bhyve

Hi Did someone notice performance degradation of the Bhyve VMs after upgrading to the 12.2? I followed typical flow to upgrade: - freebsd-update upgrade -r 12.2-RELEASE - freebsd-update install - reboot - freebsd-update install - delete all ports installed - portsnap fetch update - install...

I've been using iohyve to help manage bhyve instances for a couple of years, but I'd like to explore other options. Is it safe to run multiple management systems on one host (iohyve in addition to, say, cbsd or vm-bhyve), or is there a strategy for migrating guests from one to another? Is there...

Hello, Is there a way to send key strokes / key inputs to a VM? Thanks :)

As "FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE Release Notes" shows: Does this only support FreeBSD guests? On the following guests with virtio-blk+zvol backends, I tested whether the free space can be reclaimed automatically after deleting some files: 1. FreeBSD 12.2R UFS: Yes 2. FreeBSD 12.2R ZFS: Yes 3. CentOS...

EDIT: 17MAR2021 I would like to make a quick note showing how I solved this. I actually noticed my mistake after reading reading this forum post. I never allowed my vm-bhyve interface vm-public through my firewall. Because my default setting is to simply block everything, my VMs weren't...

I know the scheme like this can be implemented: /-------------------------\ | KVM on Linux Host | | ------------------- | | | FreeBSD guest | | | | ------------- | | | | | bhyve guest | | | | | ------------- | | | ------------------- |...

I am having some difficulty getting vm-bhyve working. Actually, I am having difficulty getting bhyve to work at all, but I opted to try vm-bhyve because it seems easier to use and manage compared to the native tools. I am trying to run a Linux guest (I have tried Ubuntu and Fedora) using...

My scenario: I'm building a home firewall/router on an Intel NUC. Host OS if FreeBSD 12.2 and I installed pfsense in a bhyve guest. I want to build a "router on a stick". I have a managed switch and plugged in my DSL modem into a vlan port. The NUC is connected to a trunk port. I created 2...

After upgrading to 12.2-RELEASE networking is not working for my bhyve VMs. In 11.4, I had daemonized the launching of the VMs using daemon -rft in /etc/rc.local. Oddly in 12.2, the VMs come up and are accessible with VNC but not over the network, and I am unable to browse the web or ping...

Hello. I'm using bhyve on FreeBSD 12.1. but if i start Windows Server 2012 R2 or other vms, It works but it crashes after 1~2 hours automatically. I'm using ZFS. my hdd images are at /root/vms and I made it with truncate -S 32G vm_01.img. bhyve \ -c 3 \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s...

Hello everyone, I am using FreeBSD as a host system and as a guest inside a bhyve-VM. Unfortunately I do no longer have access to the root password of the guest. (Wrote it on a piece of paper and left it in a different country. Due to Corona I cannot go there atm.) The virtual machine is based...

I'm trying to boot a Debian disk image and get it running using bhyve within a jail. When I execute this command (inside the jail): it causes a "vm_create: Device not configured" error. I dived deeper into the vmrun.sh file and inserted the following code: just before: The printout is...

Hello, I'm running a FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE server that hosts few bhyve VMs. The network config is like this: ixl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=e507bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,...> ether ... inet MY.PUBLIC.IP.ADDR netmask 0xffffffc0...

Hello! I have been searching high and low and haven't found a satisfactory answer to my question, so I decided to bring it here and see what advice is out there. Currently this machine is running FreeBSD 12.1 as the daily driver. For my class I need to have a Windows machine. I grabbed a...

Hello I have a 8 core CPU with HT support which gives me 16 threads. Earlier I used VirtualBox and it says "do not assign to a VM more cores than you have physically". I.e. for my case - no more than 8 cores should be assigned to a guest(s). Is it the same for the bhyve? Or I can safely assign...

A few weeks ago, I was new to bhyve and had pretty hard time to install Windows Server 2019 on FreeBSD 12.1R + bhyve. However, I could manage to install it and would like to share the how-to because there's little information available on it. Any suggestions on modification, additional...

Good Evening. :) Are You Web Developer? Working in Computer Service? Got only one IP address? You can start your own hosting server that will expand your offer. Most of important things here are OpenVPN for Jail and bhyve SSH access and HAProxy for SNI extension based routing. Your...

Hello, I'm running some VMs on bhyve and when I'm using top on the host, every VM shows as a bhyve process, is there anyway to get a more precise/informative designation? (note: I'm using sysutils/vm-bhyve to handle/manage my VMs)
