bhyve is on my list to go for, next

😊

but it seems to be complicated in one way: really thin documentation out there. I've been looking around a year ago...

I did not try this, indeed. I'm usually searching in the forums as well, but I never participated in conversations there, so far...

You got hired. I need a working tor-browser within my freebsd-machine with KDE-Desktop - how much do you ask for? 😉

Tor-Browser does not indicate a missing package, but there might be one... I simply cannot track it down .... due to lack of experience...

You need tor-browser? I have tor enabled at system level on a fbsd12 machine working fine. There's a robonuggie step-by-step video on how to enable it natively. From there you can configure firefox to run through it.

This chat is more lively now

(:

Thanks. As I had pointed out already, this is not exactly my intention. I configured one computer like this already: 1 browser carries proxy-information for routing through tor, all others act like a normal system app. Problem: it works most of the time. On other occassions website begin to send me through examination routines, if I'm a bot or block access altogether. What I'd like to achieve instead is just running tor-browser as a standalone, portable linux-app, as this will give more flexibility and optimal functionality. As you mention robonuggie-vids: I think I was even using those achieving this setup from above. Any other hints? I'm assuming Tor-Browser needs another package, but has no error-message-pop-up, when this specific piece of software is missing.

At least not on GUI-level...

Oh, alright. My bad I missed the explanation above (too many msgs last time I checked). When using tor from the system I face the same issue of having to bypass examination routines almost every site I want to enter. Since it was an experiment I didn't dig into it much more. Usually I use the web normally with some addons (noscript, decentraleyes, ublock, etc.) to make (or at least try) trackers and Google away from my searches. I never tried tor as a standalone package in a computer, so I'm afraid I cannot help with that one

Thanks for the explanation of your own approach. You can do yourself a favor, try the tor-browser in a Linux environment and compare the experience with our current setup. It's way smoother. Moreover, I'd like to have all those advantages collected / integrated on one machine. As RAM-usage and available HDD-space are not optimal, I want to avoid using VirtualBox for this.

I'll try. Although from what I'm checking in the forums, it may be more stuff to investigate related to tor in the FBSD field than just achieving a tor-browser install

Anybody luck with FreeBSD on a Chromebook?

The 3rd machine switched from Linux to FreeBSD

If you overinvest in exploration, you end up with too many undeveloped new ideas and too few working products. But if you stick with exploitation, refining and improving on the margins of what you already know, you can easily get stuck in a suboptimal trap while someone else creates something truly new.

No, but i'm interested

I have a chromebook that I’ve never actually turned on, this way there it’s never disappointed me. Best ASUS machine I ever owned

I too would like to think it could do the same thing, but running FreeBSD

No, but i'm interested

I am going to test it this week

Hi folks, I tried to run win10 on virtualbox but it's crashing so often that, you can't install win10pro. I need it for a homework. Does someone has an idea or alternative ?? is bhyve running windows in desktop mode ??? is bhyve stable ???

Try to find and download ready to use vm with preinstalled win10.

Yeap, bhyve is stable

Use cbsd or vm-bhyve

by searching further i find out this wiki : https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/Windows

Can someon confirm me if in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQk6jGJPA_Y where he runs a WIN10 on FreeNAS use bhyve ??

Yeap, bhyve is stable

so happy to read that

Cool, it seems to work, (but the i/o are very slow) @mizhka

Use bhyve nvme or virtio-blk storage drivers

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 does it need a reinstall of the guest machine ??

Yes , its very slow

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 does it need a reinstall of the guest machine ??

Nope, install correct .inf from virtio iso image and uninstall disk in win then reboot

also I just notice that on my zfs zroot/vm the compress is enabled so I will also disable it to see what's happen

It's for virtio-blk. Haven't tried for nvme, it's driver already in win, so just remove disk and reboot could help.

For performance use block device like zfs zvol

yes I did an zfs create zroot/vm ... it's a zfs zvol ?? 𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪

Funny. I had the same experience. Win10 just didn't want to end in a VM. I kept on going. After 2 dozen times of crashes and reboots over a couple of days, the instability went away and didn't come back up to now. This happened to me at the beginning of 2020.

In my case it was Win10Pro.

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 does /dev/zvol/zroot/linuxdisk0 is a disk for windows vm ? or is it also the $vm_dir ??

It was just an example it can be dev/zvol/zroot/windisk0 or any name you wish

u can use zfs rename anytime also 😉

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 thanks

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 could you just show me a config example.. cause I don't understood very well the man about it, and couldn't find some examples... I have tried all combinaison and the vm won't start. I have /dev/zvol/zroot/win0 but i don't know how to connect it in the config : disk0_type="nvme" disk0_name="win0" disk0_dev="zvol"

It looks like vm-bhyve config, i use bare bhyve with "-s3:0,nvme,/dev/zvol/zroot/windisk0"

How's iops now?

I reboot cause the ram don't clean up

I reboot cause the ram don't clean up

you mean bhyvectl destroy vm?

I did some vm stop winguest and the ram doesn't clear

it's worst it disappear

and i had /dev/zvol └── zroot └── win0

disk0_type="virtio-blk" disk0_name="/dev/zvol/zroot/win0" disk0_dev="custom"

ok it's ok

i read it too quickly and finally replace virtio-blk with ahci-hd

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 it seems to be faster, thanks

it's worst it disappear

You need to use https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.iso during installation to use virtio-blk or scsi

Or just use nvme instead virtio-blk

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 I could'nt tell if nvme is faster than ahci-hd

hmm finally it seems that nvme is faster than ahci-hd

Hi again, how do you manage the switch to connect vm in bridge

I tried as mention in the man

But I don't understand why I can't have the connection inside my vm

em0 is working on my host and the tap0 was created. Inside my win10 the ethernet is recognize but ethernet to internet is not working

Hi again, how do you manage the switch to connect vm in bridge

It depends. One of approach is a nat where bridge is a gateway.

𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕣𝕚𝕪 finally i load some kernel module as bridgesvp if_bridge ... And I also reboot the all computer. And when my wlan0 is down the bridge works perfectly on em0 !!

Hii I want to know can I use freebsd 13 as my daily driver for web development on my desktop on freebsd 13 works so will freebsd 13 stable

For daily use
