I'm trying to get HomeAssistant working under #bhyve on #FreeBSD. I'm following https://community.home-assistant.io/t/installing-home-assistant-hassos-in-freebsd-bhyve-vm/223492 but I can't get the vm to start. https://twitter.com/DLangille/status/1595794060035457025

I have had success in getting a VM running with https://blog.david-reid.com/home-assistant-on-freebsd/

I can't connect to port 80 yet, but let's see.

I haven't used vm-bhyve myself, but I think there's some way to get it to log the output of bhyve which should have output an error before exiting. A status of 4 means bhyve hit some error like an invalid config setting and exited without starting up.

I should have been trying port 8123 but that wasn't the problem. I did get bhyve running though using https://t.co/ZSDWPZfAno
