A graphical Package Manager and Admin Tool

for FreeBSD and GhostBSD

After switching from openSUSE Leap to GhostBSD I try to make my BSD-Life more comfortable.
I started to work on a GUI for Package Management and simple Administration tasks. The functionality of the Package Manager is quit similar to GhostBSD's Softwarestation but it's faster.

Features

Package Manager

search packages
display packages in categories
install, remove, lock and unlock single and multiple packages

Settings

select language (english or german)
select os (FreeBSD or GhostBSD)
select fonts for the application

Edit /etc/rc.conf

insert, edit and remove fields and values

Administration of services

list active services
start, stop and restart selected services

Network configuration

display network settings
configure LAN and WLAN connections
show wlan access points

User and Group administration

list, create, edit and remove users and groups

Update Manager

When BSD Admin detects that you work on FreeBSD an additional menu "Update Manager" will be displayed. With Update Manager you can:

Install updates of softwarepackages (pkg upgrade)
Update the FreeBSD kernel (freebsd-update)
Manage bootenvironments (create, delete, rename, activate BE's)

By default BSD Admin will create a backup of your bootenvironment before updates are installed.

On GhostBSD you should use Update-Station and Backup-Station for these tasks!!

Download BSD Admin

Download and Installation

1. Download the tar-archive and extract it in a directory of your choice
2. Run the shellscript "setup_bsdadmin.sh". It installs all packages needed to run BSD Admin
3. Start bsd_admin.tcl from a terminal

FreeBSD Users: sudo has to be installed and configured for BSD Admin
