Freebsd
Some time ago, I set up Redundant DHCP server and DNS Resolver using OpenBSD . Time has past and one of the Raspberry Pi board I own is now running FreeBSD while the ODROID HC4 is running OpenBSD .
I secured both my DHCP server and DNS resolver services running on those boards so that I can perform maintenance on one machine without turning down the whole services set.Continue reading...
Not convinced lately with OpenBSD on this board , I went searching for another BSD OS to run on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. According to the documentation, FreeBSD should do fine.
Let’s have a look.Continue reading...
I’ve been lurking on the PINE64 ROCKPro64 for a long time but its price compared to other options has always kept me from buying one. But being very happy with my ODROID HC4, I went hunting for a ROCKPro64 and found one.
I have (a small) ZFS NAS plans for it. But before I get all the hardware, let’s take a quick look at it running various BSD systems.Continue reading...
Not so long ago, I experimented on so-called Generative AI using an external eGPU and Slackware Linux .
Because I’m a BSD fanboy, I started looking at doing the same on FreeBSD. But I faced a lot of missing dependencies issues and Python compilation errors. As a non fluent Python person, I couldn’t solve all the errors I encountered and decided to see if the FreeBSD Linux Binary Compatibility feature would be able to achieve the goal; after all, there are people using it to watch DRM stuff from the Clouds.
Spoiler alert: it does work given an organized small amount of command line spells.Continue reading...
When it comes to running (Linux) Docker containers on BSD hosts, I usually end up popping an Alpine or Debian virtual machine with the Docker engine. But I read that podman was available on FreeBSD and able to run Docker containers.
Here’s what I learned, so far.Continue reading...
