FreeBSD

In this tutorial I'll explain how to install the jwm window manager on FreeBSD.

In this tutorial, I explain how to install and set up Vaultwarden on FreeBSD.

In this tutorial I'll explain how to install Airsonic on FreeBSD.

Lets try how this FreeBSD community works :)

When running KDE on a Linux system there is a plasma-vault tool to allow easily creating encrypted directories using various encryption backends. Sadly it seems that plasma-vault is missing from the FreeBSD repos, including the latest repos.

Has anyone tried to build this for FreeBSD?

My FreeBSD Tutorials collection

I installed FreeBSD a few days ago. So far the experience is pretty good:

While it starts with a very minimal system, it's relatively easy to build it up to something "normal", in my case a KDE desktop.

The biggest change compared to linux I have to get used to is that the documentation seems often to be better than a search on the internet.

Case in point was my 60 minute effort fixing a DNS leak with my VPN:

After spending some time managing the openvpn connection and automating it on startup, I noticed that I'm leaking DNS...

Spent some time searching the net, until I found and followed 30.7.2. DNS Server Configuration in the handbook, which explains how to set the system DNS. After getting the public DNS from my VPN provider, and following the instructions in the manual, the leaks were gone...

I remember having chased DNS leaks in linux for weeks.... Quite happy so far :)

Looking into FreeBSD at the moment and quite like what I read so far. Looked for books and got this...

Thought the opinionated search engine was quite funny :)

Will still install it anyway... :P

With preformance gains of ~2x faster than FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE and OpenZFS 2.0 it is shaping up to be a great release.
