Sylve

Sylve is a lightweight, open-source management platform for FreeBSD. It provides a modern web interface for managing Bhyve virtual machines, FreeBSD jails, and ZFS storage — like Proxmox, but native to FreeBSD.

Screenshots coming soon.
  • Bhyve VM Management — create, start, stop, and configure virtual machines
  • FreeBSD Jail Management — manage jails with a visual interface
  • ZFS Storage — pools, datasets, snapshots, and replication
  • Built-in Clustering — multi-node support
  • Networking — integrated networking tooling
  • Modern Web UI — SvelteKit frontend with a Go backend

Sylve is built from source:

git clone https://github.com/AlchemillaHQ/Sylve.git ~/Sylve
cd ~/Sylve
make build

Then enable the service:

sudo cp bin/sylve.rc /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sylve
sudo sysrc sylve_enable="YES"
sudo service sylve start

Config lives at ~/Sylve/bin/config.json. The web UI is available at https://localhost:8181 by default.

See the full Sylve documentation for setup details.
