FreeBSD + bhyve is soooo good! I can even run homeassistant. Can't come up with reasons to move back to proxmox or any Linux server

@espoleto Interesting question, are you able to do CPU pinning with Bhyve? Asking because I'm looking at building a new system with the Intel P/E cores and having the ability to pin not as important VMs to the Efficiency cores would be ideal

Hey @blake , I am not using this feature, to be honest , I didn't even know it was possible

My homelab is quite small, I run homeassistant, nextcloud, jellyfin, nfs, searxng and simply set 2-4 cpus for each VM

@espoleto No worries! I did a little Googling after I asked and found this, so it does appear possible!

@espoleto I love #FreeBSD and generally prefer it. But I have one application that needs USB-pass through — I cannot pass through the entire PCI USB controller as it’s needed for other things. Without USB pass through I can’t run #bhyve .

@espoleto I'm using it on the desktop too, hosting some Linux stuff required for $DAYJOB. Works a treat, and NFS shares on the VM mount locally for great Emacs experiences. Last remaining thing is tunneling LSP - just need to persuade Eglot not to try to start a new LSP server.

@duncan_bayne I am more of a neovim guy but I hear you! At work I have a Mac but I do run UTM with Linux VM for my peace of mind. Maybe it's time to switch to FreeBSD too

@espoleto Honestly it's great. I still keep a Linux drive around for gaming and media - but as soon as I've sorted out the sound issue in Widevine on FreeBSD it'll only be gaming 😁

If you're interested, my setup scripts are at:

@duncan_bayne Your FreeBSD setup folder is almost a Blog article, quite self explanatory, extremely useful, thank you so much :blobfoxaww:

@espoleto Bear in mind I'm still tweaking it for 14.1. It's probably a bit buggy still.

@espoleto In particular the Widevine setup "works" but produces no sound 😔 So I'm definitely wiring something up wrong, but have no idea what.

@jan hmm.. this weekend I can try to create a fresh install and perhaps I can send you the disk image?

Or at least take precise notes of my steps

@espoleto …but it works after new vm create … too stupid I forgot to install the dependencies.

Because I already had a network bridge for my VNET jails I had to do:

vm switch create -t manual -b bridge0 public

to create the bridge. HASS is now initialising :)
