Hah I'm your mirror version -- my linux machines are all VMs running on FreeBSD hosts!
replyIs bhyve working well for you? Maybe I'll try that in my next rev of my home lab.
replyOh you use bhyve?
replyI've tried to use it but I dound it pretty difficult for systems that need a GUI. Maybe I should revisit.
Yep, most of my linuxes are headless -- but I do have a VM which I pass a graphics card through to for games and ai stuff though -- works really well (as long as you don't reboot the VM, it has a hard time attaching to the gfx card the second time for some reason, not looked into it much)
replysysutils/vm-bhyve makes it quite friendly.
I wouldn't use it for work, though, just personal. Work is all enterprisey kubernetes stuff.
Edit: there is a 'proxmox-like' for FreeBSD out [0] -- I did try it on a couple machines and couldn't get the network working, but consoles seemed to work.. Kinda.
Ah I don't really have a second GPU to dedicate to it though. A virtual console like in VMware or QEMU/KVM would be great. Thanks for the heads-up about sylve! I'll check it out.
replyFor me it's all personal too. For work we still use VMWare a lot.
