If you're running the SmartOS trunk package set, then ensure you have the latest pkg tools installed:
$ pkg_add -U pkg_install pkgin
This will help avoid a potential issue I discovered when upgrading a host that hadn't been updated for a long time:
For now I've only published the "tools" set, I'll hold off a bit before publishing the main x86_64 set to ensure everyone is ready.
Apologies if you hit this. The modern versions are a lot more robust.

I'm slowly approaching the Immich setup, which I want to use, but I need to setup it in a zone per component instead of docker containers and compose.
And this toot is a minute rant that so much of the self-hostable software doesn't suggest such an approach even at documentation level, not mentioning the scripts and binaries.
That means that at first I'd need to deconstruct containers to use only relevant bits. -

Early next week I'll be updating the SmartOS trunk package sets to be built on 20250612, as per announcement to smartos-discuss:
This also migrates them over to bob, and an improved build host configuration that will result in much faster and more reliable builds.
No need to do anything other than ensure you're running at least 20250612 (we release every 2 weeks with new features and security fixes, why wouldn't you?!) and "pkgin upgrade".

Today, the Linuxulator did its job, and it did it very well.
A client is experimenting with moving from Docker to FreeBSD and jails, and they seem very happy with it so far.
The issue is that part of their build process - as so often happens - relies on Node dependencies that only compile on Linux, macOS, etc., but not on FreeBSD, due to a missing binary that isn't provided for it. Currently, they build on their local machines and push the output to the server, but sometimes they need to make quick changes on the fly.So, I set up a Linux jail (Ubuntu) using BastilleBSD, installed the dependencies, set up a bind mount, and granted them access to the jail. The result: now they can compile right from there too, improving their overall workflow.
The Linuxulator - and even more so, illumos's lx zones - are truly remarkable pieces of technology.

Fable dishing out the compliments that those of us running these systems for decades have always known and advocated for.
"That DTrace trace was the whole game, by the way — owner identity from mdb plus lock/unlock pairing found one orphaned acquisition in 55k events and its exact stack. Nice platform to debug on."
