Depending on demand, adding other BSD variants is certainly a possibility. We had to start somewhere, and the FreeBSD community has been very vocal about wanting to see this happen. This is the first non-Linux OS we've decided to support, so we're excited to get feedback on it.
- barkingcat 12y agoThanks! I'm a long time FreeBSD vps user. It'd be great to check if DO droplets can support CARP failover within the same datacentre, and then expand to be able to do this across datacentres. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/carp.html https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/carp.html My use cases so far haven't involved CARP but I'd like to start experimenting with that!
- wcfields 12y agoAny recommendations of other BSD VPS providers?
- floatboth 12y agoI run FreeBSD on Greenqloud.
- kiike 12y agoRootBSD [1] has been around for quite a while. I personally use fileMEDIA [2] and LunaNode. fileMEDIA provides a set of isos, among which you can find FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonflyBSD (i personally requested them the DFBSD one). On LunaNode you can upload any ISO image or qcow2 file you'd like. 1: http://www.rootbsd.net http://www.rootbsd.net 2: http://www.filemedia.de http://www.filemedia.de 3: http://www.lunanode.com http://www.lunanode.com
- barkingcat 12y agoRootBSD is insanely awesome and is the one I'd recommend whole heartedly. Compile your own kernels, your own world, and they are always on hand for assistance for things that you need help with. I've been a happy customer for a number of years.
- cpach 12y agoI think FreeBSD was a great choice! I currently have an Ubuntu droplet, but it feels great to know that I can switch to FreeBSD if I like.
