Sylve aims to be a lightweight, open-source virtualization platform for FreeBSD, leveraging Bhyve for VMs and Jails for containerization, with deep ZFS integration. It seeks to provide a streamlined, Proxmox-like experience tailored for FreeBSD environments. It's backend is written in Go and the frontend is written in Svelte (with Kit).
These only apply to the development version of Sylve, the production version will be a single binary.
- Go >= 1.24
- Node.js (v20.18.2)
- NPM (v10.9.2)
Running Sylve is pretty easy, but sylve depends on some packages that you can install using pkg or the corresponding port to that package. Here's a list of what you'd need:
| Dep | Min. version | Vendored | Optional | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| smartmontools | 7.4_2 | No | No | Disk health monitoring |

ntpd_enable="YES" # Optional
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" # Optional
smartd_enable="YES"
zfs_enable="YES"
