Creating a stretched layer-2 network for VMs (running in #bhyve) on #FreeBSD

And a first preparation for upcoming changes at @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe and IPs in locations ;)

Sylve is a new and very promising bhyve and jail manager for FreeBSD - coming with clustering support and a pretty nice and modern web ui which is alike the #Proxmox one. I had a closer look at it... And I'm amazed!

Finally managed to join @dexter@bsd.network’s bhyve call after a long time. Really happy to see that #sylve plays an important role and we can discuss upcoming feature implementations. Things are definitely moving into the right direction with clearly visible progress! Thanks @hayzam@bsd.cafe

We discussed Eurobhyvecon, Sylve updates, a virtualized Windows 11 bug impacting many hypervisors, GPU Pass-Through, a solution to the infamous AMD GPU reset bug, EDK2 updates with user-defined logos, and more!

Thank you @OpenBSDAms and Netzkommune for sponsoring Eurobhyvecon 2025!

as always, highly depends on your personal needs. I'm a huge Proxmox fan, but there're of course several different cool solutions. Next to #Proxmox, I also often use #incus [0] in personal labs but I'm also a huge fan of #XCPng with #Orechstra. #SuseHarvester 's [2] approach is also a great solution (similar to #Platform9) if you want to go into the modern world (in the end, they're also using KVM). If it's just single node, I really would also consider #bhyve on #FreeBSD (maybe even via #ClonOS / #cbsd).
