It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server: An important milestone that deals with the topic of virtualisation with BHYVE. This also marks the start of a parallel series of articles on how best to install the various VMs.
During the creation of the article series FreeBSD as a server, I actually had a hard drive fail. In such a case, I don't hesitate for long and replace it immediately. My data is more important to me than a possible ‘I'll be fine’, even if the disc was back after a reboot. With ZFS, this has lost its horror.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server. This is mainly about the final version of the article on setting up Bastille and creating the first jails.
It continues in my article series: FreeBSD as a server. I went through all the previous articles again and made minor adjustments here and there. Network settings and preparations and Firewall added.

The primary purpose of a server is of course to provide all kinds of services permanently and to look after important data. FreeBSD is ideally suited for this.

Purists who absolutely understand their system and want to retain absolute control are in the right place here.
