Has anyone started using 'UniFi OS Server' on #FreeBSD yet? I suspect I'll have to install it under a bhyve instance.

For those following along at home, UniFi OS Server is replacing their controller, which runs just fine in a FreeBSD jail, using Java... I've used it there for years.

@dvl I'm waiting / hoping someone will do this soon. I think I tried to rope @feld into doing it, but he declined ;(

@mWare @dvl I gave away my unifi gear to a friend and currently have a couple TP-Links

@feld @dvl meanwhile they've done a case study on my work and I've bought a few million bucks of #UniFi gear ;)

(but I also run #Omada (and #Ruckus, and #Cisco, and #ZyXel and and and...))

@mWare @dvl that's pretty amazing that your business has grown that large and they picked you as a major customer/implementer to study

did you ever beg them for official FreeBSD support? You've given them enough money ffs...

@mWare @dvl aha! You're in the same business as my friend who does this same type of work outside his hosting/WISP services. He did the Xbox conferences, Steam/Valve, always on the NOC team at Interop Vegas, ran the networking for the DOTA tournaments with million dollar purses, etc
