  • How Does FreeBSD Compare to Linux on a Raspberry Pi?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jan 2024
    I run a RaspberryPi 3 with FreeBSD 13 booting off an SD card and a USB SSD for storage [1]. Coincidentally today (1/7/2024) is its one year anniversary.

    It runs a jail with my single user GotoSocial ActivityPub server [2] reasonably well with cloudflared [3] handling incoming traffic and acting as CDN to take some of the load. Originally it was only using an SD card, but there was too much IO contention so a USB-SSD adapter is used to offload the IO.

    I choose FreeBSD over Linux since I have other Rpis with Linux already and wanted more experience with *BSD, jails, and ZFS. Unfortunately ZFS wasn't the best choice on an Rpi since it's more cpu intensive and switched back to UFS.

    Overall it's been solid, multiple GTS updates and have it on my list to update to FreedBSD 14 but not really in a rush.

    Anyway, here is the Github link for Cloudflared (aka Cloudflare Tunnel client) which should allow you to remotely tunnel into your Synology server instead of using the HTTP-based reverse proxying method: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared

    As an alternative to traditional ingress, you can use cloudflared to expose web apps on Cloudflare via encrypted tunnels: https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared
