I run FreeBSD regularly on Digital Ocean droplets. I initially installed their image just to get going. I have a nightly cron job that does a source tree update and recompile of the entire system and several kernels. I can then update when- and as I wish. At the moment, the server that is up is running shows this: myserver:/usr/src>svn info Path: . Working Copy Root Path: /usr/src URL: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/10 Relative URL: ^/stable/10 Repository Root: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base Repository UUID: ccf9f872-aa2e-dd11-9fc8-001c23d0bc1f Revision: 323012 Node Kind: directory Schedule: normal Last Changed Author: davidcs Last Changed Rev: 322975 Last Changed Date: 2017-08-28 14:17:28 -0500 (Mon, 28 Aug 2017) tl;dr It works just fine.... P.S. I run it nightly because recompiling world and kernel is on a VPS is sloooooow. What takes 30 mins on a quad core i5 takes over 5 hours on the droplet. Who cares? I'm asleep :) Then again, a big (more expensive) droplet would likely do it much faster. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tundra@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/
