Interview with Damian Naprawa (Docker Captain)
A talk about admin practice, BSD, and remote work realities.
Welcome to bsdops.com.
BSD is a family of Unix operating systems from Berkeley, and OPS is the operations domain responsible for keeping infrastructure reliable. FreeBSD is a stable BSD system often used on servers and networks, and bsdops.com is a company focused on FreeBSD, Linux, and DevOps.
BSD = Berkeley Software Distribution ---------------------------------- A family of Unix-like operating systems originating from the University of California, Berkeley. Best-known variants: - FreeBSD - OpenBSD - NetBSD OPS / Operations ---------------- OPS = Operations (IT Operations) A team or function responsible for: - server maintenance - networks - production systems - availability, backups, monitoring
Few people realize FreeBSD shows up in everyday tech. Here are a few verified examples:
PlayStation 4
Sony's PS4 open-source notice lists the FreeBSD kernel and FreeBSD tools (fsck/newfs).
Netflix OCA
Open Connect Appliances run on FreeBSD; Netflix lists FreeBSD as the OCA operating system.
pfSense
pfSense (a popular firewall/router distribution) is based on FreeBSD.
Foundation
The FreeBSD Foundation is funded by donations; 2025 partners include NetApp, Arm, Netflix, AMD, Microsoft, Google.

About
Now that bsdops is explained, here is a short introduction to the company and the person behind it.
My name is Michał Jędrzejczak and I have used BSD systems for 20+ years — for many years I worked as a FreeBSD administrator.
In recent years I work more with Linux systems (market demand), but this site is still served by reliable FreeBSD.
I have worked remotely as an IT administrator/DevOps for over 15 years.
In short: I combine long-term BSD experience with hands-on Linux/DevOps practice, focusing on reliability, automation, and remote delivery.

After hours
Hobby projects built with the help of AI.
An AI-based project that aims to add a landing-page overlay for aftermarekt.pl. As a hobby, together with AI, we hunt expired domains (mostly .pl) and offer them for sale.
One of the after-hours projects is the platform domeny.forsale — domains for sale and SEO landing pages , where I test automation, expired-domain analysis, and hands-on SEO practices.
