Shifting from #Proxmox to #Sylve (on #FreeBSD + #bhyve) including #Ansible automation! When talking about open-source virtualization platforms, Proxmox VE is probably one of the first solutions that comes to mind. It combines KVM virtual machines, LXC containers, storage, networking and clustering behind a convenient management interface. But what if you want to build the same kind of environment on FreeBSD? This is exactly where Sylve becomes interesting! gyptazy.com/blog/sylve-freeb…

@BoxyBSD Returns to #FreeBSD: Migrating from #Proxmox to #Sylve! Some journeys don't end where you expect them to. Sometimes they bring you right back to where everything began, only with a lot more experience and a much better ecosystem waiting for you. gyptazy.com/blog/boxybsd-mov…

I hope this doesn't bother you at all...

I always missed it - so I wrote it: #bhyve (for #Sylve) Prometheus exporter on #FreeBSD Still very basic but already fulfills at least my personal needs for @BoxyBSD

#FreeBSD cloud image and static #IPv6 only setups are still not the best friends - which still annoys me very much because of the required workarounds at my @BoxyBSD project. If I also dig down here, I can probably extend gyptazy.com/how-my-boxybsd-p…

Last week, I relaunched the new @BoxyBSD website for free VPS instances based on #BSD systems in a much more modern style and features: * Two VPS instances * Geo-Shifting I'm still working on the dashboard, I'm not a designer ;) #FreeBSD #OpenBSD #NetBSD #BoxyBSD #RUNBSD #IPv6

We successfully finished step 2 in Frankfurt. Step 3 is coming soon 👀
Our network is expanding rapidly! After establishing connections with @CogentCo & @libertyglobal we have added additional PYRUS DDoS Protection appliances to our PoP FFM01 at Digital Realty with a total capacity of 800 Gbps. Stay tuned for more updates! 🚀

When your free service (@BoxyBSD) kicks you out of bed on a Saturday morning. The monitoring just alerted me about a potential abuse at my free hosting project and indeed - much traffic from a single user but luckily legit traffic. Better safe than sorry.

You often asked me to implement something like #DPM in #ProxLB for #Proxmox clusters - and it's becoming real! Of course with some safety guards ;) #virtualization #ProxmoxVE #PVE #opensource

I always focused on #BSD based systems @BoxyBSD but maybe it’s time to open it up to other systems like #Linux where you could run & test #Debian #RockyLinux or even #Proxmox.
