Collecting status of boxes from Atlas other than those provided by FreeBSD

$ git clone https://github.com/jesa7955/vagrant-bhyve.git
$ cd vagrant-bhyve
$ bundle install --path vendor/bundle --binstubs

Note we will need package coreutils and dnsmasq(and of course we will need grub-bhyve to boot Linux box), vagrant-bhyve will try to install them with pkg.

Thanks to Steve Wills's work, now you can convert a VirtualBox box to a bhyve one with vagrant-mutate.

After a box is created, you should create another Vagrantfile.

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "boxname"
end

then execute this command to start the box with bhyve

$ /path/to/vagrant-bhyve/bin/vagrant up --provider=bhyve

After the box is booted(uped), you can ssh into by executing this command. Note that you will have to use password to authorize for now.

$ /path/to/vagrant-bhyve/bin/vagrant ssh

This command will shutdown the booted VM and clean up environment

$ /path/to/vagrant-bhyve/bin/vagrant halt

$ /path/to/vagrant-bhyve/vagrant destroy

This issue seems like a bug of Vagrant core. It even appears when I test with virtualbox provider. The are two know solutions:

• Add config.vm.guest = :freebsd to Vagrantfile
• Add config.ssh.shell = "sh" to Vagrantfile

I met this issue when I try to use vagrant-bhyve to boot centos/7 box. Vagrant uses NFS as default synced folder type. When it fails on your machine and box, you can:

• Add config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", type: "rsync" to your Vagrantfile to ensure that rsync type is used. Vagrant core will raise an error to inform you when there is not rsync find in PATH
• Run vagrant plugin install vagrant-sshfs to enable vagrant-sshfs

Now this gem has been published on rubygems.org. You can install it through vagrant plugin install vagrant-bhyve to install it in a normal Vagrant environment
