@James Adam, just like Linux taught me to appreciate FreeBSD, FreeBSD taught me to appreciate OpenBSD.

OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL, and the NTP rewrite OpenNTPD. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

Might want to look into that as well.

Cheers!

I think with the recent systemd travesty, a lot of linux folks are going to be seriously looking at the BSDs. I've always liked FreeBSD more than linux (it's more unix-ey), but have been using linux simply because it was easier to find hosting. I've got an app in development now that I would love to be able to deploy on FreeBSD in the near future. I'm about done with Debian, and I've never liked the RH-based distros (I hear nothing but bad things about CentOS 7).

Yisssss. I can't wait. I feel like most BSD hosting out there is kind of a ripoff. Will be patiently awaiting the email for the FreeBSD images on DO and I'll be spinning one up right away.

Cool! but .. any plans for OpenBSD?

I'm glad to finally have an update, but can it really be that hard to support OpenBSD as well? As other's have mentioned - a significant proportion of the comments on this suggestion explicitly ask for OpenBSD support....

Great News!!!

Too bad I just got another VPS a couple days before this announcement but still looking forward to trying DO out.

Dear DigitalOcean.

Is it possible to help you as volunteer for implement FreeBSD faster ?

I'm ready if its possible.

Good work DO, little slow... well watching 4K HD over tor slow, but good work for getting in on it finally :)

This is great news! Thanks. Please let us know when FreeBSD is supported.

That's great news! Looking forward to trying DO in a few months :)

| In regards to FreeBSD, we’ve begun the work necessary to get it supported in DO. We’ve already begun testing it internally and hope to launch within the next 2 months.

That is fantastic news! Thanks for the update. If you're looking for someone outside the org to beta test a non-production use droplet, I'd be happy to.

Yay! :-)

FreeBSD is so far behind it's just now beginning to catch up with what OpenBSD has been doing for over 10 years:

http://itwire.com/business-it-news/open-source/62641-crypto-freebsd-playing-catch-up-says-de-raadt

As for unnecessary, experimental technologies -- take TrustedBSD (MAC) and jails for instance:

>>"FreeBSD is a testbed of a lot of unnecessary, experimental technologies, most of whom are not likely to stand the test of time."

WTF are you talking about?

FreeBSD is one of the most stable and conservative to add features operating systems in existence. It's so conservative it's to a fault.

+1

FreeBSD support would be perfect for me. It's my preferred OS and I would really like to migrate my droplets to it.

Jerry, their true priority is getting their infrastructure right to support not just BSD by any OS of choice. This involves rewriting their entire codebase which is an extremely large undertaking.

Anonymous, OpenBSD is by far the most superior of the BSD operating systems. It's a lot simpler, a lot more secure and is responsible for a lot more technologies that have made their way into other Unix and Linux distributions (PF, OpenSSH, LibreSSL, OpenSMTPD etc.).

Please see my comment over at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/an-introduction-to-selinux-on-centos-7-part-1-basic-concepts.

FreeBSD is a testbed of a lot of unnecessary, experimental technologies, most of whom are not likely to stand the test of time. It's filled with childish ASCII art, its website is a ripoff of the PostgreSQL website, it has a satanic mascot, and its latest logo, pardon my French, looks like a shiny dildo.

after 2 years. nothing.. this is also why I am taking my business some where else. I am new to DO but after seeing a suggestion up for 2 years concerns me about what a companies true priority is.

Gandering around. Deciding on a host.
FYI to the admins: FreeBsd as a personal fave and is a factor in hosting decision.
Debian may do for now..... depending on the offerings avail..... DO is well designed but looks aren't everything...

+3 I would really like to see any of the BSDs supported on the digital ocean platform!

Anyone considering a move to vultr check this URL:
https://discuss.vultr.com/discussion/329/vultr-suspended-account-for-no-reason-with-my-clients-vps-on-them

Someone had a compromissed VM and vultr cancelled the ENTIRE account instead of suspending the single VPN. They claim they have since updated their policy, but that is plain insane to cancel an entire account beause of one VPN.

>>Phil commented · August 28, 2014 3:50 PM
>>Greenqloud is way better than Vultr.

GreenQloud COMPLETELY lost 3 VMs of mine. They had some disk subssystem issues at different points in time and the end result was that over a few months I lost 3 VMs hosted with them.

I recommend a great deal of caution, and good backups, to anyone considering GreenQloud.

Some weeks back they sent a notice indicating they were going to make some shanges to their disk subsystem which should increae availability.. but I am very skeptical of them.

Just got a reply from the man himself. I hope it's ok with him that I repost it here (I reckon he figured I would anyway), especially considering all the heat DO seems to be getting in this thread.

-

Hi,

Sorry for this extremely late reply but as our growth took off last year we definitely underestimated how much scaling we had to do as a company to keep up. That meant everything from provisioning a ton of new equipment, raising two rounds, hiring from 20 to now 100 staff, and of course writing code while paying down some technical debt that we've accrued along the way.

I wanted to give you an update on this issue because I always respond to every email, even when its almost a year late. In the case of FreeBSD we certainly want to support the OS. The issue that we ran into is how we were laying down the file system in our v1.0 codebase. We've since rolled out v1.5 or our codebase and it is now the default in every new location that we launch and we've also begun testing a migration process in our San Francisco region to migrate that entire region over to the 1.5 code base.

Behind the scenes we've also been working on a metadata service that will further ease our ability to support different OSes and there are a ton of changes in the code base that the old one could simply not support.

As soon as we've nailed down some of these items we will look into FreeBSD support. It was actually my own personal favorite operating system.

Unfortunately at this time I don't have an ETA and I've certainly learned my lesson that the ETAs that we provided when we were a much smaller startup were a lot easier to get right but as we've scaled things of course became more complex and so an ETA is hard to provide at this time. But I did want to write to you to let you know that we are definitely still working on this and trying to get it out soon as is reasonable.

Thanks,
Moisey

Greenqloud is way better than Vultr.

I'm siding with the last two comments - DO has lost my business. I've moved to Vultr.com where I can run BSD to my heart's content and custom ISOs. For less money.

DO, you're not going to win people over from Linode or any of your other competitors if you make a practice of ignoring your existing customers. Bad show.

Staff not say? FreeBSD NOW :B

Gosh the lack of response by the DO staff shows their attitude towards customers/potential customers.

Think I'll not even bother coming back to DO and spending my money here,

I've moved to vultr.com. It offers FreeBSD and custom ISO

I gave it +3, I would love to see FreeBSD on DO.

+1 Royce Williams

Given the regular questions, it would be great if someone at DigitalOcean could take a moment to even briefly address the issues blocking BSD. If it's just not a priority and you're busy doing other things, being up front about that would be great. If there are technical challenges, folks in the BSD community could step up to assist. Anything but radio silence would go a long way to reach out to this potential customer base.

+1 freebsd

Greenqloud from Iceland (https://www.greenqloud.com/) - the most viable alternative to DO by far - now offers BSD.

Note that you might need to contact support first as their droplets are still under testing.

Here we are, years later, with BSD support still no closer (at least, visibly) than it was to start with. This is, to put it mildly, beyond disappointing. I've been a DO customer for a long time, waiting for this to become a reality. You'd be able to offer a service that your biggest competitor (Linode) won't even touch. It's time to make it happen!

How hard can this be? Nearly two years? Please give us FreeBSD support now!

FreeBSD support please..

Another comment on Rackspace... they do let you do "your own setup".. so one could have a non ZFS boot.. and also have swap.. however this "roll your own".. is really... roll your own... you have to handle the /etc/rc.conf for proper values for networking.

I am trying Vultr.. and so far found some issues..
It seems they block port 25 by default and they want you to send a fax with ID.
I have yet to test this.. as I had not needed to send emails out..

After reading about that I went and actually read.. terms of service, anti-spam policy and whatever else they had...

I could not find any mention of this crazy rule.

Also... they serve the right to charge you $5 for every spam having got out of your box.. so if you have a VM, it gets compromised and it seems 1000 spams.. in theory Vultr could charge you $5,000.. Insane!!!!

I guess I am going to have to stick with arp networks.. even if they don't give snapshots or even allow you to create VMs right away. http://arpnetworks.com

Rackspace not an option either.. Their insane decision to eliminate swap as of FreeBSD 9.2 coupled with ZFS for root, means anything less than a 2GB VM can crash under heavy usage.

Stress testing RAM on a 1GB VM crashes it every single time.
What is crazy is that the SSD VMs crash much sooner than their SATA VMs under RAM stress test.

Have yet to find a good provider with good support for BSD.

@Xavier

It appears by that tweet to me that BSD support is not in fact coming anytime soon, when though this post is marked as "started".

Still waiting for bsd :(

Did DO back in March official tell FreeBSD they aren't releasing support?

See

https://mobile.twitter.com/freebsd/status/440701979971448832

Every month I check in to see if there have been any developments....

>> " Just be patient, good things come to those who wait."

@Anonymous

You're kidding right.

DO marked bsd support as started over 1 year ago and no update.

Then a few months ago, freebsd reached out to DO via twitter and DO was rejective in their response.

I'm thoroughly disappointed.

And the thing is, good design is not just about the front page, it goes beyond the visual into the system architecture and the whole culture around it. And if a person, or a group, truly masters one thing, they will surely master everything else as well. Which is why, in the case of Vultr, I choose to judge the book by the cover.

DO knows the meaning of good design, so I'm sure they know the value of the BSDs (especially OpenBSD). Just be patient, good things come to those who wait.

Yeah, but unfortunately Vultr gives off an amateurish vibe. I tried to recommend they hire some better designers to at least try to match DigitalOcean but they closed the thread:

I've been using Vultr.com for a month now and IT'S GREAT.

For those of you who have switched to https://www.vultr.com how has it been?

From what I gather reading on their web site, Vultr is slightly cheaper than DO, has more data center locations than DO (and obviously supports BSD - which is what we all here want).

Just curious to know if people have been happy with https://www.vultr.com/ thus far before I sign up.

I disagree with the gentleman not asking for "me too" posts - at the very least I now know of a few competitive options that aren't into the whole monoculture thing.

Doing OpenBSD as well would give you guys a clear advantage over Vultr. Please get behind the BSDs.

+1 for FreeBSD

It has been an ongoing subject for more than 2 years now... and it is stated as "STARTED"..

When are you guys planning to provide *BSD droplets? If that's never going to happen, can you guys just close that thread?

...and I'll be going with a different provider.

OpenBSD is known for stably running under KVM, there is no reason not to offer it. If the issue is binary patch support, then contracting with M:Tier isn't that hard to do if you don't want to run your own build process.

I would also switch to digital ocean in a heartbeat, if you offered a *BSD (preferably OpenBSD, but I guess beggars can't be choosers). Please hurry up with this, you've been talking about it since 2012! Now that Vultr are offering it, its becoming increasingly hard to hold out...

This is getting ridiculous. Thanks for the Vultr tip Ricky. Sorry DO - you won't be getting my custom.

It looks like it digital ocean wanted, they would have a huge amount of customers who want freeBSD VMs.

I understand that DO may not want freeBSD and linux on the same servers, so my suggestion is to take one server and make it all BSD and see how well it does with a limited number of people and see how it works out.

We all know not everyone at Digital Ocean is crazy about Linux so to those, even if it's a minority of digital ocean employees, speak up and proudly talk about BSD. Don't like conversations of docker annoy you--show others what something like jails can do.

Please Add Freebsd

+1

I too have left Digital Ocean for another provider who has BSD support.

Sorry DO, I've moved to Vultr due to your slowness in releasing this feature.

The lack of BSD images has got me looking at other services. How hard could it be to get going? I run *BSDs virtualized here at home. Compiling ports might be an issue, but all the BSDs have binary package managers availible now. Get with it already!

What's the state of adding support for FreeBSD?
I mean the votes for this suggestion clearly show that users really want it!

I don't get it why DO constantly adds some new useless features an ignores some of the top community requests like support for FreeBSD and IPV6.

FreeBSD 10.0 is out and DO would surely be the preferred BSD VPC provider if it was supported.

going to move away from your service due the lack of freebsd support, sorry

Please add FreeBSD 10 image.

FreeBSD is about to release FreeBSD 10.0, will you be supporting BSD installs soon?

Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. The world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

DO it hommie!

You said you were test running an alpha build. It's been 1 year now. Are the BSDs still on your roadmap?
Since then, you've change your stance to "primarily focusing on (various) Linux distros" and "we may be adding it (BSDs) in the future.
Should we continue to keep our hopes up or move on from here?

freebsd please!

FreeBSD please!

Not having BSDs images must be considered a bug, BSD it's the more secure, stable and easy to configure os in the world!!!!!!

My logs show increased break-in attempts after I moved to Digital Ocean's IPs. This makes it all the more important to properly secure my droplets, something I'm having a hard time doing in Linux. With Linux, it's lot of beating around the bush. Overcomplicated config files, a lot of disabling and removing of things one don't need, having to deal with a messy and outdated firewall. With OpenBSD, I'd just have to change a few config file lines and lo and behold have one of the most secure and well-thought out droplets the world has ever seen.

Moisey, do you still need upvotes?

Anyone else notice OpenBSD's mascot towards the end of Digital Ocean's intro vid? Sure sign that things are in the works!

Rob: The more you complain the more you're destroying it for the rest of us.

Almost two years and Digital Ocean continues to say "It's in the works!" or "Vote for it if you want it!" yet here we are, almost two years later, with the best internet OS still ignored.

would love to run FreeBSD on DigitalOcean !

Although having used FreeBSD for over a decade, switching to OpenBSD was like a breath of fresh air. So much simpler and so much more secure.

Like they say, "perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away". I believe no other OS in the world today embodies this principle as well as OpenBSD does.

Thank you.

OpenBSD FTW!

good... I am an ancient user or FreeBSD and NetBSD...

Great idea!

I'm also interested in OpenBSD

OpenBSD support will be very interesting for us. It runs fine under virtualization hosts already...

NetBSD!!!

I'd prefer OpenBSD, FreeBSD, DragonflyBSD and NetBSD. In that order.

Can't we just have an option to use ipxe to boot whatever we'd like?

+1

I personaly do prefer OpenBSD but you might consider to support ANY major BSD?

OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD :-)

But if I have just one vote I'd vote for OpenBSD.

FreeBSD -

please support FreeBSD! :-)

OpenBSD for stability!

OpenBSD is the most secure.

OpenBSD awesome!

OpenBSD is an extremely feature-rich OS long before you need to start messing about with PORTS. Just having an nginx chroot in the base install is enough for many a web app.

+1 goes to OpenBSD

Would you be able to provide support for OpenBSD please?

OpenBSD...the king of all OS...secure, stable, reliable...you name it...one awesome os.
