That would be amazing :D
I run FreeBSD on my servers and use scripts to manage jails and send and receive ZFS snapshots between hosts.
I've been wanting to write some more robust tools of my own for those things, than the scripts I have now, and my favourite programming language is Rust!
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoCan't you do that now? The article lists ports tools doing those things already
- codetrotter 3y agoSure I can but Rust in the base system would provide: - A stable target, and - Lots of FreeBSD specific Rust code to read from expert FreeBSD programmers, as guidance - Probably better ability to build ISOs of my own that include the base system and my jail and ZFS management Rust programs, so that I can install servers from that ready-made ISO and have less post-install work to do
- zilti 3y agoIn terms of server install ISOs, I can highly recommend mfsBSD, and also cloud-init to trigger post-install setup
