Hello, happy holidays! Trying to configure CPU values for my bhyve VMs but I'm totally stucked; could someone please kindly quickly explain difference between "cpu=", "socket=", "cpu_cores=" and "cpu_threads="? I'm truly confused with all those values. For instance, having a dedicated host...

I recently set up a bhyve vm on my workstation for kernel development and figured others might be able to make use of my notes as well, because it's really quite easy. VM setup Download a FreeBSD disk image, i.e. 13.2-RELEASE if you're running 13.2. This version should match whatever kernel...

Hello, My objective is to protect services on a bhyve host, while allowing traffic to the bhyve guests to pass to them unprocessed, as these each have pf and their own firewall policies. The host running an up-to-date 13-stable. I know ipfw can process both layer 2 and layer 3 traffic, but pf...

I recently upgraded to 13.2-RELEASE-p2 and after rebooting, the debian VM I was running simply stopped working. This is what's in bhyve.log: vm exit[0] reason SVM rip 0x000000001fb54b60 inst_length 2 exitcode 0x7b...

I am not a sysadmin. I have used Linux for a long time and have run multiple servers but I am new to BSD. I have little experience of running containers or VM hosts. I have been running one VM host server (using Proxmox) and some desktop VMs (using Virtmanager) and containerising some desktop...

Hey folks. I have a small hobby website which has been running for the past 15 years. It is a Ruby on Rails application. The architecture is nginx proxying to unicorn which wraps the ruby codebase. There are also a couple Resque processes (leveraging Redis) to handle async jobs which need...

having an issue... Bhyve runs fine by itself. Bastille runs fine by itself. When I try to run them at the same time Bhyve messes up my routing completely. I think it has something to do with Bhyve creating a 2nd bridge and you can't have 2 bridges at once? or I need to add the bhyve bridge to...

I'm trying to wrap my head around how virtual bridges/switches/tap interfaces work under bhyve. I guess I'm doing something fundamentally stupid here (or my understanding of how this works is fundamentally wrong), but please bear with me... I do use bhyve on a few of my machines, but on those I...

There is some writing about running Bhyve within a Jail (testing the opposite). Can you run jails within a Bhyve freebsd instances? I assume yes so, so I spend a few hours messing with a Bhyve FreeBSD I have for testing purposes... Installed a few jails in it and while I can make them...

Hello. I've created a script like the one below to be able to manage my bhye VMs without using wrappers. Actually I use the same pattern for every VM I want to use. Every VM has its own number associated. What changes from one to another is only this line : -s...
