Hetzner no longer offers direct install of FreeBSD, but we can do it ourselves. Here is how :)
Boot the Hetzner server in Hetzner Debian based rescue mode. ssh into it.
The Hetzner rescue image will tell you hardware details about the server in the login banner. For example, with one of my servers I see:
jq — https://jqlang.org/ — "like sed for JSON data"
There are several options available for installing jq.
I prefer to use Homebrew: brew install jq
This guide explains how to install the FreeBSD on Hetzner Cloud VPS. This might also work for other VPS providers with the proper rescue system in place.
