Question: What prompts one to use an lx zone over a bhyve zone? I've been browsing the OmniOs mailing list and other places, the soft consensus seems to be bhyve is the way to go over lx, but I'm not entirely convinced.
@StephensMachineRoom
@StephensMachineRoom Ай бұрын
It depends on what you want to do, the linux equivalent for zones would be docker and kvm for bhyve. I tend to use zones as much as possible as they are lower overhead and the filesystem is well integrated. Only when I need to run something that is neither illumos nor linux will I pull out bhyve, e.g. FreeBSD for my firewall

Hello : ) Have you maybe tried to build packages on OmniOS in zone based on SmartOS image pkgbuild-trunk? I have issue with that. No network interface inside zone (but I set it in config file) and probably build require download some dependencies. Maybe zone creation required additional steps?

Thanks for that video :) I followed your instruction using same debian image and share read-only folder with zone as you did. But I have issue, probably you could explain me what is wrong with in my case. Generally in zone I have read-only directory /romedia (Debian-exim:daemon) which is attached to zone. I can browser this dir from console, Jellyfin also can see it but don't see the content for some reason... I can copy files from /romedia to new directory - /music and jellyfin can see content. Maybe the issue is with owner:group, but you change nothing and it worked for you so I am confused... Maybe you have some hint?

I know what you mean with annoyances with docker and other container technologies. Working now with docker and kubernetes at my primary job the simplicity of deploying software yourself is fun and more sane. I'm always fascinated seeing you use more "niche" OS, i tend to just use proxmox and do most of my stuff in LXC Containers and some stuff in VMs. Maybe when i migrate to a new server i'll use my current one to play around with omniOS myself. What would be interesting is to know if you can pass hardware devices into LX Zones like we do in proxmox to have hardware decoding in jellyfin, under proxmox with an intel igpu we normally pass /dev/dri/card0 and /dev/dri/render128 to the jellyfin container so it can utilize the hardware decoder since i don't want to tank my performance on other services like my nextcloud when somebody in my household is streaming again.

It is possible to pass devices to zones, I have not tried any with an LX Zone other than storage, I will do some experimenting. You should absolutely try out one of the Illumos distributions, they are incredibly powerful and feature rich.

I know I am *very* late to the party, but thanks for such a clear guide - it helped me to get DECWindows working on my MicroVAX 3100. One difference was I had to add the "-listen tcp" option when starting Xephyr on my Arch linux PC. I'm having a problem with fonts though - I seem to be stuck with one fixed font, and applications, such as DECterm, give errors about not finding fonts. Did you add any fonts to your linux box?

There is a reason that most modern Unix-Like operating systems don't allow direct root logins and this reason for two distinct reasons the first of which is that in ninety-nine percent of the applications in which Unix-Like operating systems are used in modern computing are servers. The hallmark examples of these instances like the LAMP stack or firewall or routing applications.

I went after your nr.1, so I have a C128 in front of me now, but albeit being a wonderful looking Commodore for once, it is a weird machine with borderline and a multiple personality disorder. You can get it as good looking C64 with a reasonable decent keyboard, even though some keys are still in awkward places. If you always boot it with the C= key pressed down, it is just a good looking C64, but it also kills the floppy drive speed. The C128 upgrade though is really strange. I never saw a computer with such a garbage video-output concept, the hi-res mode is totally unusable for games, the 4 flavours of booting give tons of errors in your brain and the compatibility with software is basically none, so for each mode you need separate disks. Back in 1983 I was yealous at the kids with a C64, today I'm glad we had the Philips P2000T, I truly love the machine and it aged much better, missing many of the C64 flaws. What makes the P2000T top both C64 and C128 IMO is this: - Super clean RGB output and on the fly switchable 40/80 column not affecting display functionality. You just have the whole screen buffer visible, vs just 40 columns with a selectable starting position - The tape drive is super reliable and fast. You have a dedicated "directory" button, and load and save commands are straightforward, not suber dumb LOAD "$",8 and LIST to get your files listed. - It has a good PSU built in, with head room for expansion modules, which can fit inside the case - The ROM is swapable as module and easy accesible (Atari-style) - It has expansion options inside like up to 2MB of RAM, RAM-disk, generic shugart floppy control, RS 485, RTC, high res graphics that share the RGB output. - The machine looks awesome, a true eighties design piece with Knight-Rider angles and a nice black/titanium colour scheme - Repairability is a straight 10 on iFixit - Basic is good. You have a proper font, with a proper character set. No PETSCI crap or CAPS only. - Software had a tight approval procedure. Where C64 programs basically lock up your machine, on the P2000T there is always quit, and you can safely load a new program. They all have decent Dutch translations. - Reset works. On a C128 reset leaves garbage in RAM and give multiple errors. So you need to use the power switch all the time. - C64 game graphics have dated badly. It just looks shit compared to a PC Engine or NES. C128 games basically don't exist. On the P2000T you have Teletext graphics, and although it sounds totally bad to have 78x72 pixels in 8 colours with strict colour changing limits, it has an arthouse quality to it, still looking fresh in 2024. Some games are really nice and not having to battle with versions on other systems. - It is a really great terminal for BBS's and Viewdata. - It uses more of the screen. The border on a C64 is way too big.

I installed OI in virtualbox and it looks like nice capable Unix system . Package manager is dog slow for just installing binary packages but being used to Portage on Gentoo I can live with its performance. I will need to try it on real hardware and apparently Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 is supported on OpenIndiana so chances are high it might be pretty usable for as long as it actually supports 3D acceleration and my network interfaces are supported. Other contender is FreeBSD which I might use there instead.

I come to a weird choice if I try to do this from a 2024 perspective: my demands: - Awesome looking device - Great quality video output, not necessarily good graphics, but decent output, so RGB-out minimum. Rock that Trinitron! - Proper keyboard, no rubber caps, no weird as heck layout. - Top notch reliability, no maintanance hell, and 9+ score on iFixit repair. - Build in PSU and room for expansions, no cable-mess. - Build in drive/tape unit with great reliability and easy of use, no manual writing down of cassette positions. - Great in ancient online tasks, gaming not important: let gaming be taken care off by the PC-Engine which dwarfs anything 8-bit. - Decent second hand price. This means you can cut out a lot: Commodore 64 looses on looks and reliability. ZX misses on clean video output, BBC Micro on looks. All three miss storage built in. Apple 2 misses out on looks and is over the top expensive second hand. I think Philips did really well with the P2000T. Looks amazing, the tape drive is going strong after 40 years, PSU is reliable as a vintage Volvo, the machine is very well designed with an iconic look, RGB-SCART is default, and it was a heck of a Viewdata terminal. And it even has one of the best classic space shooters ever made, even though it was 78x72 pixels!
