Hello,
two years elapsed since I last deployed a FreeBSD machine that
utilizd bhyve(8), which already had bhyve_config(5) support back then.
This may feel slightly off topic but I assure you that it is of great
benefit. Have a look at the brilliant creation of Steve Wills that I
know and love as "cirrina" :
https://gitlab.com/swills/cirrina/-/releases
It is very much in active development and does a neat job of handling a
pile of stuff related to bhyve. Not the least of which is the creation
and configuration and management of a whole slew of VMs. It is actively
being tested and developed and I have been using it while testing PCI
device passthru of NVidia Quadro GPUs for the purpose of CUDA dev work.
I also am motivated to write up a pile of documentation related to
cirrina given that it really does feel like a Swiss Army Knife which
can do damn near everything I ever wanted with bhyve.
I have seen cirrina some time ago. I was interested in GUI.
A GUI with bells and whistles like VMware Workstation is a long way off.
Feel free to drop a few million US dollars and I am sure a prototype
would be available in six months. It may even work.
Sorry but cirrina(d) is just great from the command line for now.
