FreeBSD system version selection question

13.0 is going to be EOL very soon, so 13.1 would be a better bet.

MySQL 5.7 is going EOL October next year, so yes, MySQL 8 is probably a better bet to start new projects with.

But would recommend setting up a test server with FreeBSD 13.1 and MySQL 8 and seeing how you get on with your application/workload etc.

(If using PHP then PHP 7.4 is EOL November 2022, PHP 8.0 only has 1 year of support, so PHP 8.1 is the one to go for. https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)
 
For online projects, you need to install mysql8, and choose 13.0 or 13.1 for FreeBSD system version?

...install mysql and then choose what version of Freebsd to use. That sounds a bit backwards doesn't it.

For online projects you need... That all depends on what sort or projects and how you want to do them.
