Consensus clients for Ethereum

[Asstragal]

Hello does anyone know if there are any consensus clients for Ethereum available a pkg?
I tried the following:

Lighthouse, although in rust, is uncompilable due to lack of support for FreeBSD OS - hardcoded limitations and checks.
prysm just goes dumb and says nothing when I try the beacon mode.

lodestar is typescript and takes a lot of disk space - not tested and java based clients (teku) are not something anyone should run for security reasons. I still downloaded it but do not wish to install java.
I have not tried Nimbus - don't even know that lang.

Does anyone have any experience here running any consensus clients for ethereum?

what can we do? There is literally not a single working eth consensus client for FreeBSD

For Lighthouse, the whole Rust build thing can be a pain if your toolchain isn’t up to date. I had to run rustup update and mess around with cargo build --release -j1 to avoid random errors.
Prysm’s beacon mode acting weird sounds familiar. It’s super picky about flags and configs, so double-checking those might help. Nimbus could be an option too—it’s not as scary as it sounds once you get into it.
Also, when I was trying to get a node running for more than just testing, I found that using crypto intelligence tools alongside the client made things way easier.
If all else fails, spinning up a container or VM might save you a ton of frustration. FreeBSD doesn’t make it easy, but it’s doable with some persistence (and maybe a few choice curse words).
