Package for FreeBSD

[h-2]

Hey,

I am running FreeBSD on my server which does not support Docker (or at least it doesn't support running Linux Docker images atm).

I successfully managed to use the Linux prebuilt package, but I'd like to add a native Port to the FreeBSD-Ports collection. This requires running the respective build steps on package build. Since I didn't find any manual install instructions, I did some guessing and came up with yarn install --frozen-lockfile --production and yarn build.

The first command runs fine:

But the build command fails:

I am new to the whole node ecosystem, so maybe I am on the wrong track altogether.

If you don't have time for this, feel free to ignore, but I thought it would be nice to have a native FreeBSD package for this :)

Hey, you almost got it, the issue with running it locally is that some of the Dev packages will be required, I don't fully understand why next 16 behaves this way, it was never a problem in next 14.

If you remove that --production flag it'll build properly, however you'll end up with all the node modules junk.

Have a look at my workaround in the build phase to get that linux pre-build package in the release, it should be everything you need ♥️

I actually looked into this the other day and totally forgot to reply. Sorry!

Can you try adding a .babelrc file in the root of the project and put this in it

{
  "presets": ["next/babel"]
}

Then run

yarn install --frozen-lockfile

And lastly

yarn build

If this works I'll see if I can script it for the poor future souls running into the same issue haha

[h-2]

Thanks! I did it, but same problem as before.

Like I said, I believe I have the problem that a dependency just isn't available for FreeBSD. But maybe we can avoid that somehow?

[fccview]

Well that was my idea of a workaround, I was forcing the build to use the Babel presets.

I think the issue is that turbopack doesn't work on freebsd , I was trying to see if next would be smart enough to work around it with these preset being forced but I think due to using serwist for the pwa turbopack is being forced in there.

Next16 relies on it anyway, so I'm not entirely sure how to realistically sort this out. If you want to do some research I'd check how to run next 16 with webpack instead of turbopack on a freebsd environment.

Unfortunately I'm still in hospital, I don't have Jotty setup on my laptop for development as I usually work on it directly from my homelab (which is not remotely accessible via ssh)

Long story short, this may take me a while to help you out with, all I can do is theorise with you for now haha

[h-2]

Sorry to hear, and no worries at all!

The core of the problem is swc-project/swc#10106 and I don't see us fixing that. Some people seem to have used workarounds through WASM, but they also don't seem easy to replicate.

I will meditate on this a bit, but I think the easiest solution is just using the prebuilt linux package via FreeBSD's linux-binary-compat. It means that development on FreeBSD will be difficult, but deployment should be easy (even if it means pulling in useless linux binary compat packages).

Regarding LDAP, I will see if I find a spare hour on my work laptop (which runs Linux and Claude 😉 ).

[fccview]

Let me know what you cook up and I'll happily review and help as soon as I have more capacity ❤️

So, I have setup Jotty on my Work laptop which runs Linux/aarch64. Since not all dependencies are available on aarch64, I expected the yarn install to fail. Interestingly, yarn converted the project to yarn-4.1.0 and then decided to build all missing dependencies, which took 45min(!).
An important thing is that this changes the lock file, so --frozen-lockfile is not supported.

However, I have hopes that it might work on FreeBSD with a newer version of yarn, as well. FreeBSD is currently still at 1.2...
