Looking for a how to configure Forjero on FreeBSD (in jail if possible)
Hi BSD community,
Just for fun I would like to give forgejo
a go, after looking at this post I noticed that it is available in ports so I wonder if someone has a link or a guide that shows how to configure it on FreeBSD or should I just follow a gitea
guide because forgejo
looks like it?
It will remain only on the LAN without being reachable from the internet, does the "not https" aka "personal certificate" will be a problem?
Thank you.

I use it too.

Comparative tests show FreeBSD's virtualization performance surpasses Proxmox, especially with NVMe drivers.
Since migrating many servers from Proxmox to FreeBSD, we have consistently felt that the VMs are more responsive. It's time to conduct some concrete tests.
FreeBSD has many hidden gems, including native support for booting in read-only mode.
Some help for a better banner
I noticed that other "subs" from blendit.bsd.cafe have actually a nice and good looking banner while our looks unfinished, there is a problem with the transparent background apparently. JPEG doesn't
play well with transparency.
So just in case I made the same banner but in SVG (which keeps the quality picture what ever the resolution) and changed black letters for red to make them readable even on dark theme.
Hope that can help a bit the admin to solve the issue we have here.
Thank you.

I'm reverting from Linux to FreeBSD
I have read the Rootless Root, and I testify that UNIX is the one true operating system, and FreeBSD is the implementation of UNIX.
Repeat after me:
There is no OS but UNIX. FreeBSD is the implementation of UNIX.

The History Of rc(8)
The FreeBSD rc(8) subsystem is a sensible & elastic services management framework which enables extension automation as well as customizable start/stop scripts for your services. It’s also deterministic - which means services always start in the same order every boot, a critically important feature ...
I recently added some improvements to my audio configs and settings on FreeBSD desktop. Each of these ideas is nothing special or groundbreaking – but they all improve usability of daily Free…
