Had exactly the same intent, install hub into jail.

This should be enough (for latest release tag), the problem is in tooling for javascript generation, that is ignoring that FreeBSD exists. With this fix, i was able to generate js and compile hub.

make build-web-ui build-hub

I am not ts expert and I really dislike anything related to js, so I cant support it, I hope that author is better in this.

Just testing it, added all my jails and physical server into it and it seems it is working fine.

Both rc.d scripts are assuming that beszel (hub) and/or beszelagent (agent) are installed to /usr/local/beszel

The scripts bellow are more on a POC level, feel free to adjust them. The agent script is also injectin PATHs for FreeBSD and can execute smartctl properly.

hub rc.d script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/beszel)

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: beszel
# REQUIRE: networking
# KEYWORD:

. /etc/rc.subr
name="beszel"
rcvar="beszel_enable"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
logfile="/var/log/${name}.log" 
beszel_command="/usr/local/beszel/beszel"

load_rc_config $name

: ${beszel_enable:=no}
: ${beszel_listen:="10.1.3.19:8081"}
: ${beszel_chdir:="/usr/local/beszel"}
: ${beszel_flags:=""}

command="/usr/sbin/daemon"
command_args="-P ${pidfile} -o ${logfile} -r -f ${beszel_command} serve --http ${beszel_listen} ${beszel_flags}"

run_rc_command "$1"

Agent rc.d script (/usr/local/etc/rc.d/beszelagent):

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: beszelagent
# REQUIRE: networking
# KEYWORD:

. /etc/rc.subr
name="beszelagent"
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: beszelagent
# REQUIRE: networking
# KEYWORD:

. /etc/rc.subr
name="beszelagent"
rcvar="${name}_enable"
pidfile="/var/run/${name}.pid"
logfile="/var/log/${name}.log"
beszel_command="/usr/local/beszel/${name}"

load_rc_config $name

: ${beszelagent_enable:=no}
: ${beszelagent_listen:="0.0.0.0:45876"}
: ${beszelagent_chdir:="/usr/local/beszel"}
: ${beszelagent_key:=""}
: ${beszelagent_flags:=""}

if [ -z "${beszelagent_key}" ]; then
    err 1 "beszelagent_key is not set in /etc/rc.conf – it is required"
fi

sh_args="PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin ${beszel_command} --listen ${beszelagent_listen} --key '${beszelagent_key}' ${beszelagent_flags}"

We now have a precompiled FreeBSD hub available as of the 0.17.0 release.

I'll update the install script to support FreeBSD at some point soon. Thanks @stiray for your examples. I'll use that as the starting point.
