Quick instructions for setting up an Ubuntu VM on a FreeBSD host with the bhyve hypervisor using the vm-bhyve tool.

freebsd_bhyve.md

1. Edit /etc/rc.conf

cloned_interfaces="bridge0 tap0 tap1 tap2 lagg0"
ifconfig_bridge0="addm lagg0 addm tap0 addm tap1 addm tap2"
vm_list="unifi zm1 grafana"

2. Create a tap for grafana, and add it to the bridge.

ifconfig tap2 create
ifconfig bridge0 addm tap2

3. Edit the template to use the new tap

#  /bhyve/.templates/ubuntu.conf
loader="grub"
cpu=2
memory=1024M
network0_type="virtio-net"
network0_switch=""
disk0_type="virtio-blk"
disk0_name="disk0"
disk0_dev="sparse-zvol"
network0_device="tap2"

4. Create the VM with a 16G disk

ls /bhyve/.iso
vm create -t ubuntu -s 16G grafana
vm install grafana ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso

5. Install via console.

vm console grafana
