I settled on a Fujitsu Q920 with 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD. Runs FreeBSD 14.1 and each service has its own Jail.
Services:
DNSmasq - local DNS and adblocker Wireguard Navidrome MPD - Media server Vaultwarden - password save Radicale - cardav and caldav server TinyRSS - RSS aggregator Zabbix - server and service monitoring Postgresql Gitea - git repository Emby - jellyfin alternative Mariadb Bhyve VM with Debian running 2 apps (invoiceplane and leantime) which use a quite old php version and I never had time to port to Freebsd.
A second machine that starts daily and creates a backup of machine 1 by using ZFS autobackup.
Nothing fancy but it does what I need.

That's one of my dilemmas. Due to using BSD and relying on jails I have a hard time using lots of possibly nice apps being released nowadays because they only offer the docker way of installing.

Most likely corner of Rondo ONZ. Office building popped out there like mushrooms in the last 10 years. Warsaw has changed so much since I moved there 12 years ago. Definitely worth visiting.

My feeling is that there is. I think it all started with the speed I can login over ssh. Debian always seems to have a short delay but FreeBSD feels instant. When it comes to rating FreeBSD as a better OS for servers I may be biased as Debian has served me so well over the years. I was never a Docker fan but instantly liked Jails for isolating services. Then we have native ZFS support which simplifies my backup needs. A simple zfs send | zfs receive and you have an exact copy of your service instance on a remote node. Everything feels integrated and not stacked. Again, just a personal opinion.

Yes yes yes. It's great to see other FreeBSD fans here with the same opinion.
I was using Debian as a server OS for more than twenty years with short escapades to other distros but then I discovered FreeBSD and there was no way back. ;)

I'm a long time user of Debian myself too. No cutting edge fuzz, just a working, stable OS all of the time. What else do you need for a server? It always did the job.
But then I stumbled on FreeBSD, and man, that's a server OS. Simple design and blazing fast. No Docker but I never liked it anyway. My Docker is called Jails and in my opinion is they're superior. Service isolation on the next level.
On my laptop? Debian due to hardware and software support. And I'll stick to that for now. I feel home on that distro.
I can't say anything about OpenBSD as I never tried it but it sure is a perfect fit for a server as well depending on your needs and preferences. BSD just rocks!

I was debating between getting myself a NAS or some PC to setup my homelab. I decided for a PC as it gives me more freedom to install and personalize it the way I want.
At the moment I'm running FreeBSD with jails on a Q920 with an i5 processor, 16 GB of RAM, one internal SSD with 512 GB and 2 external USB SDDs with each 1 TB which costed me around 300 Euros.
Seems more than enough for the services I want to provide to myself which are the following.
Navidrome > serves all my music locally and remotely.
Zabbix > to monitor my servers
DNSMasq > ad blocking and local dns
gitea > repo for code and other docs
Transmission > torrenting
Radicale > webcal and webdav
Photoprism > local photo gallery
Vaultwarden > Password manager
SearXNG > search
HAproxy > to serve my public content easily to the web
Mastodon
Emby > local media server
And I run a Linux VM on bhyve to serve 2 tools that I was not able to make work easily on FreeBSD.
Besides that, the node replicates some data from my VPS as a backup solution.
And I can't complain at all. That PC is doing its job just fine. No need for any rack that uses huge amount of electricity.

Same here. I'm using mainly FreeBSD on my servers so docker is a no go due to lack of support. I have to stick with Photoprism for now as it offers a install without docker and it does the job for me. Anyhow, I'm not happy with the trend that most FOSS projects today limit the deployment on docker and do not offer a way of a plain install on you *nix system of choice.

Thanks for the tip but I'm not sure why I would choose a desktop client over Navidrome itself. I usually have the browser open anyway. But maybe I'm missing something useful by using an actual app?
sundaylab 9 months ago • 80%
I settled with Navidrome. It solves 2 use cases for me. Due to being web based it can be used by any PC or mobile device with access to my server. Additionally it supports subsonic which allows me to use a native android app (ultrasonic) and have music on the go. I don't use services like Spotify.
sundaylab 9 months ago • 100%
Nice one. Downloaded and will try it soon. Using Ultrasonic at the moment so eager to see differences between the apps. Happy new year by the way. ;)

I jumped onto the FreeBSD train a year ago and needed some virtualization tool for my job. A started using bhyve and must say that I am quite happy with it and don't plan to move to any other tool soon. Not sure how it compares to other tools performance wise but it does the job for me.

10 albums will take about a GB in size. Do you only listen music and then replace it with something new? My music library has grown to about 450 GB over the years. Mind you, I don't use streaming services so everything I may want to relisten must be local.

Great work! I still haven't found the time to revisit bastille. I guess I'm just to lazy to make the jump from iocage but with all these improvements it's about time for me. How easy is it to migrate my jails to Bastille from iocage?

It's exactly that what makes you learn. Trying to create a user, adding them to a group. We all started like this.
Try to setup a little webserver that serves a wordpress site. You will have to install all needed applications and modules to make it work including nginx, mysql database, php and so on and configure some of those services using a text editor. Stuck? Use Google or DuckDuckGo like i do to get answers.
Little by little you'll get there.

If I would have been asked to choose one really useful piece of software on Windows it would be Agent Ransack. I use it to find strings in a bunch of files, even compressed ones. I believe it can do much more but I use it for this purpose on daily basis. There's a paid version but the light one is free and does all I need. https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/

In Spain they will immediatelly ask you if you are sick. Only sick people drink tea there, or english tourists, but they will usually go to english bars anyway. In those places they will serve black tea and ask you if you want it with lemon or milk.

So wurde mir das auf allen Kanälen beigebracht hat sich aber bei mir nicht bewahrheitet. Klar hat mich Covid nicht umgebracht aber der Verlauf der Krankheit war der gleiche nach der Impfung. Hatte es nun vier Mal. Drei Mal nach der Impfung und der Verlauf war immer der gleiche, ausser der vor 2 Wochen der etwas kürzer war.
sundaylab 1 year ago • 50%
Ok. Die Kosten haben nicht direkt mit der Wirkung zu tun. Ich habe hier das Thema gewechselt. Bei mir ist el halt so das ich oft genug infiziert wurde auch wenn ich mich an alle Regeln gehalten habe. Nur glimpflicher war der Verlauf nicht, nur das letzte Mal vor 2 Wochen was ich aber nicht auf die Wirkung des impfens zurückführen kann das es schon über ein Jahr her ist und ich danach noch 2 Mal COVID hatte.

Entsxhuldige aber ich wohne nicht mehr in Deutschland also kann ich da nicht direkt mitreden. Aber das alles teurer wird ist ja schon klar und ich denke das solche Ausgaben indirekt dazu beitragen.

Ok. Es kann sein das ich mich nicht im guten Deutsch ausgedrückt habe. Ich bin zwar hier geboren aber dann mit 11 wegen der Eltern ausgewandert. Wenn man aber etwas tolerant ist und den Text ganz durchliest, sieht man ja das ich mich geimpft habe, bin also kein Antivaxer.
Zu Deinem Punkt das der Verlauf der Krankheit milder ist wenn man geimpft ist. Leider kann ich das nicht bestätigen da der Verlauf bei mir immer der gleiche war. Hatte es nun zum vierten Mal und nur diese letzte Erkrankung war kürzer. Und es war nicht die die ich nach der Impfung bekommen habe.
Wie auch immer. Die Skepsis ist nun da ob es wirklich einen Unterschied macht ob ich mich nun nochnal impfen lasse oder eher nicht. Muss ja verständlch sein aber viele schieben dich dann gleich auf die Konspirationsschiene.

Genau das Kommentar das ich erwartet habe. Na dann mal viel Spass beim impfen und Corona als Zugabe. Wird sich zwar nicht negativ auswirken aber helfen wird es auch nicht. Als Steuerzahler zahlst Du ja sowieso dafür, also besser impfen lassen, genauso wie für die 100 Millionen übrig gebliebenen Dosen die der Staat dann überteuert gekauft hat und danach wegschmeissen wird weil es wohl abgelaufen ist oder der Impfstoff für die nächste Covid-Variante nicht mehr genutzt werden kann. Dann kommt dann wieder das Gejammere das die Steuern wieder angehoben wurden/und jeder fragt sich warum.

Ich bin kein Impfskeptiker und habe mich auch damals impfen lassen aber da ich danach wie auch gerade wieder mit Corona infiziert wurde werde ich mich von weiteren Impfungen fern halten. Dann halt krank für ein paar Tage.

This is really sad to see. More and more food banks will be needed for the ones to come. Any idea of what can be done to end this? A change in goverment does not seem the answer. We had so many and it's getting worse every year, and not only in the UK.

Here another bit of proof that something was way off. Not sure if you have ever seen this video from BBC. I did, live as I was in Spain at the time and the bar I was at had BBC on all day. In a few words, the collapse of WTC 7 was announced before it actually happened. So, that day you just see it and believe what is said. How should I know that WTC 7 is actually in the background. I'm not from New York. But you see that video later again with comments that in fact it is still standing and you ask yourself, what else is a lie in that whole story.
Please watch and ignore the comments as they do not add any value to it but it's the only one I could find straight away.
Anyhow, this and all other stories, articles and analysis I have been reading over the years make me believe that the whole story is a big lie and it was in fact an inside job.
Some call me a believer of conspiracy theories but I just think this is my truth. It does not change my life nor does it impact me deeply beside all new laws and rules that have been passed due to it which I have to life with but we all have to. It is the past and I only brought it up due to reading this post.
sundaylab 1 year ago • 100%
If you like it or not, this is my believe after seeing countless videos and reading about it. Planes hit the WTC? True. Commercial planes? Maybe not. What nobody seems to be able to explain is the speed of the collapse. Nearly free fall, no resistance. Can you explain it to me?
sundaylab 1 year ago • 100%
Yes, we know the names of the people that died and we found the passport of one of the hijackers on the ground close to the towers. How convenient. As I asked others, explain me how the towers came down so fast. Free fall, no resistance. Buildings only collapse like this with a controlled demolition which confirmes to me that the story they gave us is not true. Pentagon, WTC 7 collapse due to fire?
Hi all. I was wondering if somebody tried or managed to deploy a Lemmy instance on a FreeBSD machine. When looking at the Lemmy repositories it seems to me that docker is a requirement. Or am I wrong? I recently moved all my sites and services to FreeBSD and have no Linux based VPS right now but still would like to run a Lemmy instance. Thanks a lot for any help / clarification.
Just wondering if anyone has tried or managed to run a lemmy instance on a FreeBSD jail. I have had a look on the repository and docker seems to be required. Or am I wrong?
