I've have a fresh install of TrueNAS Core running on Proxmox and just cloned your repo to get the agent working and the build fails on the make command.

I'll have a dig see if can work it out but thought I'd let you know too.

For some reason Proxmox VE shows ram usage at least 2x (even more) what the actual usage is on FreeBSD 12.2 / 13.0.
Guest agent is configured as "VirtIO" (possible option is also "ISA") in PVE.

I git clone the repo , modified /usr/ports/emulators/qemu/Makefile, and then I typed "make " in the folder QEMU-guest-agent , but I got error like below:

root@freebsd:~/qemu-guest-agent # make

*** Error code 1

Then I checked my /usr/ports/emulators/qemu/distinfo

TIMESTAMP = 1535379498
SHA256 (qemu/2.12.1/qemu-2.12.1.tar.xz) = 33583800e0006cd00b78226b85be5a27c8e3b156bed2e60e83ecbeb7b9b8364f

Yes , distinct show qemu/2.12.1/qemu-2.12.1.tar.xz but your repo required qemu/2.12.1/qemu-2.12.1.tar.bz2 . How could I do ?

Look like there is a issue with patch-commands-posix

Any ideas ?

12.0-RELEASE-p11 - fresh install

Наличие подробной документации это очень хорошо.

Но смысл портов в том, чтобы можно было полностью автоматизировано
установить софт, в том числе затем из пакета одной командой pkg install,
а не следуя разветвленной инструкции.

Желательно в FreeBSD Bugzilla сделать PR и прикрепить туда порт,
оформленный в соответствии с Porters Handbook. Если порт протестирован/поддерживает
только FreeBSD 12+, в Handbook указано, как это оформить в Makefile порта.

configure patch was failing (1 out of 2), corrected version @ pull request

I'm using KVM on oVirt 4.4.5. If we install the agent, it will work correctly, but it always create a lot of /bin/df -Ht zombie process which actually make our VM hang (because a lot of process spawned). Using FreeBSD 12.2 and 13 with i440fx.

Hi! Thank you for your effort on the port.

I'm working on getting FreeBSD running on (read managed by) Kubernetes using KubeVirt. The guest-ssh-{get,add,remove}-authorized-keys commands allow for dynamic injection (at scale) of SSH keys. This feature was added in 5.2 according to the qapi-schema. Current upstream version is 6.1.93 which based on a comment in a previous thread, is probably too large of a task to tackle at the moment.

Make errors with:

Should this support memory usage?

I have been through the build process and I have successfully got the agent up and running on a TrueNAS system that is running inside Proxmox.

For the most part, it is working which is great. I can now shutdown or reboot TrueNAS from the Proxmox UI and I also get network information relayed into the Proxmox UI.

The one thing I noticed straight away was that the amount of memory Proxmox was showing the TrueNAS VM as using was still pretty much 100% which isn't correct. Should it correctly report the memory usage through the agent? Is there any further config I need to do to make this work?

Thanks,

Damien

Please delete

I don't think this line is correct:

This approach prevents users from starting the service without enabling it in /etc/rc.conf with service servicename onestart.

Any progress on getting the project listed as a FreeBSD port??
If not, has any effort been made to produce an installable binary package (or how would I install this package)?

For what it's worth: I see this note in the Google search I did for qemu-guest-agent:
Site: pfsense Forums - Feature #9877: QEMU Guest Agent

It looks like that port has not been added to FreeBSD yet. The linked PR shows they added some code to the main qemu port to not break that port when building qemu-guest-agent, but there is no emulators/qemu-guest-agent in the FreeBSD ports tree.

I am pretty new to system administration, so my apologies if this message has no bearing.
Edit: clarity

are you planning to someday/somehow upstream your patches ? according to https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch it doesnt look impossible, and would be nice. I dont see any previous attempt in the qemu-devel mailing list archive.

just asking, as an OpenBSD contributor backported/reused your patchset to make guest-get-vcpu, guest-network-get-interfaces and guest-get-fsinfo to work on OpenBSD, cf https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=161788326331605&w=2 (full thread: https://marc.info/?t=158936393000001&r=1&w=2) - i've tested those and it works fine on top of qemu-6.0rc2. as its a rather large patch, on the longterm simpler to try to upstream it ? i can work on that part, unless you're planning to.

I found there are some patches in the upstream for FreeBSD
https://patchew.org/QEMU/[email protected]/
qga: Add initial FreeBSD support
qga: Move Linux-specific FS freeze/thaw code to a separate file
qga: Add UFS freeze/thaw support for FreeBSD
qga: Add shutdown/halt/reboot support for FreeBSD
qga: Add support for user password setting in FreeBSD
qga: Move HW address getting to a separate function
qga: Add HW address getting for FreeBSD

Maybe it can help you with porting newer versions of QEMU Guest Agent.

Hello,

what reason port not commit in FreeBSD?

Just installed this on FreeBSD 11 and it works fine (I need it to retrieve the network info from the VM).
Thanks

PS: Tried to also install it on pfSense, but their kernel is missing a lot of the virtio stuff needed to make this work, alas.

Using FBSD 13 and KVM on oVirt 4.4.5.11. The guest info still show 'undefined" architecture

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried to install, but I can't.
From what I notice it is for version QEMU 4.1.1.
But this version is older.

In the port system, I now find QEMU 5.0.1.
Could you help me with this issue?
