    Right away this sounds like a task for a "declaratively defined" distros, based on nixpks, guix or any other similar toolkit. There are tools, but no ready-made distro that does that, as far as I know.

    The second set that comes into my mind is the "immutable" distros that utilises CoW FS, snapshots of the initial state and some machinery to change it. I'm most familiar with the SUSE famliy, thus I'm thinking of MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon Desktop - with snapper and transaction-update one have an access to the post-install state and may replay it anyware.

    This kinda similar to what FreeBSD and illumos distros achieve with the ZFS and a "boot environment" concept (administrated via bectl/beadm).

    And in the devops world it'd be a packer image applied to a new device.

    Where is the best place to get some #openindiana pointers?

    I have been on the search engines for a few days.

    How to set up a kvm Zone (sorry NO bhyve, I dont have any new intel stuff YET recommendations are welcomed)

    How to set up an LX zone.

    sofar this is what found

    dlc.openindiana.org/docs/osol/

    web.archive.org/web/2020042513

    docs.openindiana.org/handbook/

    man pages are fun
    man.omnios.org/man8/zonecfg
    illumos.org/man/8/zonecfg

    My idea is to migrate away from my linux setup and use KVM where i cant get services in #opensolaris #illumos to work right away.

    #tldr need help with zone creation with zonecfg in openindiana

    #openindiana #opensolaris #illumos #tldr
