+# FreeBSD 15 cloudinit VMs
+
+Configs and details for how to set up and run FreeBSD 15 cloudinit VMs
+in QEMU on Apple Silicon machines such as MacBook Pro M1.
+
+## Install tools on host
+
+On your Apple Silicon machine, install Homebrew if you haven't already.
+
+<https://brew.sh/>
+
+Then use Homebrew to install QEMU, cdrtools, wget and xz:
+
+```zsh
+brew install qemu cdrtools wget xz
+```
+
+## Create directories on host
+
+Create the following directories inside your local clone of this repo.
+
+```zsh
+mkdir -p efi/ qcow2/ user-data-iso/ vm/
+```
+
+At this point, you should have the following directory structure:
+
+```text
+.
+├── README.md
+├── cloudinit-data
+│   └── simple
+│       ├── meta-data.yaml
+│       └── user-data.yaml
+├── efi
+├── qcow2
+├── user-data-iso
+└── vm
+```
+
+## Download FreeBSD and EFI files
+
+Download FreeBSD 15 VM image and uncompress it:
+
+```zsh
+cd qcow2/
+wget https://download.freebsd.org/releases/VM-IMAGES/15.0-RELEASE/aarch64/Latest/FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.qcow2.xz
+unxz FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.qcow2.xz
+cd ..
+```
+
+Download and extract EFI files:
+
+```zsh
+cd efi/
+wget https://gist.github.com/niw/4f1f9bb572f40d406866f23b3127919b/raw/f546faea68f4149c06cca88fa67ace07a3758268/QEMU_EFI-cb438b9-edk2-stable202011-with-extra-resolutions.tar.gz
+tar xf QEMU_EFI-cb438b9-edk2-stable202011-with-extra-resolutions.tar.gz
+cd ..
+```
+
+We will be reusing these files for each of our VMs.
+
+## Prepare files for VM
+
+Create cloudinit config ISO for first VM from config files
+using mkisofs from cdrtools:
+
+```zsh
+mkisofs \
+  -o user-data-iso/simple.iso \
+  -volid cidata \
+  -joliet -rock \
+  -input-charset utf-8 \
+  -quiet \
+  -graft-points \
+  user-data=cloudinit-data/simple/user-data.yaml \
+  meta-data=cloudinit-data/simple/meta-data.yaml
+```
+
+Create directory for VM files:
+
+```zsh
+mkdir -p vm/simple/
+```
+
+Create EFI files for the VM:
+
+```zsh
+dd if=/dev/zero of=vm/simple/pflash0.img bs=1m count=64
+dd if=/dev/zero of=vm/simple/pflash1.img bs=1m count=64
+dd if=efi/QEMU_EFI.fd of=vm/simple/pflash0.img conv=notrunc
+dd if=efi/QEMU_VARS.fd of=vm/simple/pflash1.img conv=notrunc
+```
+
+Copy FreeBSD 15 cloudinit image for the VM:
+
+```zsh
+cp \
+  qcow2/FreeBSD-15.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-BASIC-CLOUDINIT-zfs.qcow2 \
+  vm/simple/hdd0.qcow2
+```
+
+At this point, you should have the following directory structure:
+
+```text
+.

+├── cloudinit-data
+│   └── simple
+│       ├── meta-data.yaml

+    └── simple
+        ├── hdd0.qcow2
+        ├── pflash0.img
+        └── pflash1.img
+```
+
+Boot the VM in QEMU:
+
+```zsh
+qemu-system-aarch64 \
+  -M virt \
+  -accel hvf \
+  -cpu host \
+  -smp 4 \
+  -m 4096 \
+  -drive file=vm/simple/pflash0.img,format=raw,if=pflash,readonly=on \
+  -drive file=vm/simple/pflash1.img,format=raw,if=pflash \
+  -device virtio-gpu-pci \
+  -display default,show-cursor=on \
+  -device qemu-xhci \
+  -device usb-kbd \
+  -device usb-tablet \
+  -device intel-hda \
+  -device hda-duplex \
+  -drive file=vm/simple/hdd0.qcow2,format=qcow2,cache=writethrough \
+  -nographic \
+  -serial mon:stdio \
+  -netdev user,id=net0,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \
+  -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 \
+  -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi0 \
+  -drive file=user-data-iso/simple.iso,format=raw,readonly=on,if=none,id=cdrom0 \
+  -device scsi-cd,drive=cdrom0 
+```
+
+A bunch of text will scroll by, and you will see FreeBSD updating itself to latest version if necessary, and FreeBSD installing the packages that we have in the cloud-init configs, and doing other cloud-init steps.
+
+After a pretty short amount of time, you should see the login prompt:
+
+```text
+FreeBSD/arm64 (simple-vm) (ttyu0)
+
+login: 
+```
+
+We see here that hostname has been set according to our cloud-init configs.
+
+Log in as user `simple-user`
+
+Enter password `hest123`
+
+Now you are logged in on the VM :D
