Recently I was finding that my SSH connection to my FreeBSD server was freezing. I’m on macOS Catalina connecting to a FreeBSD box using standard Terminal app. I’m using shared keys and the connection was fine and working well until I left the Terminal window idle for over 15 seconds.

Before you begin this guide, you should have a FreeBSD 13.2 server.
Solr needs the Java version 11 or higher. Java 11 has been extensively tested by both automated tests and users through Solr 9. Long Term Support (LTS) for Java 11 is provided from several sources. Java 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 have no LTS. For this reason, Java 17 is preferred when upgrading Java. But we will use OpenJDK as free and lightweight alternative.

Pkg is the Next Generation package management tool for FreeBSD. It is the replacement for the current pkg_info/pkg_create/pkg_add tools that ports use to register local packages and which provide remote packages.

The port ‘lang/perl5.10’ was removed on 2013-02-04 because: “Has expired: no longer under development, use lang/perl5.16 or lang/perl5.14”. So we need to move from older 5.10 to newer 5.14. To upgrade perl choose port managment tool you like ( portupgrade or portmaster).

Is there an easy way to determine what shell I’m using in terminal?
