@massizana89 grazie 😉

@shlalon Yes, I perfectly understand your point. Samba can be a good choice, there. Also consider that illumos based OSes natively support SMB on ZFS, so this is another option.

For a use case like yours, I'd go with Samba on FreeBSD or native SMB on illumos.

@grahamperrin @emaste @ifreund @thismarkp @FreeBSDFoundation @_bapt_ @cperciva @dch @bsdimp totally agree! Thank you!!!!!

@catavz yes, this helps

@joel 😱😱😱😱😱

@FediFollows I will, and I'll do it as @admin

@roguefoam thank you!

@FediFollows @FediTips that's a good idea! I'll probably do it tomorrow or in the coming days. Thank you!

@FediFollows @admin as the first birthday of the project is approaching, it's probably time to add some more new countries.

@FediFollows @admin thank you for mentioning FediMeteo!

@shlalon hello! I use Samba when needed, and it's ok. It can solve many problems. When possible, I prefer other solutions (like NFS). But Samba is ok.

Tomorrow will be a particular day.
Some good energy is needed

Quoting Colin Percival's official annoucement:

FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE Announcement

Date: December 2, 2025

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. This is the first release of the
stable/15 branch.

Some of the highlights:

* The FreeBSD "base" system can now be installed and managed using the
pkg(8) package manager (see "Packaged base system" below).

* The FreeBSD 15.0 release artifacts (install images, VM images, etc.)
were all generated without requiring root privilege.

* FreeBSD now has a native inotify implementation, simplifying
directory watching and software porting.

* OpenZFS has been upgraded to 2.4.0-rc4.

* OpenSSL has been upgraded to the latest long-term support (LTS)
version, 3.5.4, which includes support for QUIC and now standardized
quantum-resistant algorithms, ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA.

* OpenSSH has been upgraded to 10.0p2 which includes support for
quantum-resistant key agreement by default.

For a complete list of new features, supported hardware, and known
problems, please see the online release notes, hardware compatibility
notes, and errata list, available at:

Packaged base system

A major change in FreeBSD 15.0 is the introduction of a new method for
installing and managing the base system using the pkg(8) package manager.
During development, this method was commonly referred to as "pkgbase".

During installation, bsdinstall(8) prompts the user to choose between two
installation methods:

1. Distribution Sets (Traditional Method): This is the method used in
previous FreeBSD releases. Systems installed this way continue to use
the freebsd-update(8) utility for updates. Support for distribution
sets is planned for removal in FreeBSD 16, but will continue (along
with freebsd-update support) for the lifetime of the FreeBSD 15
stable branch.

2. Packages (pkgbase / New Method): The base system is installed as a
set of packages from the "FreeBSD-base" repository. Systems installed
this way are managed entirely using the pkg(8) tool. This method is
used by default for all VM images and images published in public
clouds. In FreeBSD 15.0, pkgbase is offered as a technology preview,
but it is expected to become the standard method for managing base
system installations and upgrades in future releases.

#FreeBSD #RunBSD

@macer Yes, possible and reliable. The BSD Cafe Mastodon instances are running on FreeBSD: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/

@0x1eef Yes, it does: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/11/23/installing-mastodon-on-a-freebsd-jail/

@TomSeppert they solved quickly - as they usually do. Good!

@subnetspider yes, more or less this way: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/07/02/install_freebsd_providers_mfsbsd/

@Tionisla evocative and peaceful. I love it.
