Hello all,

Glad to see that there is already a FreeBSD, and greater BSD, community already created on Lemmy. Although with 40 subscribers and the last post here being almost a month old let’s try and get this community rolling. To that end I pose the following question: What is your FreeBSD setup like?

For me I have a few FreeBSD boxes that I use. I have a general use desktop with herbstluftwm running where I do most non-work related things. I also have a small server that I use mainly for building a few ports that I maintain, and trying to get more into maintaining/contributing to other ports. I also have a Bhyve VM here running a dev version of PacBSD (kind of a defunct project sadly, but do intend to try and kick it off again). I also have a FreeBSD VM running on DigitalOcean which hosts my personal website and runs ZNC (toying with the idea of replacing this with a Matrix <-> IRC bridge as I experiment more with Matrix). I also have a FreeNAS box where I store most of my media (Music, TV shows, Movies, etc) that I access either with NFS to play locally on another box or through Emby.

    A mix of all three, although time isn’t too much of a constraint atm I don’t have very open source friendly hardware (mainly because of my NVIDIA graphics card) and also I do not have a spare drive to set it up on either. I also kind of wanted to get proficient in linux before I started branching off into smaller (and more pure) unix systems on bare metal so I haven’t been particularly rushing to get it done.

    It’d be my dream to have a bunch of small drives with small OSes like BSD, Haiku, ReactOS, and others with a boot switcher but from my understanding thats impossible at the moment and very time consuming.
