${project_name} is a software forge, build farm and distribution channel.

Bisdi

Persistent live distribution of FreeBSD

Bisdi is a cloud-optimized distribution of stock FreeBSD with a custom kernel based on MINIMAL.

Sides

Mini filesystems providing service configurations

Sides are diskless classes, which are heavily leveraged by Bisdi.

Original software

${project_name} actively develops and maintains code bases for a variety of platforms and purposes.

FreeBSD utilities

Most of these titles were authored to accomplish Bisdi. Currently they are only available from Depot, our cross-platform FreeBSD package repository.

Web applications

• Radio Station

Runway

Headless Wayland desktop

Runway is more like a recipe, although there are original programs involved. It was written to provide a persistent graphical session containing many remote terminal sessions on a resource-deprived VPS.

• Sway runs on the VPS host in a VNC server.
• The user creates an encrypted SSH tunnel and connects to the VNC server with any VNC client.

Custom FreeBSD builds

B kernel

The B kernel adds some key features missing from GENERIC. On amd64, it is based on MINIMAL so virtually everything is loaded as a module, meaning virtually everything can also be unloaded.

Annex packages

Annex is a build profile, expressed as a make(1) configuration, which replaces pulseaudio with sndio, resulting in a system without pulseaudio.
