Like any other research institute, ABI needs servers to compute, storage to store and networking to connect systems and data together. While initially everything was a "house of madness" with mix of VMs on the cloud, bare-metals with single user authentication and duct-taped networking, the IT team decided to move everything to a FreeBSD backbone, with bhyve for computing and data saved on ZFS. In this talk we explore how we use FreeBSD in bioinformatics, how jails and ZFS help us to maintain our infrastructure and critical, original data, stories of issues we had over the last year (during my time), experiments in the last 2-3 years (before my time), issues the lab encountered (before our time) and problems we see till this day. The talk also has a list of software that's needed by bioninformatics field which are lacking on FreeBSD, bhyve/jails suggestions that would make our lives easier and problems we encountered while trying to setup a FreeBSD-only HPC environment.
