Hello folks! Yesterday I've tried to package and try lima

v0.11.0

on NetBSD and it (mostly) just works out of the box! Thanks a lot for that! (it needed a patch to fix unused

err

that I've then seen it was landed yesterday on HEAD too and

-cpu host

was not supported so I've locally patched that to

-cpu max

via https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc-wip/blob/master/lima/patches/patch-pkg_limayaml_defaults.go I have investigate a bit further on that (and seen that https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/commit/f32d795ad775b33680d6f7283e58c5d17e98d382 landed) and I think it's easy to add

-cpu host

support for NVMM accelerator too, so no

lima

changes should be needed (I've them locally and I will likely commit them tomorrow in pkgsrc (The NetBSD package system)

I have added a comment regarding

-cpu host

on https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/pull/894#issuecomment-1153168570 (but that's probably only theoretical and/or only for more esotic setups and likely not hit by Lima!)

Thank you for testing!

• Does NVMM supports ARM64 too? • Does QEMU’s virtio-9p-pci work on NetBSD too? (Even if not, it should be easy to support NetBSD?)

Hello Akihiro! Nope, NVMM supports only amd64 right now. Regarding virtio-9p-pci... I don't think that's supported neither (I have no idea how hard is to port it!)

There was no VMM for FreeBSD arm64 either, apparently it got stuck in review https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26976

Wonder if Windows works

Does NetBSD have any Linux jails (or LX zones) ? Or are you stuck with VM

Random guy on internet says it has chroot, but no OS-level virtualization in kernel

There is COMPAT_LINUX to run unmodified Linux binaries

But no, there isn't anything like FreeBSD jails or similar

Ah, like the linuxulator (syscalls) ? Or more like qemu/rosetta

It's on the syscall level, probably similar to linuxulator I guess 🙂

Not for lack of trying: https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/kernel_components/

The linuxulator is https://wiki.freebsd.org/Linuxulator, it never made it to Darwin sadly

We currently claim compatibility with Linux 3.2.0 in 12-STABLE and 4.4.0 in 14-CURRENT.

My limited exposure to NetBSD is through pkgsrc and various shared portabiliy concerns.

Added a PR to use

-cpu max

instead, where

-cpu host

is not available
