chore: remove FreeBSD platform target — no path forward#394
Merged
Conversation
Drops all FreeBSD-related artifacts. Containers stay on the current Linux mix (UBI 9 backend/worker, Alpine db/frontend) and air-gapped deployment remains served by the native RPM/DEB packages. Why dropped: - Standard Linux Docker hosts cannot execute FreeBSD OCI containers; that requires OCI v1.3 with a FreeBSD-aware runtime, which only exists on FreeBSD hosts. Every developer machine and every GitHub Actions Linux runner falls in this category. - GitHub Actions does not provide FreeBSD runners. Self-hosted FreeBSD runners would need to be procured and maintained. - The pkg deliverable (H3) alone did not justify maintaining the container fork. Removed: - docker/Dockerfile.backend.freebsd - docker/Dockerfile.db.freebsd - docker/Dockerfile.frontend.freebsd - docker-compose.freebsd.yml - packaging/freebsd/ (build-pkg.sh + rc.d scripts) BACKLOG.md cleaned of the FreeBSD packaging row. Supersedes PR #393 (FreeBSD CI validation).

Supersedes #393.
Summary
Removes all FreeBSD platform artifacts. Containers stay on the current Linux mix (UBI 9 backend/worker, Alpine db/frontend); air-gapped deployment remains served by native RPM/DEB packages.
Why dropped
The Q1 plan (Tier 2) and Q2 plan (Workstream H1+H3) drove this work; both have been re-marked as ABANDONED in their respective plan docs (see local working copy — those files are not tracked in git).
