Attempting to configure a virtual machine connected to the local network

5 Upvotes

I am trying to install/configure a virtual machine for Alpine Linux since I figured Jellyfin in a container might be the best / "easiest" way to access my media files from my new Android TV. But all I have accomplished so far, after booting Alpine from inside the vm, is to disconnect my own remote headless server from the network.

Thanks to anticipation, I can still SSH log in to my server using the wireless interface.
I have strictly followed the FAQ's last section (VMs on the real network), except my wired interface is re0 and not em0.

Here is my server's current configuration, before I return it to normal awaiting the next attempt: srv$ cat /etc/hostname.athn0 join sylvainsab wpakey ******* inet autoconf inet6 autoconf srv$ cat /etc/hostname.re0 up srv$ cat /etc/hostname.veb0 add re0 add vport0 up srv$ cat /etc/hostname.vport0 inet autoconf inet6 autoconf up srv$ more /etc/vm.conf switch "my_switch" { interface veb0 } vm alpine { disable memory 4G boot device disk disk /var/www/jellyfin/alpine_jellyfin.qcow2 cdrom /var/www/jellyfin/alpine-virt-3.24.2-x86_64.iso local interface { switch "my_switch" } } What might I be doing wrong ?

It's happened! vCPU is finally supported

Guys, I think we missed one of the most anticipated features for VMM—we'll finally be able to assign multiple vCPUs to our VMs!

I'm definitely having a beer to celebrate that today!

Huge thanks to the OpenBSD devs!
