I'm currently working on adding some FreeBSD support to my crazytrace program.
I rely heavily on Codeberg's Woodpecker CI - unfortunately, however, this CI doesn't support FreeBSD.
But BoxyBSD was kind enough to provide me with a second VM, where a FreeBSD Woodpecker agent is now running, giving me a private FreeBSD CI for my projects.
It seems to be working very well.https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-CI/feedback/issues/297
https://ci.codeberg.org/repos/13147/pipeline/313/3
https://codeberg.org/mark22k/crazytrace/src/commit/a28170353e40918f7a64c6a00e1a91adad70ea22/.woodpecker/build-freebsd.yaml -
I finally got a @BoxyBSD VM today. The installation using the ISO went smoothly.
However, writing firewall rules in pf instead of nftables still takes some practice.
I hope I’ll be able to port and test my crazytrace program on FreeBSD. -

Guys, does anyone have an invitation code for #BoxyBSD?
I see in their FAQ:
> Each user that singsup has one code to share with friends or within the community

On Thursday, @gyptazy provided a talk about #BoxyBSD at the "Virtualization Gathering" at @credativde.
@gyptazy provided some more information about the BoxyBSD project, but also about the history and infrastructure including the switches of #FreeBSD #Jails, #bhyve and #Proxmox (#kvm). Afterwards, additional information about the #Sylve project were shared and why this is so important and interesting and could make BoxyBSD return to bhyve based #virtualization.

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!
BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.
You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.
This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!
This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!
While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.
We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.
During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

This is the way, a remote OpenBSD:

While most of you are already using BSD operating systems, i just wanna share a thank you note to @gyptazy for helping and giving something back to the community:
His https://boxybsd.com/ project.
The layout of the boxybsd.com site, inspired me to copycat/plagiarize, and build a similar one for fun and testing purposes. https://cybersec.runbsd.io/
Because, reminds me of lynx/links browsers and mutt/pine mail clients from the good old days. -
⚠️ News/Changes:
BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos
Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

So there's

and
https://github.com/gyptazy/manpageblog
Thank you @gyptazy for sharing this.Just love the whole look 'n' feel of it.
So i'll be adapting something similar to meet my needs. Something simple, like an unix man page. Easy to read and navigate.
Later on throughout this evening. I'll be back, soon. Stay tunned.

Hello to our friends in Singapore 🇸🇬!
We’re happy to announce that we just opened up a new POP in Sin1, SG to come even closer to you! What does it mean?! IP-Space in Singapore including GEO objects & lower latencies in your area 🥳
Thanks to Route64 and @gyptazy !

Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳
While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.
This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe (@stefano) could be an approach.

So this is where my peeps at!
Hello everyone, my name is Børge and I am happy to get back into the BSD world, though only for personal projects for now.
I was a sysadmin for a small telco a while ago and we used Solaris/SPARC and FreeBSD/i386 for our servers, while I tried my hand at OpenBSD for my personal server. The network was all Cisco at the beginning, with some Juniper equipment for peering at the end but I did not get any experience with those unfortunately. I do have a certificate in SS7 somewhere, the signaling protocol telcos use for voice calls, but have forgotten pretty much all of it.
These days work is "cloud everything", which all seems to be based on Linux-something.
Reminiscing of "the good, old days" I wondered if I could run a BSD server anywhere to tap into my sysadmin background a little, or if I would have to use some Linux distribution.
Searching for BSD hosting providers, I am very happy I discovered #OpenBSDAms which I use for OpenBSD hosting (obviously).
Then I came across #BoxyBSD where I was lucky enough to get a FreeBSD instance.
Last but not least I came across a cheap VPS provider where I could run NetBSD. I don't mention the provider because I'm not sure I can recommend them yet.
I've been on Mastodon a little while, mostly reading as there is so much of interest to find here, though also because I'm quite shy, but hope to maybe post something about what I do now and then.
I really like all the *BSDs, they just do things in a way that seems sensible to me, so being here feels a lot like coming home.
So that's me a little about me. #introduction

As you can see in the screen cap the project has grown beyond just a one-man show

The #BoxyBSD project is taking a pause from provisioning completely free #vps instances / #vserver. For further questions, reach out to @gyptazy or in our Matrix chat.
After publishing the new self-service portal and making it easier to use and get a free VPS instance, we got a lot more new users who requested an instance than usual. We’re not out of resources but we want to provide a great and reliable service and have a buffer for upcoming things.
We’re already restocking the resources and adding new nodes to the project but temporary stop provisioning new instances. In the meantime, we will provide new services that will make the overall experience for users much better and easier.
We already started this with the new #NAT64 gateways and the new free #loadbalancing service that allows you to serve your website also on #IPv4, even your box is #IPv6 only.
We’re addicted to the #BSD community and hope to provide your quickly more #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD and all the other bsd based systems again. In the meantime - have fun and #RUNBSD

We just added a free #loadbalancing service to #BoxyBSD!
This new feature got added by @gyptazy in addition to the newly introduced #NAT64 gateways to make your life easier and is currently tested with a few users! This provides you the ability to make your website also reachable by #IPv4 even your box is only running on #IPv6. This feature can be managed from your self-service portal and simply requires you to add a DNS name that should be balanced and to point the DNS A record to a given IPv4.
Making the legacy internet life easier, we hope for a higher #BSD adaption where people might be more motivated to try #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD or even #opensolaris with #illumos.

Talking about new images at #BoxyBSD for your free VPS instances, we now also have #MidnightBSD 3.2 in place!

Good morning #FreeBSD, #NetBSD & #OpenBSD fans!
The #BoxyBSD service is live for quite a while and it got a little bit silent - things just run and work. Are you missing anything?
Do you have any wishes that could help you to boost up your personal knowledge or your opensource project?
