VIRTBHYVED(8) Virtualization Support VIRTBHYVED(8) NAME virtbhyved - libvirt bhyve management daemon SYNOPSIS virtbhyved [OPTION]... DESCRIPTION The virtbhyved program is a server side daemon component of the libvirt virtualization management system. It is one of a collection of modular daemons that replace functionality previously provided by the monolithic libvirtd daemon. This daemon runs on virtualization hosts to provide management for bhyve virtual machines. The virtbhyved daemon only listens for requests on a local Unix domain socket. Remote access via TLS/TCP and backwards compatibility with legacy clients expecting libvirtd is provided by the virtproxyd daemon. Restarting virtbhyved does not interrupt running guests. Guests con- tinue to operate and changes in their state will generally be picked up automatically during startup. None the less it is recommended to avoid restarting with running guests whenever practical. OPTIONS -h, --help Display command line help usage then exit. -d, --daemon Run as a daemon & write PID file. -f, --config *FILE* Use this configuration file, overriding the default value. -p, --pid-file *FILE* Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value. -t, --timeout *SECONDS* Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are no client connections. -v, --verbose Enable output of verbose messages. --version Display version information then exit. SIGNALS On receipt of SIGHUP virtbhyved will reload its configuration. FILES When run as root • /usr/local/etc/libvirt/virtbhyved.conf The default configuration file used by virtbhyved, unless overridden on the command line using the -f | --config option. • /var/run/libvirt/virtbhyved-sock • /var/run/libvirt/virtbhyved-sock-ro • /var/run/libvirt/virtbhyved-admin-sock The sockets virtbhyved will use. The TLS Server private key virtbhyved will use. • /var/run/virtbhyved.pid The PID file to use, unless overridden by the -p | --pid-file option. When run as non-root • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/virtbhyved.conf The default configuration file used by virtbhyved, unless overridden on the command line using the -f``|--config`` option. • $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtbhyved-sock • $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtbhyved-admin-sock The sockets virtbhyved will use. • $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtbhyved.pid The PID file to use, unless overridden by the -p``|--pid-file`` option. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set in your environment, virtbhyved will use $HOME/.config If $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set in your environment, virtbhyved will use $HOME/.cache EXAMPLES To retrieve the version of virtbhyved: # virtbhyved --version virtbhyved (libvirt) 11.1.0 To start virtbhyved, instructing it to daemonize and create a PID file: # virtbhyved -d # ls -la /var/run/virtbhyved.pid -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 9 02:40 /var/run/virtbhyved.pid BUGS Please report all bugs you discover.
