A guide to setting up a .Net development environment on FreeBSD
Initially, this guide was for FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE.
I have updated this guide and tested it again on 14.2-RELEASE.
This guide is for .Net Developers. It assumes you know enough to get FreeBSD installed but are generally unfamiliar with FreeBSD as a development platform.
What's here:
- How to get a .Net development environment on FreeBSD. Those are the numbered steps.
- How to host a .Net web application in a Jail on FreeBSD. https://github.com/AZDeveloper777/FreeBSDDotNetGuide/blob/main/BastilleJail_w_DotNet_MVC.md
- How to host a Git server on FreeBSD that you can use with VSCode and Visual Studio as your remote repo. https://github.com/AZDeveloper777/FreeBSDDotNetGuide/blob/main/ForgeJo-HostGitOnFreeBSD.md
- Assorted tips, tricks, thoughts and musings from the perspective of a Windows / .Net developer on moving to FreeBSD an application delivery platform and development environment. I'm a long time VMWare Workstation user, so you'll see some of that, too.
- Coming soon: How to run MS SQL Server in a Linux VM on FreeBSD. This is based on my work at: https://github.com/AZDeveloper777/MSSQL2022LinuxGuide
