Following up on both the deploy script and my issues running OpenBSD with virtio drivers. I still am not able to successfully install OpenBSD with the virtio drivers, but I was able to convert from fullvirt to paravirt after I had OpenBSD installed. I published my deploy script on Github: https:/

Strictly speaking there is only a small subset of _Linux_ distros that are supported. To get anything else running you need to manually install them yourself: https://forum.linode.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=12080. But after doing this for a long time, I set up a private ftp server to host filesystem

Is this something special that you had due to being staff or can regular customers order VMs with OpenBSD? I'm a linode customer and would love to run OpenBSD (or FreeBSD, but I do prefer OpenBSD) there. On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 3:22 PM, Phil Eaton wrote: > I have OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) running on

Hi, ok it's not nice to ask general things I got it :( So basically I like to know what kind of Hypervisors are used out there and work for people. With that input I can look more closely into some of the Options and check out if the fit my needs. I was not fully aware that there is a Open

Hi, what exactly is your question? Nowadays OpenBSD runs by default on: - OpenBSD vmm - Xen (HVM modes) - Hyper-V - VMware - KVM - VirtualBox - bhyve - qemu (also aarch64 and others) - sun4v logical domains - ... We have PV drivers for all of them in GENERIC. Reyk > Am 08.03.2017 um 07:07 sch

I have OpenBSD (and FreeBSD) running on Linode VMs (on a KVM host) and it works well enough. I'm more than hazy on the details, but the issue as far as I'm aware is that OpenBSD does not yet have full support for virtio. So I need to use full virtualization for it to recognize my disks and network
