UPDATE
Decided to stick with 15.1-RELEASE for my home server.

Looking to try the Sylve virtualization manager, and noticed:

"Although we list support for FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, we strongly recommend using -STABLE with pkgbase... That said, if your use case requires maximum stability and you do not need the latest features or bug fixes, 15.0-RELEASE should work perfectly fine."

https://sylve.io/getting-started/

Perhaps switching to -STABLE will be OK?

Hmm...

@tubsta @Unsightly3055 Just look at #Sylve as Proxmox replacement in #FreeBSD

A beautiful environment for bhyve and jails for example.
Not to foget the ZFS base for the installs. Super stable

Sylve doesn't try to be another Proxmox. It embraces the FreeBSD way of virtualization.

Some install notes on Sylve / FBSD15:

1: networking? Used the same IP as the host for now
Works flawless

2: Installed Blocky in a jail.
Works fine, no issues. Low in resources

3: Databases postgres and Mariadb (in one jail)
Mariadb: enable and start.
Porstgreql: added sysvipc in the config
service postgresql initdb worked fine.
The allow options are not fully distributed in the option screen, config to the rescue

I got convinced and setting up a standalone server with Freebsd 15.1 as virtual instance server
Besides the ones I have.

Install was a bit chunky because I needed wifi for that moment but the ax201 is well supported once the hotspot was online

This one gets Sylve a jail and bhyve management environment.
Migrating as much as possible from Proxmox, at least thats the plan

@thezerobit you should take a look at sylve it's a dream for super easy jails and VM management on freebsd and just a

pkg install sylve

away from use.

@armin I can understand. I hope #sylve will keep the pace and release often.

Has anyone installed Sylve on a system with jails (bastille) as well as a configured Samba already present?
Did it do anything to those configs?

Wrote a follow-up on how I added 3 backup options to my #FreeBSD + #Sylve NAS.

1. ZFS send/receive over SSH 📡 🛰️
2. Time Machine of Apple MacOS on a Samba share 🧑🏼‍💻
3. Rsync of UFS filesystem 💾 👍

I hope it helps somebody.

I just did a cursed thing.

Running ChimeraLinux Live base image under Sylve in a bhyve VM on FreeBSD that's running inside a VM on a OpenMediaVault (Linux QEMU/KVM) Installation

Why has nobody told me about this before? It is easier to manage jails and VMs in multiple FreeBSD servers with this web app.
