- pkg-message:
- For install:
- VirtualBox was installed.
You need to load the vboxdrv kernel module via /boot/loader.conf:
vboxdrv_load="YES"
You also have to add all users to your vboxusers group in order to use vbox.
% pw groupmod vboxusers -m jerry
Reboot the machine to load the needed kernel modules.
Bridging Support:
=================
For bridged networking please add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf:
vboxnet_enable="YES"
USB Support:
============
For USB support your user needs to be in the operator group and needs read
and write permissions to the USB device.
% pw groupmod operator -m jerry
Add the following to /etc/devfs.rules (create if it doesn't exist):
[system=10]
add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group operator
To load these new rule add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
Then restart devfs to load the new rules:
% /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
Troubleshooting:
================
Running VirtualBox as non-root user may fail with a fatal error
NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED. In this case delete /tmp/.vbox-*-ipc file.
If you experience "Network: write Failed: Cannot allocate memory" errors
try to increase net.graph.maxdata in /boot/loader.conf
If you are using AIO, then increase these limits (https://bugs.freebsd.org/168298):
vfs.aio.max_buf_aio=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc=65536
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc=8192
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue=65536
To check if AIO is used use: kldstat -v | grep aio
If you are experiencing VMs freezes with an error in VBox.log such as:
"
00:01:29.590192 AssertLogRel /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-legacy/work/VirtualBox-5.2.44
/src/VBox/VMM/VMMR3/PGMPhys.cpp(5148) int PGMR3PhysAllocateHandyPages(PVM): RT_SUCCESS(rc)

"
and see a lot of free RAM, then increase sysctl vm.max_user_wired
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/252227).
For dedicated VM servers, a good start is:
("RAM in GB" - max(1, "RAM in GB" / 32)) * 1024*1024*1024 / PAGE_SIZE
PAGE_SIZE on x86 is 4096.
Examples with different RAM sizes in GB:
16: ( 16-max(1, 16/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 3932160 => 15GB
32: ( 32-max(1, 32/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 8126464 => 31GB
48: ( 48-max(1, 48/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 12189696 => 46.5GB
64: ( 64-max(1, 64/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 16252928 => 62GB
128: (128-max(1,128/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 32505856 => 124GB
256: (256-max(1,256/32)*1024*1024*1024/4096 = 65011712 => 248GB

emulators/virtualbox-ose{,-nox11}-legacy: add vboxinit start/stop script for VMs
which is controlled from phpvirtualbox
Set the "Startup Mode" to "Automatic" for the virtual machine in
phpvirtualbox to automatically start the virtual machine during OS boot.
This script also stops virtual machines during reboot even if
vboxinit_enable="YES" is not present in /etc/rc.conf.
phpvirtualbox uses the "Web Service" (WEBSERVICE) to configure and
manage virtual machines, so we install the script only when the
WEBSERVICE option is enabled.
