[Feature] Support BSD #233

Closed ggg27 closed 5 years ago

ggg27 commented 5 years ago

Feature: Add installation instructions for BSD users. (i.e DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, e.c.t)

Note: Docker is not supported on OpenBSD (as well as some less popular BSDs), as they are Linux-specific. Some workarounds are available: http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabble.com/Docker-on-OpenBSD-td275749.html


NetBSD Note: NetBSD supports Ansible: https://pkgs.org/download/ansible

I'm not sure what you need from me for this. If docker doesn't work, and the local installation instructions don't work because you can't run rust, postgres, and yarn, there's not much I can do.

@dessalines OpenBSD doesn't support Rust but other OSes do (to varying degrees).

local installation instructions

Sorry, I thought this was only for testing. When I have time I'll try to install this in a VM.

Ya there's nothing I can do there then.
