We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!

While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like , , (or even ) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.

We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.

During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)

    ⚠️ News/Changes:

    BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of , , , , but also of some other niche systems like

    Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

        Did you notice? The registration was temporary open today and we welcome all new users! 🥳

        While we still have a plenty of free resources, we might switch from an open registration model to a recommendation / mentor model where already present users can invite new users.

        This is not yet fix but a possibility to avoid misusage and abuse where our primary goal is still to provide resources for people interested into BSD based systems. Maybe also closer integrations with BSD communities like the BSD Cafe (@stefano) could be an approach.

          So this is where my peeps at!

          Hello everyone, my name is Børge and I am happy to get back into the BSD world, though only for personal projects for now.

          I was a sysadmin for a small telco a while ago and we used Solaris/SPARC and FreeBSD/i386 for our servers, while I tried my hand at OpenBSD for my personal server. The network was all Cisco at the beginning, with some Juniper equipment for peering at the end but I did not get any experience with those unfortunately. I do have a certificate in SS7 somewhere, the signaling protocol telcos use for voice calls, but have forgotten pretty much all of it.

          These days work is "cloud everything", which all seems to be based on Linux-something.

          Reminiscing of "the good, old days" I wondered if I could run a BSD server anywhere to tap into my sysadmin background a little, or if I would have to use some Linux distribution.

          Searching for BSD hosting providers, I am very happy I discovered which I use for OpenBSD hosting (obviously).

          Then I came across where I was lucky enough to get a FreeBSD instance.

          Last but not least I came across a cheap VPS provider where I could run NetBSD. I don't mention the provider because I'm not sure I can recommend them yet.

          I've been on Mastodon a little while, mostly reading as there is so much of interest to find here, though also because I'm quite shy, but hope to maybe post something about what I do now and then.

          I really like all the *BSDs, they just do things in a way that seems sensible to me, so being here feels a lot like coming home.

          So that's me a little about me.

          How are you?

            Hi there, I'm Darryl from Malaysia, a systems administrator for a few decades..I started to get back into FreeBSD about a year ago..a friend of mine needed help setting up a new email server for personal use..and I decided to take up the challenge, brushing up my skills along the way..

            After looking at what solutions were available, I decided to go with iRedMail..

            Over the course of setting up iRedMail, my dormant interest started to grow more and more, thinking what could FreeBSD do now that it couldn't do back then.. overtime I grew passionate about this, started to explore other things, then landed on self-hosting which seems to be a big thing and decided to jump it..

            As of date, I have a few self-hosted stuff running where I solely maintain them..pretty fun stuff, then got to know about and it's community and decided to stick around and contribute there a bit and to my surprise, I was offered a VM from them 🙂

            The next thing I had on my todo list, was getting CLAT(464XLAT) to work on FreeBSD as I'm a big fan of IPv6 and try to use it everywhere I can as priority..then I discovered that there was a new maintainer for Tayga and decided to jump in..after a few back and forth replies I finally got it to work, on the instance I had 🙂

            I then set this up on all my v6-only VM's/VPS's and it's been working with no issues so far..

            Overtime I continue to fine tune things I already have, and find new things to learn/do..

            The community at large is pretty great, tons of people involved and it just continues to grow..

            That's all about me 🙂

              As you can see in the screen cap the project has grown beyond just a one-man show

              It is vital to understand that the project would not have been scaled in this manner & at this logarithmic rate, had it not been for important partners, who due to the power of the FediVerse, were quickly introduced to the project

              Did not only gave words of interest they actually contributed with giving server space to boxyBSD.

                  An insightful article was written by @gyptazy
                  If this is of your interest, and you take the time to read, analyze between the lines what has been said, you will learn a lot from this

                  If you are passionate about Proxmox like I am, you will love to read these kind of posts, because they've been systematically, logically and relatively simply formulated, so that it's digestible for the end user of proxmox all the way up to the diehard programmer who hacks in Proxmox code
