chyves is a bhyve front-end manager. chyves manages type-2 virtualized guests by
|
|
utilizing hardware virtualization on a base FreeBSD 10.3+ installation. On a
|
|
base install, only FreeBSD guests can run. However, with the installation of
|
|
sysutils/grub2-bhyve and sysutils/bhyve-firmware from ports or pkg, most other
|
|
OSes can run as a guest, including Windows. See DEPENDENCIES section in the man
|
|
page for more information.
|
|
|
|
chyves is targeted for beginners as well as power users. Beginners should find
|
|
chyves relatively easy to use with lots of documentation and demonstrations.
|
|
While power users should find utility with features such as true ZFS clones,
|
|
PCI passthrough, rapid execution against many guests, disk images, and snapshot
|
|
reverted states on boot/reboot to name a few of the advanced features.
|
|
|
|
The name 'chyves' is the pluralized, big endian alphabetic increment of bhyve.
|
|
'chyves' is pronounced like 'chives', part of the Allium genus. The onion is
|
|
also in the Allium genus.
