BSD Cafe Billboard

@dexter have fun there!

Shifting from #Proxmox to #Sylve (on #FreeBSD + #bhyve) including #Ansible automation!When talking about open-source virtualization platforms, Proxmox VE is probably one of the first solutions that comes to mind. It combines KVM virtual machines, LXC containers, storage, networking and clustering behind a convenient management interface.But what if you want to build the same kind of environment on FreeBSD?This is exactly where Sylve becomes interesting.https://gyptazy.com/blog/sylve-freebsd-ansible-module-automation/#freebsd #ansible #automation #cicd #bsd #runbsd

The recording of the July 30th, 2026 #bhyve Production User Call is up:https://youtu.be/n1TEmv-6ZcIWe discussed Eurobhyvecon during EuroBSDcon, #FreeBSD Chromebook CoreBoot and UEFI support, migrating to Sylve, a new utility to save and restore PCI state, Intel CPUs and the vmap_pfn() bug, and more!"Don't forget to slam those Like and Subscribe buttons."You can support all Call For Testing efforts via BSD Fund: https://bsdfund.orgThis content is not AI generated

A decade or so in the making, Call For Testing is offering CFT and #bhyve SWAG online using the Latvian Printful platform:https://cft.printful.meOnly U.S. destinations are supported at this time but I am working with the Production User Call team to fix that via fancy API integration.But you would know that if you attended this week’s calls!️

@hnygd@mastodon.africa @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe unfortunately this hasn’t made its way to a public repo yet

Most nodes at @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe are now operated by #bhyve on #FreeBSD via #Sylve again! Thanks to @hayzam@bsd.cafe for his incredible work by crafting #Sylve! As it’s not that easy to drain nodes to be reinstalled with FreeBSD, there’re still nodes serving VPS instances via #Proxmox / #KVM.#RUNBSD #VPS #freevps #opensource #community

RE: https://mastodon.social/@emaste/116597496244280489We booted Debian and FreeBSD 15 using QEMU accelerated with bhyve/vmm for the first time. This is an epic milestone for the FreeBSD community and beyond ! : r/freebsd <https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tk0eja/we_booted_debian_and_freebsd_15_using_qemu/> – Mario Zio.＂Further development is needed...a lot of development...but anyway this is a storic moment....we can use another hypervisor. This time in cooperation with the storic and mature QEMU. FreeBSD is second to none.This success has been possible thanks to the competence of Abhinav Chavali who started this project for the GSOC 2025 ; thanks bro.It's built on top of dumrich's work. …＂#FreeBSD #bhyve #QEMU #Linux #Debian @freebsd SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU - FreeBSD Wiki — <https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2025Projects/VMMAcceleratorSupportForQEMU>Cc @stefano @dexter @seanwbruno @dch
