Install Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS in vm-bhyve
Contents
Introduction
We'll Install Ubuntu in vm-bhyve.
Prerequisites
Properly configured vm-bhyve running on FreeBSD. All commands below run as root.
Fetch image
Fetch the | Cloud Init image:
vm img http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
Create VM
vm create -c 4 -m 8G -t linux-zvol -i bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img -C -k ~aram/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ubuntu
Adjust the number of CPUs and memory to taste.
Start the VM
vm start ubuntu
Log-in
Determine the IP and log-in:
ssh ubuntu@192.168.0.27
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 vm_list in /etc/rc.conf.
vm_list="ubuntu vm1 vm2 ..."
