Did #Russia take more than mobile phone internet offline? Or is bsdstore.ru/ unreachable for other reasons?

I’m really a huge fan of #cbsd and #CloneOS (also committed). But as long as there is no live migration, #bhyve unfortunately keeps „unusable“ in mid- & big sized enterprises. We're not in year 2010 anymore where we can tell customers to take his VM down for maintenances or security updates - especially nowadays where we have major security patches on a weekly base.

I’m aware of the papers and patches, but still no stable support. But my last look at it is also almost a year ago.

Thanks, that looks pretty perfect. But at least on the feature list no live migrations are listed. However, it looks like a great tool next to #cbsd for easy mgmt on cli in #FreeBSD.

Jail app update

The appjail journey ends for now. Spent to much time on various things Promising and easy to initially use. But very difficult to get it running with vnet and accessible jails for the LAN. DHCP works but I cannot set any limits on IP ranges. Config files for jails are on strange locations, no jail.conf to have to all in one place.

So... the journey continues.
I tried Pot, and in no time I got jails running isolated, on my LAN ip range and with selective ports to open.
See pot.pizzamig.dev/

Installation was a breeze, ZFS support, import export and clone is possible.
Templates (so called) flavors) are available:
potluck.honeyguide.net/
A flavour is a template that after creating an empty pot, installs the dependencies and sets settings. Configuration before start is done via pot set-env and some parameters. Easy once you get the heck of it.

Networking is a relief and well documented:
pot.pizzamig.dev/Network/

Support on github is fast.

Example pot based on Freebsd 14.1 on a fixed LAN address:
pot create -p mypot2 -t single -b 14.1 -N alias -i 192.168.3.2 -S ipv4 -f fbsd-update

(the -f is the favor, in this case the update script for freebsd)

So exploration started and who knows what follows?

Yesterday I was giving #CBSD a try (#bhyve + #jail wrapper for #FreeBSD).
After few hours trying + documentation reading + forum browsing, I was not able to «passthru» my GPU. The same task took me only 2 minutes using #BVCP 🤷‍♂️

Also, I was no able to install #OpenBSD, but hopefully it’s not related to CBSD.

Does anyone here have some more details regarding live migrations with #bhyve? Your setup (shared storage, local ZFS,…) and how you perform this (tools [e.g. #cbsd], manually)… just a short high level overview is enough.

Just pushed German translations to #clonos. So, if you’re into #FreeBSD #Jails (#cbsd) and #bhyve - this project might be perfect for you! #ClonOS is something like #Proxmox but on #FreeBSD and especially the live migration part is interesting. Happy to see more contributors there :)

@maulanahirzan Never used #cbsd, but I assume that's irrelevant here as #bhyve is offering the "graphical console" on #vnc itself.

Once you ruled out obvious networking issues (routing, filtering/firewall, ...), just try a different vnc viewer, in my experience, not all of them work with bhyve. #tigervnc (net/tigervnc-viewer) works fine for me.

#ezjail is unfortunately more or less deprecated and not actively maintained anymore. The last release was in 2015. It still works more or less (at least for me and my use cases) but after our last #BSDPub I thought it could not be wrong to have a look at other ones. #cbsd is not brand new but it got my attention by some posts today here in my Fediverse circle. So far, it looks very promising - you can have an interactive look at it on the projects website (https://github.com/run-bhyve/cbsd) or just give it a try on a test vm.

QuickStart:
pkg install cbsd
service cbsdd start
env workdir="/usr/jails" /usr/local/cbsd/sudoexec/initenv
cbsd jconstruct-tui
cbsd jstart 1

Use the tui to get familiar and afterwards you may use it without (if needed).

Puh, after almost 20 years (when version 1.1 got released in 2005) I switched from #ezjail to #cbsd. Feels strange because I always refused to use any other jail manager. But I guess it's time to move on... Btw, also like the TUI if #cbsd.

Have a nice weekend #FreeBSD fans (and of course also everyone else).

#cbsd seems overkill to manage 5-6 #freebsd #jails

Any recommendations that have minimal dependencies? Heard of #BastilleBSD and #Pot. Thoughts?

Central Buck School District in Pennsylvania had culture warriors banning books and picking fights over minorities (and wasting taxpayer money), so local residents took back power by running for the school board: npr.org/2023/11/11/1212185489/

Here's hoping that #CBSD turns blue.

If not... ya know what? I don't want to think about it.

@jcamos @stefano

I have never used it outside my homelab. But you should have a look at #CBSD. I am unsure how far the WebGUI layer is usable, but if you comfortable with TUI, it is quite advanced.

Not sure about what your "Windows" guy may think about working with the shell/terminal all the time. 😉

There is a hosting company in my hometown, that also hosts on Windows Server since 20y or more. *mind blown* Only lately the also use/offer "Linux" hosting.

@train @josh Because I have a feeling that ZFS is better under FreeBSD. And I want to snapshot the VMs with ZFS. I think bhyve is stable enough to go that path. I use CBSD to manage bhyve. github.com/cbsd/cbsd #cbsd

@mingwei not sure about web uis, but there’s #CBSD cbsd.io/ and #BastilleBSD bastillebsd.org/ for straightforward jails management.
