Hi Paul,

thanks for the videos, they are looking great.

some feedback:
Do keep the small mistakes like typoes or similar in the video. It's always
interesting to see how people correct the errors.

In the first video the left side of the terminal was slightly cut out. Not
too much though.

In the second video your webcam footage is partly blocking the view. Maybe
split the right side vertically with tmux?

Looking forward to more of your videos.


Br,

Tommi

I've found that the big distros (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu) work very
well with bhyve's UEFI support. It has been years since I used either
bhyveload or grub-bhyve.

CentOS does need a little massaging, renaming GRUBx64.efi to
BOOTx64.efi or something like that. I can never remember off-hand. But
other than renaming a file, Linux works great. :)

very entertaining. some notes:

note that rc.local is executed by the "." command from the /bin/sh instance 
that runs /etc/rc.d/local, and so, #! isn't relevant there, nor is "chmod +x".

net.link.ether.inet.proxyall is documented in arp(4) and just means don't drop 
arp requests about addresses that aren't local. i prefer to let the bhyve 
guests answer for themselves, which they'll do, because the arp request is 
sent to the all ones address, and thus reaches all the guests.

i do not use daemon -r for bhyve, because it ignores the the exit status. if 
bhyve exits with 0 i want to loop (recreate bhyve), if it's nonzero i want it 
to exit (poweroff, shutdown, or kernel panic). according to bhyve(8):

you might be planning to explain how you interpret these exit statuses in the 
shell script you run from daemon, which in turn starts bhyve. however, it 
looks as if daemon -r only avoids the restart loop if it receives a SIGTERM, 
and i don't know how you'll deliver that. my /etc/rc.local script looks like 
this:

i'll give it a try. testing this particular path requires a reboot, and the 
system is otherwise running in production... so give me a day or two.

What does the invocation look like?

Does this work:
printf "\n" | grub-bhyve ...your-stuff-here...

As an alternative, you can now use the UEFI_CSM firmware for bhyve, and
it'll boot from the boot blocks inside the VM, like xen/kvm/qemu/virtualbox

Thanks for the tip!

I will look at ubuntu (the most modern), cenos7, howto start bhyve on boot
(with nothing but daemon) and win-server 2016 as the default set then!

Unless any more suggestions come in :)

i have no exotic linuxes, but two fairly modern debians. i remain mystified by 
the behaviour of grub-bhyve, which usually fails (no meaningful error message) 
and seems like won't run from /etc/rc.local (must be run from a shell.) so, 
one of my bhyve servers can't restart automatically, and i don't know why. and 
i recently saw that the grub-bhyve package now lacks a maintainer, and may be 
removed.

what this means is, a video on running linux in a bhyve would be appreciated.

because of the internal container boundaries of windows 10 and server 2016, i 
won't run anything older. so if you're doing a windows server on bhyve video, 
i would want it to be 2016.

Great idea!

Make sure to add your YT channel to this wiki page:

Thank you kindly, added!

I named my channel 'viBSD' someone else had to have called theirs 'iBSD' :)
