I'd like to do the same, but am struggling with testing how to move the stuff I do in #docker over to something suitable in #freebsd15
Because some of the containers are not of my own making, I'm going to have to learn quite a bit to reproduce them and the security within them for #vpns etc.
I'm still interested in trying to see if #freebsd15 can be an option for me, but I'm also going through a handful of options in #linux with #systemd free distros and trying to stay away from the likes of #wayland and #pipewire also.
Current favourite is #artixlinux as they have made the effort to decouple the pid1 init system with additional packages for some of the daemon-type services. I like #dinit a lot, but am also testing #openrc too.

Our projects now officially support FreeBSD 15.1
FreeBSD 15.1 was released earlier today, and it provided security bug fixes and other general improvements for the whole FreeBSD system, which was an improvement over last year’s FreeBSD 15.0 release. One of the notable improvements were the inclusion of the updated Wi-Fi drivers that are now based on Linux v7.0 released this year.
We have earlier conducted our experiments with FreeBSD 15.1 and .NET 10.0, and our experiments have proven to be successful. So, we’ve decided to announce the below great news today.
Starting from the release day, we’re very excited to announce that we’re now providing official support for running our projects on FreeBSD 15.1! Those who are running our projects on FreeBSD can now obtain official support until March 31st, 2027, through our support timeline.

Upgrading FreeBSD PKGBASE system from FreeBSD v15.0 to v15.1
FreeBSD 15.1 was released today, and it brought some of the security fixes that were essential to keep your system secure, as well as introducing other improvements to the operating system to improve your user experience.
Our first test system was upgraded earlier to FreeBSD 15.1 BETA2 from FreeBSD 15.0, and it was using the EFI boot method that we’ve converted from BIOS using this method. Now, we’ve upgraded our second test system, which used to run FreeBSD 15.0, to the stable version of FreeBSD 15.1, and it’s using the UFS file system.
To perform this upgrade, we’ve followed the steps from the official FreeBSD documentation. Here’s our experience in upgrading this test system.
WARNING: The first step that talks about taking a recursive snapshot of the FreeBSD installation, which is sudo bectl create -r pre-15.1, doesn’t work with UFS. In our case, it immediately failed with libbe_init("") failed. If you’re running into the same error message, and your FreeBSD file system is UFS, ignore this error.
First, we’ve upgraded the package manager, which was essential to allow the upgrade to start.

Successfully updated my ThinkPad T480 to FreeBSD 15.1-RC1 
First impression: Solid release!
- WiFi (Intel AX210) stable on 5 GHz (802.11AC) with expected WAN speed.
- Graphics, Audio, USB-C Dock all working fine.
- Factorio Space-Age running perfectly smooth.
All running super well and without unexpected issues :-) Yay!
Upgrading FreeBSD 15.0-STABLE to 15.1-BETA2 (PKGBASE system)
Recently, an article about upgrading the FreeBSD 15.0-STABLE system to the 15.1-BETA2 version has been posted, because the PKGBASE system installations of FreeBSD are still in experimental stages. One of the biggest missing features is the ability to reliably upgrade the FreeBSD system to newer versions, such as from 15.0 to 15.1.
The release engineering team stated that this part was overlooked, and that they were working on it for PKGBASE systems. A solution has then been posted in the linked article, as discovered by vermaden, involving ZFS boot environments for those who are using ZFS on their FreeBSD installation.
https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2026/05/10/freebsd-pkgbase-minor-upgrades/
The solution above involved ZFS boot environments, administered by the beadm tool. The older freebsd-update tool had the ability to upgrade your FreeBSD installation to new minor releases, but the PKGBASE world didn’t benefit from this convenience. Therefore, we have adapted the solution to use the commands similar to what was listed in this message posted to the mailing list.
WARNING: Before you attempt to do this, please make sure that you take a complete backup of your system, in case something goes wrong during the upgrade. The steps were done on a test machine where no crucial data was stored, therefore, no ZFS snapshots or boot environments were made, so please proceed at your own risk. Beta software is unstable and may contain more bugs than the final version.
First of all, you’ll have to either use sudo or to log in as root. In this article, we have chosen sudo as it not only runs a single command as a super user, but it’s also a good practice in general to avoid logging in as root for everyday activities.
After that, make sure that pkg is up to date before you continue. You’ll need to run sudo pkg upgrade pkg to upgrade the package manager itself.
Once the upgrade of the package manager succeeds, run the below command to upgrade all packages from the FreeBSD-ports-kmods repository catalog.

Generating apropos(1) database for /usr/share/openssl/man... ===== Message from FreeBSD-local-unbound-15.1.b2.20260508031850: -- After upgrading local-unbound, the configuration file should be regenerated by running "service local_unbound setup" before restarting the service. aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ One last step is to examine and update the UEFI bootblock, assuming that the FreeBSD system is using UEFI as the boot method. Let’s confirm that the bootloader files have been updated in the /boot directory.
aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ ls -l /boot/*.efi -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 158720 May 8 03:00 /boot/boot1.efi -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 109568 May 8 03:00 /boot/gptboot.efi -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 665600 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader.efi -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13653 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader.help.efi -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 580608 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader_4th.efi -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 622080 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader_ia32.efi -r-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 665600 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader_lua.efi -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 521728 May 8 03:00 /boot/loader_simp.efi aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ total 656 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 665088 May 5 15:24 BOOTX64.EFI Now, we have the updated bootloader files, but the changes didn’t reflect in the ESP partition. So, we’ll need to manually copy the /boot/loader.efi file to overwrite /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, assuming that the ESP partition is automatically mounted via /etc/fstab (or manually sudo mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0p4 /mnt, assuming that da0p4 is the ESP partition) to /boot/efi. You can refer to our past article for more info.
Execute the below commands:
aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ sudo cp /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI Password: aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/ total 656 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 665600 May 10 21:51 BOOTX64.EFI Verify that the updated BOOTX64.EFI file has been copied to the ESP.
Once done, reboot the system using sudo reboot.
After that, verify that you’re running FreeBSD 15.1-BETA2:
aptivi@apt-freebsd-01:~ $ uname -a FreeBSD apt-freebsd-01 15.1-BETA2 FreeBSD 15.1-BETA2 releng/15.1-n283486-b3f9be4f9437 GENERIC amd64 …compared to what we had earlier.

Make sure that pkg is able to install packages afterwards. For example, we’ll install the rsync program in the upgraded system:
