Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/711

I would really like to try out Nfty but I'm solely a FreeBSD user on all servers. Getting build errors for Nfty on FreeBSD 13.1. Can you help or consider FreeBSD for your releases? You consider every other OS but not the BSDs.

make: exec(pip3) failed (No such file or directory) implies that you do not have Python installed, or at least that pip3 is not available.

I am happy to consider BSD-type systems, though I don't know anything about *BSD, so it's hard/impossible for me to consider or test it. I'd be more than happy to accept PRs to extend the build toolchain and include FreeBSD and others.

Also see: #162

@schrodyn commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2023):

I tried the OpenBSD solution but it doesn't translate to FreeBSD. I tried to work around the python problem with a venv but I'm getting more problems related to dependencies. Unfortunately I'll consider ntfy incompatible with FreeBSD for now. Shame, I like your project. An alternative might be an Ubuntu jail (FreeBSD containers) but feels like overkill.

Just FYI the current errors:
