to get FreeBSD working as my desktop OS, with moderate results (working, but not working great). Most of the problems I faced were related to hardware incompatibilities because I was using hardware that was too new / unsupported. Since I don't want to...

I have another problem. I have two networks (separated from each other, connected via VPN). One is a subnet 192.168.7.0/24 and goes out to the world through router 192.168.7.1 and external IP 7.7.7.7. The other is an external IP 6.6.6.6 and subnet 192.168.6.0/24. I have a FreeBSD router...

Hello, I have a request. I need to set up NAT on one interface. I am using two addressing schemes in one network: 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.8.0/24. This was done previously and I cannot change it at the moment. The router, which is based on FreeBSD, has an address of 192.168.2.1 and an alias on...
