Hey guys,
I don't have much experience with FreeBSD. However, I'm trying to run an instance of it on exoscale.com (cloud provider). They don't provide the template for FreeBSD (only for OpenBSD is available) to install from; but they do give an option to manage and upload your custom template.
To do so, I need to follow their documentation on custom templates. In that, their first prerequisite is --
1) Template image at FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64.qcow2.xz conform with the above mentioned prerequisite WITH "preallocation mode set to off" ?
2) What's the fastest way to for me to upload a template and be able to install it. I just want to deploy this on one, 512 MB RAM instance to try it.
I come from Linux background. I tried to read the FreeBSD handbook here, but its down currently?
