Building a Unix live ISO from scratch is pure awesomeness 🥰

​My Unix development machine had zero GPU compatibility: a mountain of boot errors, GUI dead, straight to CLI 💀

​Driven completely blind in a storm of hardware failures, the Unix kernel remained an absolute rock, letting me build the OS anyway 👊🏻

Just tasted the legendary Unix stability 🛠️💪🏻

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.

man pages are fun
https://man.omnios.org/man8/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

#nwam #omnios #illumos #opensolaris #tribblix

Is there a good man page for this?
I found another ipf.conf buried in the nwam folder
i suspect that ipnat.conf goes there too

nwadm on wan interface only?
or should I disable nwamd all together and use ipadm dhcp?
I am still on my router firewall project 🤭🤭
Reason i ask is because i don't have a friggin clue since i went in head first trying to build a fw / router with Tribblix
And got wierd results when my rj45 was connected to incoming internet

#opensolaris / #OmniOS / #tribblix

@BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. #SunMicrosystems begat #OpenSolaris. Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat #IllumOS by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like #OmniOS and #Tribblix.

Truth be told, I'm kinda getting into #Solaris again, for the first time since the initial #OpenSolaris excitement.

Wie beliebt ist eigentlich #OpenIndiana / #Illumos als #OpenSolaris-Fortführung? Man hört so wenig über #Solaris. Ich würde naiv meinen, das müsste doch höhere Produktreife als FreeBSD haben. Solaris war doch eines der coolsten UNIX’.

We just provide #BSD like #freebsd #openbsd #netbsd #dragonflybsd #midnightbsd and several other ones, but also #opensolaris with #tribblix #omnios #openindiana. So, we’re also pretty niche and that’s totally fine ;)

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!

* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!

* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy

* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.

* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)

This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!
