Would love to test it on my little home server - is there a way of installing it without docker? Like bare metal install? (Server is running FreeBSD, no docker though)

I‘m an old fart using FreeBSD and jails, in the jails mostly bare metal install. Home assistant runs in bhyve, one docker app (audiobookshelf) runs in bhyve as well (alpine linux and docker)

Have a look at Silverbullet, selfhosting is fairly easy, using it on one device (offline) as well. Watch the videos, it’s quite powerful.
