Hello, I am trying to create a Windows VM but I need to boot from my own file. Originally I had it in VHDX format, but using qemu-img I now have it in .img and .vhd formats as well. I managed to create a virtual machine which booted with the help of cbsd and this video FreeBSD: Bhyve with UEFI...

Anyone having luck getting AlmaLinux 9.5 to run under bhyve on FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 using vm-bhyve 1.6? I had a 9.4 instance running fine (installed as a 9.3 about a year ago with a number of dnf upgrades in that time). Last upgrade was to go from 9.4 to 9.5 and that stopped working about a...

Hello all! I have set up the following environment: vmrun.sh -d disk.img -t tap0 -G 1234 thevm Then I have moved to where I have the kernel compiled and ran gdb from there. In the VM, I have also run dtrace -n 'fbt:kernel:vtnet_tick:entry' And I can see that it fires regularly. The...

I came across this line on the wiki for Windows on bhyve, which I apparently forgot somewhere along the way... From https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows: Can somebody clarify the reason for this, and what the the failure mode looks like--what can occur if this rule is not followed? How...

Hi, I am setting up a very simple FreeBSD hypervisor in my homelab mainly for learning purpose as I am new to FreeBSD, Bhyve and ZFS. - The host is pretty small: 12Gb of RAM and 500Gb of disk - I opted for a very simple setup for now: ZFS with one disk and one zpool (zroot). - I use vm-bhyve -...

Hello, I am doing kernel development and would like to debug my version of the kernel. Can I do that with the help of debugger and bhyve, to run in a containerized environment? Thanks.

I understand that this might not be viewed very favorably, but I couldn't really find much about this. I read a few threads on this Forum about USB/IP but there doesn't seem to be much support for the protocol on BSD? I'm trying to create a VM to which most of my USB ports will be passed...

Hi there. I've created a Alpline VM using Bhyve. I'm using WLAN0 so I am using NAT. My problem is the host and VM can ping each other but the VM can't see the Internet. I've setup the network with: ifconfig bridge create name natif up ifconfig tap0 create up ifconfig natif addm tap0 ifconfig...

Hello all, wondering if someone more experienced can lend me a hand to figure out why my VMs don't have access to a vlan network when the tagging is being done by the guest OS instead of router (ingress/egress). I have a somewhat simple setup router ---- igb0 ---- pub-br0 ---- vm100 router =...

I am in the process of moving off of Proxmox and into FreeBSD 14.1 / bhyve for my home vm server. (Using vm-bhyve) I have noticed that Windows 11 guests seem to use considerably more cpu resources at idle than my Linux, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2022 VMs. I have 1 migrated W11 VM, and 1...

Hello. I'm preparing to manage few VMs under FreeBSD bhyve, and focusing on implementing a good set of PF rules on the main host machine. I wanted to ask for your opinions, is it wise to have a rule like; pass in/out quick on vm-publicswitch all (vm-publicswitch containing all the IP ranges...

I wanted to share my experiences from bhyve GPU passthrough with Windows 10 guest. Many tutorials covered the most of the steps I needed to get it working but there were a few details which I wanted to write down and share with the community. I hope that this post helps others struggling to get...

I'm trying to set up "vnet" jailed bhyve VMs which can talk to each other. Below is my jail .conf file: jailname100 { $if = 100; exec.prestart = "/sbin/ifconfig epair${if} create up"; exec.prestart += "/sbin/ifconfig epair${if}a up"; exec.prestart += "/sbin/ifconfig epair${if}a name...

I'm trying to run a VM inside bhyve and it needs to be accesible by VNC. So, I added the following: -s 29,fbuf,tcp=172.16.0.1:10100,w=1200,h=860 -s 30,xhci \ And upon trying to install the OS, I got the following error: fbuf frame buffer base: ... socket: Protocol not supported Device...

Does PCI Passthrough to a jailed bhyve VM work, for the latest version - FreeBSD 14.1? I know PCI passthrough works for bhyve VMs. But does it work if the bhyve VM is inside a jailed? How do I configure that?

Hello. As a continuation of bug #278941, I decided to create a new bug report, because... the problem is broader in nature. # uname -a FreeBSD home 13.2-RELEASE-p11 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p11 releng/13.2-n254665-f5ac4e174fdd MYGENERIC amd64 I work with bhyve virtual machines via vm-bhyve. But I...
