Vintage Story Server on FreeBSD

[Morggin]

Good afternoon, 

I'm going to be putting together a new server and I'm considering installing FreeBSD.  Has anyone tried running Vintage Story Server on FreeBSD yet?

I tried by installing dotnet8 and changing the VintagestoryServer.runtimeconfig.json to use version 8, but it looks like it tries using some 32bit libraries, I tried searching for 'kernel32.dll' on my linux server running a server, but couldn't find the file? Heres the error from running it:

I also saw in another post (Linux distros/configurations under which VS is known to run) that openBSD has the same issue by CaffinatedCoder

Completely broken on OpenBSD. Attempts to load 32-bit libraries instead of 64-bit libraries. Server is also broken on OpenBSD for similar reasons as far as I can tell, but gets a bit further.

Vintagestory version 1.20.5

If you want to run it on FreeBSD now, I would look into using the Linux Compatibility layer
