I had a little trouble installing Ghost with the SQLite3 backend on FreeBSD. The problem is that there is no precompiled version of node-sqlite3 for FreeBSD and it requires a slight adaptation of the installation process.

I used Matomo for many years as an analytics platform for my websites. two problems here: I am not fond of MySQL/MariaDB (I’m most of a PostgreSQL fan) and Matomo is overkill for my usage. Time to move to GoatCounter!

I am using Isso as a lightweight commenting system for a few websites hosted on my FreeBSD server, and until recently I was using supervisor to daemonize and control the instances. But why using a third party process control system (event if it is does a great job) if we can do it with FreeBSD native mechanisms ?

My approach is to use only built-ins tools from FreeBSD to run a Ghost instance.
