How to run vm from non-root user? #460

Closed rj-hwang closed 2 years ago

rj-hwang commented 2 years ago

When I run vm command in non-root user, I get this error:

$ vm list
/usr/local/sbin/vm: ERROR: virtual machines can only be managed by root

currently vm-bhyve needs root permission. you can using sudo to permit non-root user.

Unfortunately bhyve currently only runs as root. Hopefully this will change in the future and we can allow creating/starting/stopped guests as other users.
