== Introduction ==

We'll Install [https://ubuntu.com Ubuntu] in [https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve vm-bhyve].

== Prerequisites ==

[[Set up vm-bhyve in FreeBSD| Properly configured vm-bhyve running on FreeBSD]]. All commands below run as root.

== Fetch image ==

Fetch the [https://cloud-init.io | Cloud Init] image:

 vm img http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/focal/current/focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img

== Create VM ==

 vm create -c 16 -m 32G -t linux-zvol -i focal-server-cloudimg-amd64.img -C -k ~aram/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ubuntu

Adjust the number of CPUs and memory to taste. A maximum of 16 vCPUs is currently supported in bhyve.

== Start the VM ==

 vm start ubuntu

== Log-in ==

Determine the IP and log-in:

 ssh ubuntu@192.168.0.19

Sadly vm-bhyve doesn't have any way of querying the IP, you need to search the DHCP logs or use ARP.

Complete the installation by following the [[Ubuntu Linux Post Install Steps]].

== Enable autostart ==

Make sure the VM is listed in <code>vm_list</code> in <code>/etc/rc.conf</code>.

 vm_list="ubuntu vm1 vm2 ..."
