Nice to see it done on FreeBSD. I recently needed to startup a web server with PhpBB. And I choose to do it in OpenBSD with their own webserver "httpd". After some trial and error and some abused VM's I now have a self-hosted bulletin-board in a chrooted OpenBSD-based web server. It was a fun little project. I haven't done any web server stuff in decades. So now we have another four letter abbreviation "OMPH" (OpenBSD, MariaDB, PHP, Httpd). It was a bit scary with the https part but Letsencrypt with ACME on OpenBSD worked really nice. I usually run OpenBSD on desktops and FreeBSD on servers, but with internet-facing stuff I felt I would probably sleep better if I did it on OpenBSD. Their "Secure defaults" approach can hopefully compensate for any potential brain farts.

FreeBSD, Apache, PostgreSQL and Python is better. For one thing the database and language are also BSD licensed.

I got a laugh out of forgetting to put 'install' into the command, I've done that so many times it's unreal

A really useful video, your explanation is very simple and easy to understand. Please, could you create a FAMP + WordPress video on FreeBSD?, since many tutorials only cause confusion and do not master the topic as much, thank you for your effort.

Darn. I was looking for this 3 days ago !

very informative... whats the usecase for this btw ? I would love to see a python environment in the (near?) future... Thanks!!!

Excellent tutorials. Can you tell how, or point me to instructions to create the 'reservation' to get a static IP from DHCP - thank you very much.

Why not use FreeBSD, Nginx, Php, and Postgresql?

excellent video very informative, -sometimes it would be more nice to see the command line instead of your nice nose;-) how about a split screen you on the right and on the left the console;-) -or just a second longer the line. -however thanks to you i made it too many thanks for that cheers and merry xmas

sorry, but i prefer you don't use background music, it's bit annoying, your voice is comfortable without music

I'm pretty sure MySQL is now MariaDB instead :|
