bhyve management poll

[BobC]

Hi everyone,

For those who use bhyve, do you use a "management framework" for bhyve too?

For example, iohyve, chyves, by hand/none, something else?

vm-byve is not actual option?

 

[SirDice]

Yeah, you're missing sysutils/vm-bhyve.

BobC Is is okay when I reset the poll and add sysutils/vm-bhyve and sysutils/cbsd?

 

[bvansomeren]

I set them up using Ansible. My needs are pretty modest (mostly just a few Linux machines I've yet to migrate)

+1

cbsd all day long. jails and bhyve.

Using chyves on a workstation at work to run a CentOS 7 guest. I tried a few but found the instructions for chyves resulted in a working system while the others did not - though I fully suspect that the others didn't work because of my own dimwittedness

By request... added a few more options and "extended" the poll. IMHO it's interesting to see what people use... thanks for all the responses.

I use sysutils/bhyve-rc it was minimalist and easy to configure.

This is very interesting to me what tools are here. cbsd seems incredible but this seems a one man project no ?

I'm not 100% sure but I do believe you are correct.

 

[aragats]

none is confusing, if I use simple shell scripts, is it none or something else?
I've voted by choosing none...

By all appearances and judging by the commits. This is also true for ezjail and qjail project. But the CBSD developer still is quite active. He is also one of developers of the new bhyve-related project: ClonOS

 

[SirDice]

I'd much rather have a project with one person that knows what he's doing than a whole team of people with average skills

 

[Farhan Khan]

I use none, but that is only because most guides go with raw bhyve. I would prefer if the community standardized around a single system.

Nah, I think it's good there are several different implementations. Not everybody wants the same features or expects/needs the same things. So by having multiple you actually have a choice to pick the one that best fits your needs.
