From Cloud Chaos to FreeBSD Efficiency
2
Looking for a how to configure Forjero on FreeBSD (in jail if possible)
  • 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.

  • 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

    Using VMs is a traditional and efficient way to separate servers but is it really needed when creating a FreeBSD VM on a FreeBSD host?

    That Old NetBSD Server, Running Since 2010
  • 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 :-)

  • FreeBSD binary PKgBase soon a reality ?
  • This should become the default way from FreeBSD 15 - and that will be nice.

  • Make your own VPN - Wireguard, ipv6 and ad-blocking included
  • 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.

  • How was your start into the open source community?
  • 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.
