It needs a bunch of tools mostly installed on base system and some installed from ports/packages. Currently it supports amd64 and aarch64. The main goal is to be a desktop user application to easily and quickly setup and run virtual machines on the FreeBSD host.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"832\" height=\"698\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/08a90ae3-23b6-4519-87c9-0d5bb3e1aad1\" /\u003e\n\n# Features\n- virtual machines management\n- create virtual machines from cloud/vm images\n- cloud init and naugeinit initialization support\n- devices management (support almost all bhyve pci devices with some exceptions)\n- dnsmasq support\n- vnc and xfreerdp client support\n- zfs/ufs support\n- raw/zfs volume support\n- bridge/tap support\n- bhyve_config configuration variables support\n- basic sudo/doas support\n- uefi/uboot support only\n- swtpm support\n- ipv4/ipv6 support\n- aarch64 and amd64 support\n- i18n support\n- PF/NAT support\n- and more\n\n# TODO\n- Allow change VM (zfs/ufs) directory to custom ones\n\n# Bhyvemgr dependencies\n## From base system\nbhyve, bhyvectl, bhyveload, chown, chmod, fetch, file, ifconfig, install, kill, kldload, kldstat, makefs, pciconf, pfctl, pgrep, rm, service, sysctl, truncate, xz, zfs and zpool\n## From ports/packages\nbhyve-firmware (sysutils/bhyve-firmware), doas (security/doas) or sudo (security/sudo), qemu-tools (emulators/qemu@tools), swtpm (sysutils/swtpm), vncviewer (net/tigervnc-viewer) and xfreerdp3 (net/freerdp3)\n\n### Network configuration\nbhyvemgr can use two kind of network settings: *Quick network configuration* or *Optimal network configuration*. Choose one of them accord to your own needs. I recommend second one because it permits a complete network management of virtual machines. Take a look at [network configuration guide](https://github.com/alonsobsd/bhyvemgr/wiki/network_config) for details about how use/configure them.\n\n### sudo / doas configuration\n\nbhyve requires root privileges on FreeBSD. To handle these tasks, bhyvemgr uses sudo or doas to mitigate certain security risks. The easiest - but not recommended - way to configure sudo or doas is as follows:\n\nFor sudo, if the user is part of the wheel group. Alternatively, a specific user can be defined instead of the group - replace :wheel with a username, such as acm, for example.\n```sh\n%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\n```\nFor doas, if the user is part of the wheel group. Alternatively, a specific user can be defined instead of the group - replace :wheel with a username, such as acm, for example.\n```sh\npermit nopass :wheel\n```\nOtherwise, if you panic, use the following:\n\nFor sudo, if the user is part of the wheel group\n```sh\n%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL\n%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/bhyve, /usr/sbin/bhyvectl, /bin/chmod, /usr/sbin/chown, /sbin/ifconfig, \\\n                        /usr/bin/install, /bin/kill, /sbin/kldload, /sbin/pfctl, /usr/bin/pgrep, /bin/rm, \\\n                        /usr/sbin/service, /sbin/zfs\n```\nFor doas, if the user is part of the wheel group\n```sh\npermit keepenv :wheel\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/sbin/bhyve\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/sbin/bhyvectl\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /bin/chmod\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/sbin/chown\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/ifconfig\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/bin/install\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /bin/kill\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/kldload\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/pfctl\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/bin/pgrep\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /bin/rm\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /usr/sbin/service\npermit keepenv nopass :wheel as root cmd /sbin/zfs\n```\n\n# Run bhyvemgr for the first time\nWhen bhyvemgr starts in the first time, this will create a initial config file. It is mandatory to review, modify (if it is necessary) and press **Save settings** button from of **Settings form** the first time\n\n\u003cimg width=\"512\" height=\"189\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f8c526bf-1036-4a7f-ae98-52cfa95ae10b\" /\u003e\n\n\u003cimg width=\"811\" height=\"564\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/beac6634-d779-4177-8689-773e076ea1e3\" /\u003e\n\n# Demo\n\n### On FreeBSD aarch64\n\n[![bhyvemgr aarch64](https://img.youtube.com/vi/PagnKjWE_Uw/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PagnKjWE_Uw)\n\n### On FreeBSD amd64\n\n[![bhyvemgr amd64](https://img.youtube.com/vi/B-GPRHfnZsc/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-GPRHfnZsc)\n\n[Bhyvemgr Wiki](https://github.com/alonsobsd/bhyvemgr/wiki) contains guides about how use bhyvemgr in some use cases.
