Hi there,
I have a server with minimal disk space. is there a way to build from
ports without downloading ports or only downloading what is needed for
the build and then it is removed?
Cheers,
Noah

You're describing the default behavior of ports-- it only downloads

That is technically possible but it's usually a lot easier to mount

Not directly.
But you can install pre-built packages instead. The only downside in that
case is that you cannot choose

But why go to all this trouble? Disk space is cheap these days,
why not add an extra disk? If you don't have space in the
chassis, consider using an external USB disk for /usr/ports.
Sometimes ... because the machine hardware is not under your
control.

There's a howto here:

You could:
1) build packages on another machine or cluster, and then install the
packages via a remote
