Plans for tomorrow: among other things, test the refactored #BSSG on illumos-based OS.
Triton Product Security announcement TPS-2025-002 : Debian 12 LX zone image from 2024-07 has static SSH keys.

Potentially affects #triton and #smartos , but easily mitigated.
#illumos ships tip(1) in -gate, so all of its distros ( #SmartOS #OmniOS #OpenIndiana etc.) have it.
Und morgen abend ist völlig überraschend schon wieder der dritte Dienstag im Monat... #FRAOSUG-Dienstag! Wir treffen uns um 19 Uhr zu zwanglosem Austausch über alle möglichen IT-Themen, mit einem leichten Schwerpunkt auf #illumos-basierten OSen wie #SmartOS, #OmniOS und #OpenIndiana -- es gibt auch News über den Versuch, einen "Förderverein" für OpenIndiana aufzubauen. Wir treffen uns hier: https://public.senfcall.de/fraosug20250218 Jeder ist willkommen, mitzudiskutieren!
https://datasets.at the community based #smartos #imgapi has been migrated to a new location and updated with the latest images from images.smartos.org. If we should mirror your images let us know
I'm guest speaker in the podcast @sva_focuson.
Tonight is the recording. My question to you is:
What are your experiences or highlights with Solaris and derivates @illumosorg , @OmniOSce , @smartosorg , @OpenIndiana , @tribblix
#Illumos
#OmniOS
#SmartOS
#OpenIndiana
#Tribblix
@karlauerbach are your i5s a mix of cores and do they disable the "e-cores" (vs p-cores)if they are mixed? N100 is all e-core so it could be a problem with those?
I have an N100 running #illumos ( #SmartOS to be specific) if you have a file that demonstrates the problem.
EDIT: NEVER MIND -- problem solved by bending the ice source to use kcompat_gnss. Oh BTW, this is a PPT-mapped Intel 800 for an Ubuntu 24.04 BHYVE guest on #SmartOS.
Is there a Linux distro that just lets me install the Intel 800-series (ice) driver w/o one needing to build it and finding out the hard way that "oh shit, I'm missing a subsystem called 'gnss'"?
<EDIT, last bits removed, see edit history if you're curious...>
I saw that my favorite Operating System got Intel 25Gbit support, so I bought an Intel 25Gbit card and plopped it in my server. But, the specific device I have isn't on the HCL (hardware compatibility list). NOOOO!
Which #illumos distribution should I install in a VM as a simple dev environment for testing compatibility?
#omnios #smartos #OpenIndiana
Folks using #GCC on #Solaris and #illumos may be interested in this change I recently looked into:
https://github.com/jperkin/notes/blob/main/gcc-cpp-stdc/README.md
I've tested it in #pkgsrc bulk builds, and it has been confirmed to fix build issues in at least scipy, while not causing any regressions.
It's now going into the #SmartOS pkgsrc trunk builds for some additional testing.
@selea @josephholsten I'm going to install #illumos on an idle machine at the office to play around. I'm a passable linux admin, and comfortable on the command line. I don't need a desktop. Zones and ZFS capabilities are appealing, at first glance.
Which distro would you recommend for complete newbie? Use cases include basic file management, some file backups, nginx/nodejs application servers. Looking at the available projects I'm considering #SmartOS, #OmniOS, and #OpenIndiana.
Checkout #SmartOS for another homelab option. The web UI targeting our #homelab and #selfhosting friends will be released soon too!
