How to talk to a local IPMI under OpenBSD
If someone wants to try out IPMI locally with VMs, here is a setup for that: https://github.com/kinvolk/racker/tree/main/racker-sim (you don't need to use Flatcar and Racker)

Show HN: QEMU IPMI simulator environment to test provisioning automation
When working on automated bare-metal provisioning of Kubernetes clusters (the main purpose of the repo https://github.com/kinvolk/racker) it's quite time consuming to test on actual hardware. Also, the hardware may be in use at the moment, or you don't even have access to a free full rack. It was nice to see that there is IPMI support for QEMU and that ipmi_sim integrates, but it was quite hard to set up. Especially the requirement that the BMCs should get their IP address via DHCP on the internal network is a bit more complicated/hacky. If you need to test IPMI commands or develop your own IPMI automation, have a look at this, otherwise it may serve as a demo on how to do Immutable Infra with your on-prem servers.

3 Advantages to Running FreeBSD as Your Server Operating System
> FreeBSD jails don't have a one-command way to install a preconfigured jail for a specific service
FreeBSD does have that tool, its BastilleBSD: https://bastillebsd.org/
For example, this is the Bastillefile for running consul: https://gitlab.com/bastillebsd-templates/consul/-/blob/maste...

Are there some sort of "jails images" one can pull to quickly setup popular software stacks?
Not exactly what you’re looking for, but https://bastillebsd.org is maybe a step towards it?

pf/opn sense best LINUX alternative
Obviously, not as popular - but having used both - I much prefer jails myself. It seems that they can run on opnsense too: https://eerielinux.wordpress.com/2017/07/15/building-a-bsd-home-router-pt-8-zfs-and-jails/ - though instead of iocage referenced here - I'd suggest using: https://bastillebsd.org/
