Hi all. I was wondering if somebody tried or managed to deploy a Lemmy instance on a FreeBSD machine. When looking at the Lemmy repositories it seems to me that docker is a requirement. Or am I wrong?

I recently moved all my sites and services to FreeBSD and have no Linux based VPS right now but still would like to run a Lemmy instance.

Thanks a lot for any help / clarification.
