Comparative tests show FreeBSD's virtualization performance surpasses Proxmox, especially with NVMe drivers.| IT Notes
Proxmox develops powerful and efficient open-source server solutions like the Proxmox VE platform, Proxmox Backup Server, and Proxmox Mail Gateway.| Proxmox
A few days ago, coinciding with the update to FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE, I encountered several servers that were operational, stable, and efficient. These servers hosted a number of service jails and, primarily, several VMs managed with bhyve. The VMs, mainly FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Linux, are stable and efficient. Each has its own IP address and is designed for specific functions. However, I had a realization: it makes sense for Linux and OpenBSD, but what's the point of having FreeBSD VMs within F...| IT Notes
In 2010, one morning, a client called. My task was to set up a new complex server within a tight two-day window. Given the constraints, I opted for my top choice at the time for such tasks: NetBSD and Xen. To my astonishment, over 10 years later, the server was still up and running perfectly| IT Notes
In recent years, we've been migrating many of our servers from Linux to FreeBSD as part of our consolidation and optimization efforts. Specifically, we've been moving services that were previously deployed using Docker onto FreeBSD, and it has proven to be a great choice for handling workloads efficiently.| IT Notes
After my post on why we’re migrating (many of) our servers to FreeBSD, I’ve received a lot of feedback. Many questions, many comments. Many e-mails from Linux users asking how we’re migrating, how jails can replace lxc or (in part) Docker, and how we’re monitoring and performing backups/restores.| IT Notes
