Looks great! Love seeing Svelte being adopted in the wild. I've been experimenting with jails on my devserver to sandbox AI agents, going to give this a whirl.

Looks good! Any reason why it is not in the ports?

> Sylve supports both Bhyve virtual machines and Jail-based workloads from a single UI. It also includes Samba share management and ZFS snapshot automation with periodic schedules and retention policies, so teams can run workloads and protect data from one control plane. This is awesome! I only started toying around with Proxmox after VMware became actively hostile towards users last year or maybe a bit earlier. This is a welcome alternative in the space. It's impressive. But the reputation of FreeBSD and the inclusion of ZFS and jails from the people I trust most to build a lightweight system is pretty great and I'm excited to see how this develops over time.

Surely that's "on" FreeBSD not "by" FreeBSD?
