Sylve – A management plane for FreeBSD (ZFS, VMs, jails, clustering)

What it does

Modern web interface for FreeBSD. Unified management of Bhyve VMs, Jails, ZFS storage, networking, and system monitoring.

Control your infrastructure without getting buried in management tools. Run VMs and Jails, manage ZFS storage and host networking, then coordinate workloads across a cluster. Provision Bhyve VMs, FreeBSD Jails, and Linux Jails. Snapshot workloads, create templates, and migrate guests between hosts. Create pools, filesystems, and zvols; schedule snapshots; replicate datasets; and serve storage over Samba or iSCSI. Build bridges and virtual networks, enforce firewall and NAT policy, and run DHCP, mDNS, routing, or WireGuard on the host. Join FreeBSD hosts into a cluster, migrate guests, schedule replicated copies, fail over workloads, and restore from remote backups. Organizations helping…from sylve.io

In the maker’s words, at launch

I’ve been working on Sylve, a management plane focused on making FreeBSD infrastructure easier to manage. It integrates closely with FreeBSD (Bhyve, ZFS, networking) and provides a UI + API for managing VMs, jails, and clusters across nodes. It features: * VM (Bhyve) and jail management * ZFS-based storage management…

  hey guys. the other day i was migrating hosting providers and i just needed something not too heavy and convenient to spin up my backups for awhile and realised there is almost nothing out there. kimchi hasn't been updated for years and cockpit is heavy. so here's something i came up with in a couple hours because of a sudden urge, nothing fancy just basic creation with cloud init, lifecycle management and image/storage, but it's modern-ish and it compiles to a 8.4mb binary inclusive of the embedded web UI, CLI and API, and only dep is libvirt.

  We made glhf.chat – run almost any open-source LLM, including 405B2024 · glhf.chat · ▲161

  Try it out! https://glhf.chat/ Hey HN! We’ve been working for the past few months on a website to let you easily run (almost) any open-source LLM on autoscaling GPU clusters. It’s free for now while we figure out how to price it, but we expect to be cheaper than most GPU offerings since we can run the models multi-tenant. Unlike Together AI, Fireworks, etc, we’ll run any model that the open-source vLLM project supports: we don’t have a hardcoded list. If you want a specific model or finetune, you don’t have to ask us for it: you can just paste the Hugging Face link in and…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
