The Illumos Cafe: Another Cozy Corner for OS Diversity

> For now, it is very simple: there is a VM (running on FreeBSD and bhyve, on hardware I manage) where I have installed SmartOS. The physical host also runs the reverse proxy (in a jail). Inside the SmartOS VM, there are a series of zones: [...]

That is a weird take, to install SmartOS inside a VM for anything else than a PoC. SmartOS is meant to run on bare metal and host its own VMs / zones. It works either way of course but it's funny for an "Illumos cafe" to not go full on Illumos on the setup.

You're right, but 'for now' is the key! :-) To launch a new project, not funded by anyone, I'm using some "spare" hardware space. The final idea is to make it a full illumos setup (on bare metal).
johnisgood•5mo ago
Yeah, I see no issues with it. Only if everyone complained would donate 100 USD, then I am pretty sure it would have a fully illumos setup. Speaking of, I have not checked, but I hope you make it easy to donate.

In any case, I admire the effort.

draga79•5mo ago
Thank you! I haven't set a donation link, yet. But I have for the BSD Cafe and some great people donated some coffees, in the last two years.
bionsystem•5mo ago
I'm not complaining, just highlighting something I found funny, and I admire the effort too btw.

And yet we live in a world of cloud computing running OSs in VMs.

We are, and SmartOS was meant to break that trend !
