Create a bootable installation USB stick from FreeBSD.org. Install the disk by:
| OS | Command |
|---|---|
| MacOS | sudo dd if=FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/diskX bs=4m |
| Linux | sudo dd if=FreeBSD-12.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4=M |
The best solution is using ZFS. Downside, it will take your whole disk. Encrypt your disk and swap file.
Add the users:
adduser
pkg install bash htop pstree tree

The following is probably outdated and made for FreeBSD version 12. It contains the changed files in the ports tree to get version 460 of the NVidia drivers working. This can be seen as a reference as how to update to a newer version of drivers.

reboot. (Thanks BSDForum.)
Suspend to memory is supported on FreeBSD. Suspend to disk isn't... You can test if your suspend to memory works by running as root:
acpiconf -s 3
If that works, your suspend is going to work. You can change what to do in /etc/rc.suspend and /etc/rc.resume. To start your suspension as a user, you have to be of the operator group.
pw group mod operator -m youruser
Now you can use zzz to suspend your system.
To also get it working within your XFCE, install polkit (pkg install polkit) and make a new file /usr/local/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/85-suspend.rules:
polkit.addRule(function (action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.restart" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop")
&& subject.isInGroup("operator")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
// For those who have working suspend/resume:
polkit.addRule(function (action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.suspend"
&& subject.isInGroup("operator")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
// Explicitly disallow hibernation because it's not supported by the OS.
polkit.addRule(function (action, subject) {
if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.hibernate") {
return polkit.Result.NO;
}
});
Install bash and the autocomplete
pkg install bash bash-completion
Add in your ~/.bashrc:
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/local/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.sh ]; then
. /usr/local/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.sh
fi
fi
In /boot/loader.conf:
smbfs_load="YES"
Or load it by hand:
kldload smbfs
Change in /etc/fstab:
# SMB
//username@server/home /home/luser/documents smbfs rw,late 0 0
And for the credentials change in /etc/nsmbrc (Hostname, username and share has to be in CAPITALS)
[SERVER:USERNAME]
password=your_password
Change in /boot/loader.conf:
amdtemp_load="YES"
Or load it by hand:
kldload amdtemp
pkg install hwstat
pkg install yubioath-desktop yubikey-personalization-gui yubikey-manager-qt
Change in /etc/rc.conf:
pcscd_enable="YES"
Add the user to the u2f group:
pw group mod u2f -m <user>
And restart the services:
service devd restart
service pcscd start
U2F should work now, for example github. Also the tools for configuration will work.
Keep in mind that for the proper use of U2F/FIDO/WebAuth, WebRTC is needed. If you block WebRTC in your browser, U2F will not work!
pkg install opensc
ssh-add -s /usr/local/lib/opensc-pkcs11.so
First, check if your virtualisation is enabled in your BIOS. Mine wasn't (Gighabyte and AMD).
Install packages:
pkg install vm-bhyve grub2-bhyve
zfs create -o mountpoint=/vm pool/vm
Change in /etc/rc.conf:
vm_enable="YES"
vm_dir="zfs:freggel/vm"
vm init
cp /usr/local/share/examples/vm-bhyve/* /vm/.templates/
vm switch create public
vm switch add public igb0
Create a debian VM:
vm create -t debian vmname
vm iso https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-10.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso
vm install vmname debian-10.7.0-amd64-netinst.iso
vm console vmname
