This tries to describe the information needed by clusteradm when requesting a host / VM / Jail.

• General
  • What exactly will this host do?
  • Who will maintain it
  • Do you need root, if so, why?
    • Could you instead just have one or more service users
    • If no root, which ports should be installed
• Resources
  • Rough CPU (little, medium, a lot)
  • Rough local disk space required (Number of GB)
  • Rough disk IO required (little, medium, a lot)
• Network access
  • Needed incoming ports
  • If HTTP, can it be behind HTTP proxy
• Administration

clusteradm maintains several reference machines for use by FreeBSD developers.

• ref11-amd64.freebsd.org, ref12-amd64.freebsd.org, ref13-amd64.freebsd.org, ref14-amd64.freebsd.org
• ref11-i386.freebsd.org, ref12-i386.freebsd.org, ref13-i386.freebsd.org, ref14-i386.freebsd.org
• ref12-aarch64.freebsd.org, ref13-aarch64.freebsd.org, ref14-aarch64.freebsd.org

The following packages are installed on each of these machines. Please let clusteradm@ know if you need other packages:

• devel/bison
• devel/cmake
• devel/git
• devel/gmake
• devel/meson
• devel/ninja
• devel/subversion (until ports switches)
• devel/swig
• editors/vim@console
• emulators/qemu@nox11
• lang/gcc
• lang/perl5.32
• net/rsync
• ports-mgmt/portlint
• sysutils/screen
• sysutils/tmux
• sysutils/u-boot-qemu-arm
• sysutils/u-boot-qemu-arm64
• sysutils/u-boot-qemu-riscv64

All mirrors are created from the public seeds, and sync from their upstream with a 5 second loop.

PS. For end-users reading this, please don't use any of the hostnames mentioned here. We in no way gurantee anything about them. Please use the documented hostnames at Subversion Mirror Sites

• bit-master.FreeBSD.org is the master server for svn mirroring.
  • It sync svn from svn.FreeBSD.org
  • It serves svn-master.FreeBSD.org
  • It servers svn0.us-west.FreeBSD.org
• vcs.nyi.FreeBSD.org is the main US East coast mirror at NYI.
  • It syncs repository from svn-master.FreeBSD.org using https.
  • It serves svn0.us-east.FreeBSD.org.
