Steam Servers on FreeBSD

Sorry if this is on the wrong board, feel free to move it if so.
Does anyone have experience with steam dedicated servers on FreeBSD? I imagine it should work, but just wondering if anyone's had luck with it.
 
I had an Arma 2 dedicated server running on FreeBSD through emulators/i386-wine. It ran quite good, a lot better than I expected and good enough for me and a few friends. Arma 3 didn't work at all, couldn't get it working. Even the Linux dedicated server refused due to the Linux Emulation being based on CentOS 6. It really needs something that's based on a recent Debian/Ubuntu. As I was running this on a VPS I couldn't use bhyve, so I ended up getting a VPS running Linux.

It's probably going to be a hit and miss. Some older games may work using Wine. If they've got a Linux dedicated server you might want to give it a try. But any recent games probably aren't going to work, unfortunately.
 
Yeah, I'm most likely going to start with TF2, which works pretty damn well across different distros in my experience, so it should be ok.
