Hi, Host machine: FreeBSD 14.0 Got two bhyve VMs; OpenBSD 7.4 VM and FreeBSD 14 VM. Tried to have a network test from host machine to both VMs with iperf3, the results were interesting. From host machine to FreeBSD VM: FreeBSD VM brings a speed of; Transfer: 7.07 GBytes - Bitrate: 6.08...

Hi all, today I've learned and been reading about VETHER(4). Virtual ethernet interface on FreeBSD, wanted to try it for my VMs networking, activated it as such; pkg install -y net/vether-kmod kldload if_vether ifconfig vether0 create ifconfig vether0 10.0.0.1/24 up My VMs currently are...

Hello BSD fellows, I'm trying to set a new host server and configure several OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Windows VMs (all UEFIs), under FreeBSD 14 and vm-bhyve package. Currently I'm trying to learn parameters in .conf files. I wonder what are the most important "bhyve_options" switches for UEFI VMs...

I created a ng_bridge with link0 and link1 connected to my physical devices lower and upper. I then created a bhyve VM with a netgraph virtio-net device that is connected to link2. Here is `ngctl dot` to help visualize it: Here is ngctl commands I issued: msg re0: setpromisc 1 msg re0...

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 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...
