You can use cloud images to create virtual machines. The vm img
command will download the image to datastore and uncompress it if needed (.xz, .tar.gz, and .gz files are supported). The image should be in RAW or QCOW2 format. To use this feature you'll need install qemu
or qemu-devel
package:
pkg install qemu
To launch FreeBSD using official cloud image:
vm img https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/14.0-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw.xz
vm create -t freebsd-zvol -i FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw freebsd-cloud
vm start freebsd-cloud
vm-bhyve has basic support for providing cloud-init configuration to the guest. You can enable it with -C
option to vm create
command. You can also pass public SSH key to be injected into the guest with option -k <file>
. To use cloud-init install cdrkit-genisoimage
package:
pkg install cdrkit-genisoimage
Example:
vm img https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/noble/current/noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
vm create -t ubuntu-cloud -i noble-server-cloudimg-amd64.img -C -k ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ubuntu-server
vm start ubuntu-server
