RE: https://mastodon.social/@emaste/116597496244280489We 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 <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tk0eja/we_booted_debian_and_freebsd_15_using_qemu/> – 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. …＂#FreeBSD #bhyve #QEMU #Linux #Debian @freebsd SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU - FreeBSD Wiki — <https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU>Cc @stefano @dexter @seanwbruno @dch

Happy to share that #BoxyBSD remains up!Recently I got asked about my @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe project, which offers free VPS instances of vary #BSD based systems for learning and educational purposes and I'm happy to share that this projects remains available. Several things could finally be clarified to continue this service to make sure people can learn and practice on real #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD systems to #RUNBSD. Also, BoxyBSD starts moving over to #Sylve on #bhyve.But not only that! We could also get some more new resources and locations to scale and this also brings up another new project for #free Linux #VPS instances at https://boxedtux.com (Fedi: @BoxedTux@mastodon.social) where people will be able to learn and practice on different #Linux based distributions (e.g., #Debian, #Ubuntu, #Rocky,...). BoxedTux utilizes #Proxmox clusters as a foundation.Hope you like this small update... Over & out!#freeVPS #VPS #VM #Hosting #education #learning #learningplatform #service #opensource #BoxedTux

@stefano Aren't it a bit late? For friday night? :)

@grahamperrin this looks interesting!Cc: @FreeBSDFoundation

Finally getting back to my 72-disk draid bhyve VM for #openzfsmastery. Turns out that setting ahci_device_limit="8" in the vm-bhyve config let it boot just fine.Thank you everyone for your suggestions, but especially @dch for this one!

@raven bhyve is great, even though 20 years late to the party but in way, right on time. :)

I really love to see #Sylve in #FreeBSD allowing us to define CPU pinning with #bhyve! That's a missing piece in other "major" solutions... Well done!#virtualization #proxmox #opensource #alternatives

Started to touch FreeBSD jail and Bhyve VMs, using them for some programming project. Damn, if only I have such unlimited power near 15 years ago, when I was in university!Need to have a building environment with some libraries for FastCGI and PostgreSQL installed? No problem, write a Bastillefile which enables sshd and mounts my catalog with projects inside the jail via the nullfs magic. Then create thin jail, apply this template to it and boom — I have a ready development environment with ssh access and all necessary stuff. Just connect to it and build the program, all necessary sources are already here.Need to test program on the NetBSD? No problem — just create Bhyve VM with preinstalled netbsd template, then install OS with comp set and setup some services: Nginx, PostgreSQL, spawn-fcgi, etc… Then type C-x d /ssh:drag0n@10.0.0.2:~ in the Emacs, copy sources via Dired and I can test my program on the environment, as close as possible to the my home server.All things looks so integrated in the OS and console software are so good, that it is incomparable with my Docker trips at work When programming become fun again #FreeBSD #bhyve #Bastille
