    Running FreeBSD 15 VM-Image on Proxmox? You might have noticed your cloud-init static IPs are being ignored. 😓The issue: Proxmox generates legacy cloud-init "v1" configs, but FreeBSD's new nuageinit tool only understands the modern "v2" format. The result is a silent fallback to DHCP (or no IP at all..).I wrote a shell script to bridge the gap. It runs on the host and generates a custom ISO with the v2 syntax FreeBSD actually expects.Read the full breakdown and grab the script: https://blog.hofstede.it/freebsd-15-cloud-init-on-proxmox-working-around-nuageinits-network-config-gap/#FreeBSD #Proxmox #SysAdmin #CloudInit #Virtualization

    Day two of using #freebsd again.The resolution of the wifi issue was as simple as pressing the enable radio button on the keyboard. Good thing I read the messages on startup this time.After quite a bit of struggle I've gotten wayfire going (with an old nvidia card no less). The other challenge I faced is while Sway or Wayfire would launch, I couldn't run anything. No foot, alacritty, no dmenu, wayfire's bar would crash, the swaybar had boxes for icons. This took me much longer than I would like to admit to solve.Somehow it's possible on Freebsd to install all of this and not install a font. in one sense I appreciate the modularity. Sometimes on Linux I've felt like one little tool brings with it an entire desktop environment and a GB of software. This might be on the extreme other end. Added doas, rofi, firefox and started tweaking the interface. I haven't figured out the startup splash screen yet, or how to launch sddm or something like it on startup. But that's coming.Back years ago I never had a computer that could run Compiz. So I get to relive some of those aspirations with Wayfire. The effects are neat without being terribly annoying. The laptop I'm using was made in 2008 or 2009. And quite remarkably it does not feel slow at all. The genie effect is faster than any Mac when the Dock had that option. The cube rotates smoothly.And most surprising, launching Firefox seems almost instant. I had a dozen tabs open and not a glitch, even watching a YouTube video and swapping screens with the cube effect.I think I've managed to get this working without introducing many Linux-isms or the Linux ABI. I use Linux a lot, but I wanted something a bit more purely BSD for this machine.

    @stefano, I just watched the recording of Patrick Hausen's @EuroBSDCon distributed storage session and at the end of the session somebody said you might have compared #SeaweedFS with #Garage and that you found SeaweedFS more suitable. I know that you blogged about running SeaweedFS but I wasn't aware you compared different #S3 platforms, if you indeed did, would you mind sharing your experiences?#FreeBSD
