  1. Virtualization is a turbulent topic. Enterprises use enterprise systems. What can the small businesses do? Bhyve is a strong system for them.

  3. New on the blog: my Home Assistant setup on FreeBSD.

    Home Assistant OS runs in a bhyve VM, but bhyve has no USB passthrough, so Zigbee2MQTT and Mosquitto live in a VNET jail with the ConBee II.

    Homematic comes in via a CCU3, and three IKEA Matter-over-Thread devices use my Nanoleaf Shapes controller as their border router.

    Three radio ecosystems, 474 entities, one dashboard.

  8. FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.

    Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.

    Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere

    Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

  13. I got convinced and setting up a standalone server with Freebsd 15.1 as virtual instance server
    Besides the ones I have.

    Install was a bit chunky because I needed wifi for that moment but the ax201 is well supported once the hotspot was online

    This one gets Sylve a jail and bhyve management environment.
    Migrating as much as possible from Proxmox, at least thats the plan

    From yesterday's comment:

    "… this underscores the value of not trusting the first thing that we read …"

    Not exciting, just food for thought.

    Certainly not conclusive. I experiment with the feature very rarely … maybe ten times a year.

  24. RE: mastodon.social/@emaste/116597

    We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd

    <reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/> – Mario Zio.

    "Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.

    This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.

    It's built on top of dumrich's work. …"

  28. So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??

    Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D

    Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

  30. EDIT: it's not the virtio driver. This VM has 1G ram. If increased to 2G, it will boot. It seems it's the intramfs unable to decompress. And it's strange.

    I've just upgraded my Proxmox Backup Server, running inside a bhyve VM on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE, and it now kernel panics as soon as it boots.

    Setup:
    - Host: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
    - Guest Kernel: Linux 7.0
    - NIC: virtio-net

    Workarounds tested:
    - Removing the network device: boots successfully
    - Changing the NIC to e1000: boots successfully

    This seems to point to a virtio-net issue with this kernel under bhyve.

    Has anyone else noticed this?
