Profile

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 (with Zelta for backups)* Multi-node clustering (based on Raft)* Runs in ~256MB RAM (even with clustering enabled)* Built-in web terminal (Ghostty/WASM)* Integrated networking (bridges, DHCP via dnsmasq)* Samba share managementThe backend is written in Go, and the frontend uses SvelteKit + TypeScript. Development of this project was supported by the FreeBSD Foundation.Quick instal
