Problem: Cannot use 'curl' in 'Tasks > /Init/Shutdown Scripts': "curl: not found". I'm using curl in a script to shut down Windows VM's gracefully. The only way I have come across to ensure gracefully shutdown a Windows 10/2016/2019 bhyve vm (created in gui) is to ssh in to the vm and issue a...

Hallo together, I have a problem using VLans in combination with bhyve. I found a few reports also describing VLan problems, but in some cases they look different. My problem: The VM receives and IP-Address from the DHCP server, but the VM is not able to comunicate with devices outside of the...

Hello, I'm using freenas 11.2-U5, I've a docker host running on it with all containers stopped. Bhyve use between 20%-30% cpu. Inside the virtual machine (Docker Host/Rancher) I'm between 0%-5% CPU. Any ideas?

Hi, I want to create a Ubuntu VM that I can use to ingest media to my Plex. I have a DVD drive, that I wish to install directly into the FreeNAS server. Is this even possible? How do I add the drive to the VM?

Is this a bad idea? I have a windows vm that I want to backup regularly and fr searching the internet it looks like most people are setting up scripts to shutdown, wait and confirm , then snapshot and start their vms I am very bad with scripts and have little experience but I will start copy...

I have noticed, that every time I restart one of my VMs, it gets a new IP adress from my FritzBox router. The router is configured for DHCP and every other device in my local network (including the FreeNAS itself) always gets the same IP adress. I always thought the ip adress depends on the MAC...

I have a old FreeBSD server with bhyve hosts, and my virtual machines are on different networks via one network interface (RE0). In my switch I have two VLAN's configured. This setup works today, with no problem. The network port in switch where my server is connected allow vlan 1 and 2. My new...

So I've been using FreeNAS for a couple of years now. I honestly have not run into a single problem that I couldn't solve with a google search... until now. So, respect for that goes to the entire community. I recently decided to upgrade my home server, as I want to start using more VMs to...

Hello, I changed the ip address of my FreeNas machine (11.2) with a public IP address. Now I am unable to connect to any of the VM machine. Connecting with serial would say connected but doesn't ask for a login and the terminal becomes unresponsive. Any way I could change the setting to be able...

Edit: I saw someone mention in another thread that a simple dd if=/dev/zvol/storage/virtual_machines/Arch_Linux-hfs0ap of=/dev/zvol/flash/virtual_machines/Arch_Linux-hfs0ap should work and it does, one caveat is that you need to first create the zvol in the other pool before you start dd...

Hi Everyone I recently decided to switch from hosting Plex in a VM on ESXi 6.5 to bare metal so I can try to eliminate a virtualization layer. Also, I have read that a virtualized Freenas is never a good idea-- though I ran it quite well for 3+ years and never lost any data. Either way, I...

Hi I'm seeing some weird error messages whenever I start a VM. They also pop up intermittently now and then and did so even more frequently before i updated the Linux kernel of the VM's to 5.1. I believe these errors are related to a soft re-boot issue I'm seeing as I have ruled out pretty much...

Hello good people, I installed Ubuntu server 18.04.2 in VM on FreeNAS-11.2-U3 (my first and fresh FreeNAS install) and it has no internet connection from inside. So I probably need to do something with network settings? I am really lame with network things, I hoped that this would all work...

Hello everyone, I just opened my first patch to FreeBSD. I have a version of it compiled inside a jail in my FreeNAS installation. Hopefully this differential will fix a bug with bhyve on my FreeNAS installation. How could I install this patch on the current version of FreeNAS that I'm...

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forum, please let me know if I'm posting in the incorrect format. I am new to Freenas. So far been running pretty nice, but I noticed my machine has a very high cpu usage coming from the `middlewared` process. Looking at its logs, I see that my guest...

Hey all- I'm working on a project to migrate some VMs over from ESXi to bhyve. I'm making a bit of progress (and will absolutely document what I've learned if and when I get it to work!), but I'm hung up on doing some boot repair. I've got a WinPE disk with some partition fixing software I'm...

Hello all! Im trying to create VM (Windows 7 Ultimate) on FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1, but something is going wrong. I have setup a VM with 2 cores and 4gb of RAM, with these settings I am able to start the Virtual Machine. Go to VNC and see it running until the problem occurs. I can see the...

When I accidentally open the noVNC web page twice (it's easy to lose a tab with multiple browser windows and many many tabs open), the VM I am trying to connect to instantly crashes. Both tabs will say "Server disconnected (code: 1000, reason: Target closed)", and any application running on the...

Всем доброго времени. Как-то забивал на эту проблему и виртуалку держал под другой ОС. Но все же вопрос - есть ли жизнь под FreeNAS vm. Можно очень много выкладывать вводной информации, но не факт, что пост и без того будет кому-то интересен, в принципе. Может люди просто особо и не смотрят в...

I have upgraded from 11.1u6 to 11.2 two days ago and only just realised that the VMs are limited to 2 cores. I have previously added the tuneables "hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package=4" and "hw.vmm.topology.threads_per_core=2" to my 11.1-u6 installation for my 4 core 8 thread processor (xeon...

I'm trying to migrate my Docker VM from one freenas box to another. When I try create a new Docker VM the UI won't allow me to select a .img file that already exists. Do i just need to create a bhyve VM with the exiting files as a raw file device?

Hello, I was using 11.2 RC2 and created DockerVM with RancherOS. All is fine, and now we have upgraded to the release 11.2, and RancherOS has been upgraded to v1.4.2. If you create a new docker VM, RancherOS is at the v1.4.2 level, however, the one created earlier with RC2, is still at v1.4.1...

Hi all- I'm playing around with 11.2-RC2 and I have several VMware .vdmk files I'd like to bring into FreeNAS. I've seen this oft-referenced post on conversion, but it's from a few years ago, and it's not FreeNAS specific. In this latest version of FreeNAS, is there a more streamlined and/or...

Hello, I've been testing VirtIO vs AHCI disk device settings with the latest version of Debian. I noticed with VirtIO, TRIM was not detected, while it was with AHCI. And out of the box, TRIM is supported & enabled for my NVMe device. Question: if the FreeNAS host is handling TRIM, should I even...

Forgive me for my noobness with this question, but I've only ever dealt with FreeBSD-based jails. I need to create a Linux jail using CentOS and have no idea where to start with the process. Of course, if there was a wonderful, pre-created template for iocage I could just fetch, that'd be...

Hi! I need a Linux machine in order to run Pi-Hole (there's no support for FreeBSD/NAS yet), and then I'm trying to setup a Linux VM. I was able to do this on a previous pure FreeBSD system using this tutorial (with some adjustments), but now, in FreeNAS, I can't get the same, even if I try to...

After wasting almost 2 days trying to get a Linux Virtual Machine to run, I set out to document the process so that hopefully others will be spared from the frustrations of this task. From what I can see I have no choice but to use UEFI if I'm going to use the GUI as the serial doesn't seem to...
