bhyve

First look at the working MVP of 'bhyve-qt' (QT6-based frontend for bhyve (and jails ;-)): View: https://youtu.be/N9TDelWfDbc alpha 0.3 build available for FreeBSD 14.0: https://www.bsdstore.ru/qt/freebsd/bhyve-qt alpha 0.3 build available for Debian 12...

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...

Hello I am trying to get working an Ubuntu cloud image passing data-source information throught SMBIOS serial field, I am using vm-bhyve to manage my virtual machines, the steps that I have followed are the following: vm create -c 2 -m 2G -s 15G -t linux-zvol -i...

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...

The main host is FreeBSD 13, I created a VM to run FreeBSD and have Poudriere on it, for this, I am using vm-bhyve, here is the config of the VM: loader="bhyveload" cpu=8 memory=32G network0_type="virtio-net" network0_switch="public" disk0_type="virtio-blk" disk0_name="disk0"...

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 decided to post a simple working setup from my FreeBSD box to help others that were struggling to find a working system to learn from like I was. This isn't meant to be an end-all solution but rather a reference and learning opportunity and I would gladly accept help and suggestions on how to...

Hi, I have successfully setup NAT on pf with this in /etc/pf.conf file: nat on wlan0 inet from 10.1.1.0/24 to any -> (wlan0) round-robin I am now trying to achieve the same what is available out of the box on VirtualBox - port forwarding. For example one of my Bhyve virtual machines is...

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...

I installed FreeBSD 13-2 RELEASE in a bhyve vm, I wanted to install Poudriere but many ports failed with error like: !!! Jail is newer than host. (Jail: 1302505, Host: 1302001) !!! !!! This is not supported. !!! !!! Host kernel must be same or newer than jail. !!! !!! Expect build failures...

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...

So, I know that network doesn't work with bhyve and wifi, I'm using a lagg (wlan0 + em0) setup. But does anyone here was able to make jails+vnet work with wifi(in a lagg setup)?

Hello, I have a question. I would like to run a virtual machine in bhyve HomeAssistant OS. However, I would like this virtual machine to be on the same subnet as the LAN network (hq0). I used the following solution, but something is not working. The DHCP server is dnsmasq (the DHCP interface is...

As you might know, OpenVMS x86 for hobbyist [1] is out since a ~week. Bhyve is not a supported Virtualisation-platform but we have in theory everything need, like AHCI, UEFI , COM-Ports and the E1000-nic. So of curse I tried it but with no success, it hangs at the VMS-UEFI-Bootmanager. Had...
