hb-service unsupported on FreeBSD-based platforms (FreeNAS specifically in this case).

[hjdhjd]

hh-service is unsupported on FreeBSD and FreeBSD-derived platforms like FreeNAS.

Title says it all. 😄

• Login to a FreeNAS jail with a working homebridge and homebridge-ui-x installation.
• hb-service install
• ✖ ERROR: This command is not supported on freebsd.

What you’d expect is for the install script to setup all the plumbing needed to start / stop homebridge on startup and on the fly on FreeBSD/FreeNAS platforms.

Logs:
See above.

Environment:

• Node.js Version: 13.10.1
• NPM Version: 6.12.1
• Homebridge Version: 1.1.1
• Homebridge Config UI X Version: 4.23.2
• Operating System: FreeNAS 11.3-U2
• Process Supervisor: pm2 since I hb-service doesn’t support FreeBSD yet. 😄

I'm not sure this is a bug. BSD isn't Linux :)

[hjdhjd]

Fair enough. 😄 The other categories didn’t feel right either...is it an enhancement either? I’m not asking you to make the feature better or different...I’m asking you to make it work. 😄

Any plans to add support?

FreeBSD usage is very low and there are alternatives that work, like pm2.

I'll accept a PR that adds FreeBSD support if anyone is interested in adding this - https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/tree/master/src/bin/platforms
