#jailhyve Jailed bhyve helper

This is a proof-of-concept to produce a minimum FreeBSD jail for use with the bhyve hypervisor and the scripts to launch the VM.

You are strongly encouraged to run this on a test system or on a nesting hypervisor such as KVM or VMware.

Hard-Coded Variables

The nic is em0 VM IP is 10.0.0.111

These will be configurable but you probably want to change them for now

Requirements

A bootable disk image in /jailhyve.raw such as a FreeBSD "VM-IMAGE"

A VNC client to view the VM

Usage

sh jailhyve.sh ///

i.e.

sudo mkdir /tmp/jailhyve sudo sh jailhyve.sh /tmp/jailhyve jailhyve

To launch the jailed virtual machine:

sh /tmp/jailhyve/launch-jailed-vm.sh

Boot and view the VM with a VNC client such as TigerVNC:

vncviewer 10.0.0.111:5900

Notes

bhyve(8) errors are logged to error.log

Run the manual-launch.sh script to verify the non-jailed syntax

The bhyve(8) syntax is not de-duplicated, meaning that if you change it, you will want to change it in three places
