The OpenBSD Hypervisor in the wild, a short story.

OpenBSD Amsterdam started in the summer of 2018 after a poll on Twitter as an idea to start testing with vmm(4)/vmd(8). Mostly to see how far we could take it and more importantly to give back to the project. Little did we know where it would take us.

During this talk I will outline how it all started, how it’s build, how we operate the platform and what speedbumps we encountered.

📺 The OpenBSD hypervisor in the wild, a short story, but getting longer. (Dutch)

In the Summer of 2018 —after a poll on Twitter— OpenBSD Amsterdam started testing with vmm(4)/vmd(8). Mostly to see how far we could take it; more importantly to give back to the project. Little did we know where it would take us. During this talk, Mischa will outline how it all started, how it’s built, how we operate the platform, what speedbumps we encountered and where we are now.

Running a Docker Host under OpenBSD using vmd(8).

The OpenBSD virtual machine daemon works pretty well with Linux VMs nowadays. This was time for me to see if I could replace the Synology Docker service with some Docker host provided by vmd(8)...

#docker #vmd

Launch OpenBSD vmd Guests on Demand from SSH.

I’d been kicking around the idea of using an ssh ProxyCommand to launch transient EC2 instances connected to long-lived EBS volumes so I figured – why not implement this for vmd hosts? I could forward Linux X11 apps to my desktop & be able to use Signal...
