View source for Set up iohyve in FreeBSD

[[Category:FreeBSD]]

== Introduction ==

[https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve iohyve] is a bhyve manager for FreeBSD, similar to [https://iocage.readthedocs.io/ iocage].

== Prerequisites ==

Recent enough FreeBSD with ZFS. All commands below run as root.

== Install ==

 pkg install iohyve
 pkg install grub2-bhyve # For non-FreeBSD guests

== Configure ==

 iohyve setup pool=tank1 kmod=1 net=bge0

Adjust ZFS pool and NIC as needed.

Add to rc.conf:

 iohyve_enable="YES"
 iohyve_flags="kmod=1 net=bge0"

== Bugs ==

With non-UEFI guests, iohyve [https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve/issues/305 can't set RTC to UTC]. You need to either [[Configure Linux distributions that use systemd to use local time for RTC|set-up guests to use localtime]], or pass extra parameters to bhyve like this:

 iohyve set ''guest'' bargs=-A_-H_-P_'''-u'''

Iohyve is unmaintained, perhaps try [[Set up vm-bhyve in FreeBSD | vm-bhyve]].
