VMs All The Way Down

Nested virtualization in bhyve on Intel VMX and AMD SVM — a guest that runs guests of its own, on FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT. CloudBSD / REVYTECH, Inc.

/install.sh — adds the CloudBSD package repository to a stock FreeBSD 16 amd64 machine and installs the nested-virtualization kernel and the nested-capable bhyve. Run as root.
/nested-demo.sh — on a machine running that kernel, boots a guest which boots a second guest inside itself, and puts both consoles on screen.
/releases/16.0-CURRENT-amd64/ — the installer ISOs, the memstick and disk images, their SHA-256 checksums and README.txt.

Experimental. Not for production — run it on a machine you can afford to reboot.
