Nice, someone has written an updated #ZFS management module for #Webmin for #FreeBSD which really looks helpful. Its not only offering #ZFS managment, there is also #Samba, #PF #NFS and various other types configuration like #ACL management included, too. Wow!

With this, #Webmin is nearly feature complete. I'm only missing #Bastille or #Bhyve modules.

I've got a Lenovo M93p Tiny with 16GB RAM and a Haswell Xeon. It's a great little unit that I used to use as my Haiku build box.

I'm thinking about using it as a #Forgejo (and maybe eventually #Codeberg) Actions runner, with a handful of lightweight VMs (Alpine, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Haiku), each using no more than a gig or two of memory.

Does anyone have any tips on doing this? I'm guessing #Proxmox would be a good start, but I wonder if #FreeBSD with #bhyve and #BastilleBSD might also do a good job.

I've just finished with the last call of the day.
It's been nice. Talking with nice people is always a very good thing.

And another Proxmox server will be migrated to FreeBSD - bhyve

Looks like #bhyve backed with sparse zvols presents virtual NVME disks with 512b sectors, but ahci and vtbd with 16K sectors. Huh.

Same underlying storage, why change the sector size? #freebsd

#illumos on #ARM64 under #bhyve progress!

They’ve addressed a blocker on the illumos side but #FreeBSD needs some attention.

I’ll take a look but feel free to do the same if this interests you.
