On https://brew.bsd.cafe, I've configured and running it. Just download the latest release, unpack it and run "TAGS="bindata" make build" - It will compile and you'll have a working binary file (still called "gitea", but it's forgejo). Then, you can expose it the way you like it. Yes, you can almost follow the gitea guides, it's similar.
Comparative tests show FreeBSD's virtualization performance surpasses Proxmox, especially with NVMe drivers.

FreeBSD has many hidden gems, including native support for booting in read-only mode.

Thank YOU for your help!
I've converted it into png and replaced the banner. Could you please check if it's ok?
I've just installed the banner you provided. It's much better now. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! I'll have a look at it ASAP.
That's the point. People feel safe when using those closed, expensive, proprietary solutions but all they have is losing control of their own data
I'm glad you like it. Sure, this setup can be used for a general Nextcloud installation as well

At the moment, I don't think so. I think it's still in production without any update - but I haven't heard from them, recently. I will investigate :-)
This should become the default way from FreeBSD 15 - and that will be nice.
Yes, migrating to FreeBSD isn't strictly needed. But we're moving towards it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/01/24/why-were-migrating-many-of-our-servers-from-linux-to-freebsd/
I don't know...
Thank you!
You can try this, it should be working for you. If you prefer, there's also a FreeBSD version linked at the beginning of the blog post.
In 1996, with Linux. From 1998, I stopped using Windows. In 2002, I met the BSDs. After all these years, I am even more convinced that the only way to preserve data conservation, accessibility, and freedom is to manage and store them through open tools and protocols.
