@countZZero https://github.com/nicolargo/glances I ditched Linux (almost completely) when the death CentOS was announced. And I don't regret a minute of it. Its been a nice journey meeting devs in the community who tend to be the kindest nicest people in tech.

@matuzalem

Wow, thanks for the link! I'm going to have another look at BSD, I think.

@countZZero https://www.theregister.com/2024/10/08/switching_from_linux_to_bsd/ Stefano is one amazing human.

Between 2001 and 2005, I had a FreeBSD box as a file server. It sat in a closet humming away quietly all that time. When I moved in '05 it was the last thing shut down. When I looked at uptime, It had never been restarted. Not once.

@countZZero FreeBSD is love. 💕 I have a ton of DNS servers that are perpetual machines. They do get updated to avoid malware but they never fail.

@countZZero This is the kind of content I came here to read ;)

@matuzalem

Amen.

@matuzalem

Just read this. Boring is in fact good. No flashy crap, just good ol' stability.

@countZZero I am about to attempt to do this: https://gyptazy.com/run-linux-containers-on-freebsd-14-with-podman/ I need to run a few linux only docker container apps and maybe this could be the missing link, otherwise I have to create a new Alpine VM ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@matuzalem

I'd be interested in how all this goes. Post your results.

@countZZero I got podman running:

@countZZero I also got linux mariadb working

podman run -d --replace --name nginx-db --os=linux --network nginx-proxy-net -p 3306:3306 -v ~/nginx-proxy-manager/data/mysql:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=matu1234 -e MYSQL_DATABASE=nginxproxymanager -e MYSQL_USER=nginxproxymanager -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=matu1234 docker.io/jc21/mariadb-aria:latest
