bhyve inside a jail sounds like a stunt. It isn’t.

FreeBSD has supported it since 12.0, and it turns the hypervisor into one more manageable jail: delegated ZFS, VNET, vm-bhyve, devfs rules and all.

Here is my complete production setup, including the security caveats

          Nice surprise that when downloading update from an EU mirror, I found actually seem to achieve a much faster connection speed on my Intel 8260 adapter than using the driver and downloading from a US mirror on the same continent. Although it is not as stable on Haiku as it failed multiple times.

                          Toying around with the window manager on . It feels so magic when you can group different application windows together as tabs, as shown in my screenshot where two windows and a share the same window frame as three separate tabs. This is also what I found fascinating about and . also has something similar I think. And again thanks boot environments, I cannot say this enough.

                              I tried on a nearly vanilla and it builds too, though I have no idea how to launch since there is no manual pages or doc. However on even after I installed dependencies it still is raising error. Seems the code is not compatible with FreeBSD without modification.

Saw it yesterday from a screenshot someone shared in a reddit commend and the 'grouping' feature caught my eye. Unfortunately it is not in and I failed to compile myself even after installing a few dependencies I could find. The repo did not mention a lot on how to install either.

                                                      A couple of days ago, few hours before leaving home for a four days trip I decide to upgrade one of my home servers to FreeBSD 15.1. Nothing difficult.

                                                      After upgrade the machine start rebooting in a loop. I pick up my serial cable and see the boot process crash when mounting ZFS

                                                      panic: zfs(panic): zfs: rt={spa=zroot vdev_guid=546977716602668702 ms_id=9 ms_freed}: adding segment (offset=2431c0000 size=1000) overlapping with existing one (offset=2431c0000 size=1000)

                                                      😬 that's terrible.
                                                      I relay on this machine to access my nextcloud where all my trip tickets are stored.

                                                      Hopefully ZFS saves my day!

                                                      I was able to boot back to the previous snapshot, and smoothly restore the service, but I probably need to start thinking in a replacement for this machine....
