Arch breaks if you don't update it for a few weeks 😂

IT-concepts are so big and large by number and complexity, I don't want to start all over again every couple of months

I need systems which grow as long I keep them

Of course, I tested Arch on CLI, also

and Suse Tumbleweed

Yes in the BSD world there is no change in how stuff works If you learned something 10 years ago it can still be done today using that way

All crap in direct comparison to the BSDs

I need systems which grow as long I keep them

That's why I chose freebsd over linux for my homeserver

Go and google "Daniel Seuffert klärt auf" together with "FreeBSD" or "OpenBSD" as a YT-video

Ok

He has some strange humor, but what he was saying then also convinced me that there isn't anything better than the BSDs

yep, in such times of globalization and a lot of changes; rush of times; BSD is setting up a clear message: stability, and no playground for big changes like Linux

I found 'openbsd vs linux'

I think thats it

direct comparisons what makes the BSDs great

this video was an absolute eye opener for me

Search Robonuggie and iBSD on youtube for BSD source videos

I think thats it

It's from Daniel Seuffert, isn't it? I found it on Yotube

He's also not bad!

Yes. Daniel Seuffert. I also watched many Robonuggie-Videos. Also good, as you said.

Do i need swap if i have 32GB of ram ? xD

If you use laptops then yes you need it. Use swapfile.

Uhm i just hit the start installation and now that happened What is going on there?

Wow after a long time its now fetching packages I don't think the installation will work

the machine does not find a boot device

Uhm i just hit the start installation and now that happened What is going on there?

oh that's strange

i will try it again now

same error

could the sata cable be broken?

could the sata cable be broken?

it may

ok i now changed the sata cable as well as the ssd lets see

ok hope it will work

cross fingers

xD

Xd

Yes. Daniel Seuffert. I also watched many Robonuggie-Videos. Also good, as you said.

Dell lap runs FreeBSD 12.1 Xfce :)

Ok its working now :D

after changing the ssd and sata cable freebsd bootet and installed without an error

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 cool

how should i format my hdd and mount it ?

should i create a zpool for it?

should i create a zpool for it?

I would go with Auto ZFS

I would go with Auto ZFS

ok how can i do that?

ok how can i do that?

Normally, after starting the iso , directly during the installation process; otherwise I guess via terminal later on. But I'm not sure, how and if it's right :/

ok so i just created a zpool

i now have 2 zpools one zroot with my ssd and one called 'nas' with my 4tb iron wolf pro

where is the best place to permanently mount the 4tb hdd in the filesystem?

i guess bsd has an /etc/fstab like linux has

i guess bsd has an /etc/fstab like linux has

Yea

OK i did it

I have now mounted it to /nas I'm not sure if it is a good idea to directly mount the nas drive to the root filesystem But I guess its OK

I just saw that no mountpoint except the swap partition is listed in /etc/fstab Is that normal under BSD?

yes, actually

There's no reason to question doing that. If it feels good for you, put in / whatever you want.

It's your computer and it's your / so feel free.

OK :)

It's your computer and it's your / so feel free.

a good statement 😊

I'd recommend not doing that at work though, people will love to find things where they expect them to be. But for your own use, why not.

A thing which I dont like is that pkg pulls a lot of X dependencies for vim I just installed it through ports now and disabled all X related stuff Problem is that I have to rebuild that stuff for vim updates

There's a package called "vim-console"

vim-console-8.2.0491_1 Improved version of the vi editor (console only)

There's a package called "vim-console"

Oh

6 MiB No deps Perfect thx

Should I create another user for ssh and disable root login?

Should I create another user for ssh and disable root login?

I personally don't see much of a reason to disable root ssh logins, but I would disable password logins and use public key authentication exclusively.

You should create a normal user account to work with on your machine anyways, but that isn't really related to SSH.

ok

can someone tell me what the best way is to setup plex media server? It is recommended to set it up in a jail but how can i do that?

jails are all about a concept: copy deps at the root folder and try to resolve every problem. I recommend ldd, tracing software and some googling about errors plus jailing keywords. I don't know if for BSD also, but for other OSs there're programs doing ti automagically.

Ok

just a joke: if in doubt, copy the whole system hahaha

Lol

hahaha

Just rebootet after trying to optimize network speed using the calomel guide This bootup really takes time I have to disable the btx timeout 😂

do it always safely: step by step and trying, if you commit a mistake and you don't check it then you lose time and probably get frustrated.
