Apropos "It doesn’t always have to be Linux - An intro to FreeBSD" 🙂

I've had Pi-hole running on Raspberry Pi OS for a decade (more?), but now I'm trying FreeBSD and AdGuard Home on a Raspberry Pi 4. A little bit apprehensive about the ufs file system, but let's see!

It's actually the same hardware as in one of my pinned posts, now running FreeBSD 15.1-STABLE.

Instructions etc. can be found in the WiKi:

Looking good, so far.

Since the Raspberry Pi doesn't have any RTC, I had to add the following to /etc/rc.conf:

ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES"

to get proper time for log entries etc.

@mjack I am very interested by this.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 B which is just sitting in a drawer right now. I will give it a go.
What version of OpenBSD are you using? From what I remember (but from a couple years ago, so it might have improved since), there is no all ready images of OpenBSD for the Raspberry Pi...

You'll need SD card, USB drive and serial FTL cable during installation, but after installation it only needs the SD card to run.

The official instructions:
