without any additional tuning but with an SSD connected via USB
and 4GB swap on that I was able to compile with -j4 and a mostly CPU
bound system.

Thanks everyone for your valuable hints. Guess I will subscribe to
-arm, since there are some more rough edges compared to "just put a
Debian or Ubuntu image on it".

And then I wonder what workload I can put on a seven-node FreeBSD
cluster, since it won't be k8s, obviously. Let's start with Ceph, I guess.

Kind regards
