From Proxmox to FreeBSD and Sylve in our office lab (iptechnics.com)

IP Technics says its office lab gradually outgrew its Proxmox-based setup as infrastructure management began to outweigh day-to-day work. The team moved to FreeBSD and the Sylve management layer to keep the stack closer to native components like ZFS, bhyve, jails, and pf, making repeated tasks such as provisioning, storage replication, and device passthrough feel simpler. They cite practical benefits including easier disk image conversion, more convenient downloads, and a faster web terminal experience, while noting Proxmox still makes sense for other clients needing classic VM HA.
