Show HN: Sylve – A management plane for FreeBSD (ZFS, VMs, jails, clustering)
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:<p>* VM (Bhyve) and jail management<p>* ZFS-based storage management (with Zelta for backups)<p>* Multi-node clustering (based on Raft)<p>* Runs in ~256MB RAM (even with clustering enabled)<p>* Built-in web terminal (Ghostty/WASM)<p>* Integrated networking (bridges, DHCP via dnsmasq)<p>* Samba share management<p>The backend is written in Go, and the frontend uses SvelteKit + TypeScript. Development of this project was supported by the FreeBSD Foundation.<p>Quick install:<p>fetch -o - <a href="https://sh.sylve.io" rel="nofollow">https://sh.sylve.io</a> | sh
