Running open source 'unix' services via MacPorts on macOS is no longer feasible for me

2022-11-29 Thread Gerben Wierda via macports-users
Over the last years, it has become harder and harder to run Unix services on my Macs. I'm using MacPorts for these since the demise of macOS Server and they include a mail server (dcc, apache-solr8, clamav-server, rspamd, dovecot, postfix) a name server (nsd, unbound) a web server (nginx, minio)

After the demise of Mac OS X Server I migrated all server duties to FreeBSD. Currently I’m running FreeBSD 13.1 on three machines: a Dell tower box with 8 drive bays at home (apache 2.4, php, mysql and ownCloud), a virtualized server at work (nginx, php and mysql), and a 2009 Mac Pro at work (fo

Docker is your solution. And, if macOS is so untenable that Docker is not acceptable to you, there are VM technologies you can use, or you can easily use MiniPC's running Linux. MiniPC's like the Intel NUC I have are the same idea as the Mac Mini, but much much better implemented, and trivially e
