FreeBSD 11.3
- djsumdog 7y agoIs 11.x in maintenance? Because I recall upgrading to the 12-release not too long ago.
- throw0101a 7y agoDebian 10 was released this past weekend, but Debian 8 is still supported until June 2020, and Debian 9 beyond that. See also multiple Postgresql versions being support in parallel. Just because a dot-release of one major version was released, doesn't effect the other major versions also active.
- andrewf 7y agoYes. https://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html#sup https://www.freebsd.org/security/index.html#sup
- hs86 7y agoUntil September 2021: https://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup https://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#sup These version numbers are a little confusing because 11.3 now has newer ZFS features than the latest release from the 12.x branch and upgrading from 11.3 to 12.0 might cause issues as noted in the 11.3 Errata page.
- throw0101a 7y agoIn Debian/Ubuntu terms: the newest ZFS functionality has been backported to one of the previous releases, but not the other (yet).
- tedunangst 7y agoSo many errata for such a new release... https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.3R/errata.html https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.3R/errata.html I don't know why freebsd lists things like this. It's confusing.
- mwfunk 7y agoI followed the link expecting to find a huge page full of confusing lists of confusing things, but instead found a very small, concise page of very concise release notes containing links to information about the handful of security/etc. fixes in the release. Not sure what you're even looking at, the link you posted is a super normal minor release errata page. It is errata after all.
- tedunangst 7y agoSo if I install 11.3, how many patches do I need to apply?
- sureaboutthis 7y agoNone. This is all done for you.
- xenospn 7y agoJust run freebsd-update once.
- imsofuture 7y agoHow does Docker work on FreeBSD these days? I'd be pretty tempted to switch if I knew most of my normal work would continue on working.
- MrMorden 7y agoDocker on FreeBSD works just like on MacOS; you'd use Docker Machine to run the containers on a Linux VM. containerd is intended to be multiplatform from the start, so hopefully the FreeBSD support will come.
- kjeetgill 7y agoHuh, I was under the impression that this was no longer the case and that Hypervisor.Framework removed the need for an intermediate VM. Am I mistaken? Am I mixing this up with something?
- jedisct1 7y agoOn MacOS, yes.
- chadcatlett 7y agoDocker for Mac still uses an intermediate VM, it's just mostly transparent to the user and doesn't require you to manually muck around with docker-machine. You can even connect to the console of the VM if you run into issues.
- djsumdog 7y agoThere was a native Docker port for FreeBSD, but it's very old and very unmaintained. In theory, someone could create a Docker compatible engine using zfs, jails and virtual network adapters. FreeBSD can run Linux/ELF binaries (which is what the old Docker port did). I've always felt like Docker for Mac/Windows was always a hack. Even the newer versions don't run natively, they just use the standard Win/Mac hypervisor API. On Win/Mac, you still have to VPN into your container network. On Linux, you can communication with containers directly via IP.
- erdosnew 7y agofreebsd numbering scheme is confusing, when i read the headline, i was 'eoh? didn't i just upgrade to ver 12 last month?'
