Dear Colleagues, What's the minimum software kit to run a couple of FreeBSD guests (serial console, no graphics needed) on a Debian 10 host? I don't need any fancy management GUI like that of VirtualBox, would just prefer some minimalistic hypervisor managed from the CLI. The ability to access the host's raw disk devices from the guest would be a great advantage.
- if your last sentance is correctly enounced, I do not understand your usecase nor did I know that it is possible - if the matter is for a Linux host to access the raw filesystem of a FreeBSD guest, you probably need: a) to choose a virtualization that proposes this raw option (for KVM/qemu I know that it is possible, for Virtualbox, I think so, too, and I do not know for the others) b) to use ZFS instead of UFS in FreeBSD (UFS read acces in Linux is not very convenient and for write access you need (needed?) to rebuild the kernel and it is (was?) rather dangerous). I have never used ZFS, so take this with a grain of salt.
Please don't just say "kvm" or any other single word but give a pointer to a good step-by-step document.
This one will probably do: https://wiki.debian.org/SystemVirtualization(particularly the 3rd chapter "System Virtualization" if I understand your usecase)
