[nikolay]

I have 13.1-release on a physical PC. I tried to set Nginx on my OS but failed. This is what i got

root@SOMSP:cd /usr/ports/www/nginx 
# make config-recursive
# make install clean

And another example:

root@SOMSP:~ # pkg install nginx
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: No SRV record found for the repo 'FreeBSD'

Is it because my freebsd version is outdated or i do something wrong? I did the same on my virtual machine where i have freebsd 13.2-release and the same commands worked fine. I am not good at freebsd so i would be glad if you help me with this. It is not a problem for me to upgrade my OS, i just want to know if the old OS is the problem here at all.

Is it because my freebsd version is outdated

13.1 is end-of-life three months after the release of 13.2, so yes, it's outdated. Don't have to upgrade to 14.0, upgrading to 13.2 is fine too.

FreeBSD Security Information

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.

www.freebsd.org

At the moment there are three supported versions, 12.4, 13.2 and 14.0. The entire 12 branch will be EoL at the end of the year. The 13 branch is still supported, and will be for a while (expected EoL of the 13 branch is 2026). So expect a 13.3 and even 13.4 to appear in the future. When 13.3 is released, 13.2 will be EoL three months later.

With all supported versions, only the last minor version of that major branch is supported.
