Enterprise Ready
The software made and tested on enterprise-class environment.
Even this website is running from it!
Multi Node
Manage multiple physical servers from one webinterface and credentials. The connection between nodes are also encrypted!
Native Application & One Click Install
Unlike others you can install this without modifying your base install. Just download and install, by one click.
Roles
BVCP is very secure and supports multiple roles, such as User, Administrator.
The story behind it ..
This is a personal project from the author of nPulse.net, Viktor Hlavaji (DaVieS) back in time 2021.
nPulse.net is always willing to share knowledge and resources with others, and I have 10+ experience of making industry-class / enterprise-class software programs.
Since 2017 I’ve been focusing my efforts on reducing CO emissions footprint on many different levels on industrial scale IT. My company is trying to be exclusively green. What I need now is mostly FreeBSD and virtualisation technology. To this point it has not been possible for these to come together, until BVCP born.
BVCP allowed me to reduce significantly the power consumption and running costs. BVCP running at home, datacenters and event on my pfSense firewall and yet I can controll them in one shot.
FreeBSD proven its extreme stability and speed, meanwhile BVCP is grew up to be become popular among people. I think people choosing BVCP because its easy to manage and also allow you to do whatever you want on your computer, therefore BVCP can be run next to your projects without interfere, for example Im running it on my pfSense router. Hundreds of people choosed BVCP without FreeBSD knowledge and their feedbacks are awesome, they started to like FreeBSD too. This is one of the most successful project.
Modular
Backend + Helpers + API + Frontend modules are working separately and with different privileges. The Virtual Machines are not affected by the this software when performs update, upgrade or even crash.
Multi-Node
Handling multiple physical servers by with one interface is working out-of-the-box, however please bear in mind, clustering is not possible at the moment.
Security
Privilege System, Login and User Administration and Journaling system doing its best. The webinterface running with (www) user and does not interact with the system itself, not even have database access.
Kinga Framework
The project inherited some advanced functions from our framework already that elevates this project to meet higher requirements. Fault Tolerant, High-Availability, Independent, Self-Test Assesments, Reporting, and so on..
WHAT IS NEW, RECENTLY ADDED FEATURES
PCI Passthrough: PCI Passthru functionality added from 2.0.0 version, please refer to this page: https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/pci_passthru
UEFI Storage: From now BVCP supports permanent UEFI BIOS settings
noVNC Integration: Added context menu to console which allows managing power options such as reboot, boot, shutdown
noVNC Sessions: Added mutexes to console, so if the console held by other can be claimed, admin has explicit right to lock
Faster & More stable behaviour: A bunch of optimisations made the software more faster and stable.
FEATURES
Network Bridge (MTU): BVCP Supports non-standard and non-default MTU values from version 1.9.0
NVM Express (NVME): BVCP Supports for attaching disks through NVM Express API. Also there are plenty of option for this storage type. Became default storage from version 1.9.0
Virtual Console (AES): Adaptive VNC Compression and faster data transmission via AES128 from version 1.9.8
Virtual Console: Highly improved performance from version 1.9.0
PCI Passthrough: BVCP supports PCI Passthru configuration.
Network Management: BVCP Supports multiple network configurations, such as bridged network, NAT configuration.
Storage Management: BVCP can create, attach, resize, detach, delete those file based virtal disks with basic storage management.
VM Management: BVCP has all the features that needs to provide full-featured virtual host administration.
System Management: BVCP highly integrates into FreeBSD but remains independent, network interfaces (tap, bridge) start from number 300 to 900 to avoid conflicting any existing application, such as VPN.
Native Application: No external libraries needed, just the operating system installed. Everything is included as a package, including the TLS/SSL capable webserver embedded. Works top of pfSense!
Optimized: Every core features are optimized for one task: "manage virtual machines". Nothing more. Therefore the whole software less than 100MB.
Enterprise Ready: Made for production use, planned to manage multiple servers across multiple datacenters regardless the distance between them.
UEFI Support: Full support UEFI installation, with its advantages and limitations. This is important due portability.
VM Commands: Start, Stop, Shutdown and Reboot Virtual machines within graphical UI.
Async: The whole software is uses asynchronous functions with backend workers, that means a fast and responsive UI.
VNC/Console: noVNC Support integrated, due VNC protocol is unencrypted the software always encapsulates traffic as AES tunnel.
