Getting an intermittent error building current jdk on #illumos
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
I'm suspecting this is something interesting internal to the jdk itself (seen it with jdk22 and jdk23), as the system I use for builds has plenty of capacity.
So many things to do...
The 1.70.0 update to #Tailscale required merging in some changes to wireguard-go to get things building for #illumos / #solaris
I'm marking this release as beta for us:
https://github.com/nshalman/tailscale/releases/tag/v1.70.0-beta-sunos
Things are working for me, but please let me know if you run into issues.

@dch @dexter Yes, although in #illumos we have the RBAC facility which allows us to define a user as a role and thus it can run executables if permissions are given but not login. We currently cannot go rootless because of a couple of init services but we could do so. With a couple months effort and some breaking of things. So a Cloud OS based on illumos in the style of google GKE could go rootless even.

Here is the spiel for my August 7 NYCBUG talk: https://www.nycbug.org/index?action=view&id=10699
As I said before, if you're in the #NYC area, come by and say hi. It's a fun talk I've been workshopping; you'll leave with some good laughs, learning some new technical knowledge, and learning how to be a better advocate for the BSDs (or whatever your open source/free software niche is).

Hey #BSD people. I'm speaking at NYC*BUG for the August meeting. If you're in or around #NYC come by say hi.
I, uh, have no idea where the venue is. I think NYU?
As for what I'm speaking about, I think I'm going to workshop a new talk. Designed to be funny and push the boundaries of what is truly useful for us to be doing in 2024.

I finally upgraded my #OmniOS PowerEdge server. It was painless, straightforward and error free. So boring. Thanks a lot devs for building such a solid platform!
@implementcontrols I run my own Kubernetes cluster with S3 and Postgres on local storage (Application based replication) and a NAS with #illumos ZFS and NFS for things that can't use S3. Also I want to have one node of the S3 cluster on the NAS for stability. With Kubernetes Oprators which run the Backup etc. for postgres and minio it's very reliably. With Talos you can extend that local cluster to a VPS worker aswell. And it's Very high availability. And once setup autorecovers.
Which #illumos distribution should I install in a VM as a simple dev environment for testing compatibility?

Experts in OmniOS, SmartOS, IllumOS, and Solaris, I have a question: I have an OmniOS VPS with several zones, obviously in their ZFS datasets. I'm simulating an emergency restore on another equivalent VPS, just as I do with all my backups. I created a live snapshot of my zone (without halting and detaching) and I'm copying it to the other VPS with a command similar to:
zfs send -vcR rpool/zones/nginx@toMove01 | ssh root@myIP "zfs receive -F rpool/zones/nginx"
The copy completes successfully. At that point, on the destination VPS, I run:
zonecfg -z nginx -f nginx.cfg
The content of nginx.cfg is:
create -b
set zonepath=/zones/nginx
set brand=pkgsrc
set autoboot=true
set limitpriv=default
set ip-type=exclusive
add net
set allowed-address="192.168.123.254/24"
set physical="nginx0"
set mac-addr="2:8:20:9:d7:f2"
set global-nic="internal0"
set defrouter="192.168.123.1"
end
add attr
set name="resolvers"
set type="string"
set value="1.1.1.1,9.9.9.9"
end
The zone is created and is in a configured state. When I run zoneadm -z nginx attach, no output is given, so everything seems okay, but in fact, the zone remains "configured" and a start returns:
[2024-06-24 09:50:41.92728] [29919] [warn] WARNING: cannot 'boot' nginx. nginx is configured and not installed.
Running the install command will create different datasets.
Can you give me some advice? Thank you very much!

I made a command line interface to repology.org to make keeping track of which of my ports need updating easier. So I released it on GitHub.
It works out of the box on #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD, and #NetBSD. It will autodetect which of those operating systems you are on and fetch info from the correct repo. For everyone else, it defaults to OpenBSD but can be easily overridden with an option flag.
It is written in D and will build and run wherever a #dlang compiler is available.

@teajaygrey @thumb Great summary! The only one I don't see there is helloSystem, which I think is still a thing. https://hellosystem.github.io/docs/
I've only used #FreeBSD and #NetBSD lately. FreeBSD has ZFS quite well integrated. When I was younger, the BSDs seemed yawn-worthy: Linux was where all the new stuff was happening. Now a few of those "new stuffs" have come and gone, and I appreciate the ability to store my stuff somewhere that won't break, whose goals are less beholden to corporate initiatives.
In fact, of late, I've seen a lot of #illumos chatter on my timeline...
Small Announcement:
OpenIndiana missing support for Hybrid ISO's is a Bug and not a result of a decision. We would Love patches to our image builders to address that.

So unfortunately #LLVM 17 has hit #pkgsrc, which means I need to turn off support for the full LLVM suite in #clang on #illumos
We offered to provide build hosts and maintain support, but upstream weren't interested, and removed all of the code.
Given it was working absolutely fine, this is a real shame. Especially as I spent a significant chunk of time getting it working.
It'll now have to go back to depending on GCC's libstdc++, and I'll work on avoiding dependencies on clang where I can.

Our first weekly will start on the 25th, April 2024 at 7 PM (GMT+2).
You can find all the details on the #BSDCafe wiki:
https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub
For the first one, I already created a small agenda (https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25). You are highly encouraged to modify and extend this, as well as upcoming agendas!
Overview:
Day: Thursdays (weekly)
Time: 7 PM - 8 PM (GMT +2)
Where: https://meet.gyptazy.ch/BSDPub (Jitsi)
Infos: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub
Agenda: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/docs:weekly-bsdpub-meeting-minutes-2024-04-25
Info: No recordings, no deep tech dives (keep it simple, we have calls for the details, no pressures to anyone, have fun and enjoy)
When I started the poll to ask for interests in such a meeting I wasn’t sure that even more than 5 people would be interested. I’m happy to see this amount of interested BSD users. I’m aware of the different timezones and it might make sense to have a second timeslot. This one mostly covers the European and near-east users. I’m happy to hear suggestions regarding preferred timeslots for the US, Asia,… so far, I’m happy to see at least a few of you next Thursday in the call!

Long post
Different timezones make it really hard to just have a single meeting and it might end up in two or even three ones but also trying to avoid fragmentation. But this will probably work out more in an iterative way…
The current idea is to start Thursdays, 7pm GMT+2 in an unmoderated public jitsi session where everyone can join. I think the targeted user group is able to handle it in that way, like we always do.
The question is also, do we want to have an agenda or only open minded jump in and see how it works out?! My experience is, that people might be shy to start talking, it’ll be silent and people start to drop’s drop. An agenda might be helpful for an initial start but I also want to avoid having an introduction round where everyone tells something about himself. I mean, this can be done optionally, but I’m also aware of it that some may feel uncomfortable with this. This round should just make fun and not make any pressure or someone feeling uncomfortable.
So, agenda or open minded and free to talk for the first sessions?

Hey #BSD Fans!
We all share the same interests - #BSD based systems like #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD and #NetBSD.
We chat all day, sharing thoughts, questions and help. We talk on Matrix across different channels, we share on the #Fediverse. We have @vermaden@bsd.cafe's newsletter, we have @dexter@bsd.network's #FreeBSD #Jails and #bhyve calls and many other ones I can't list here.
Wondering if there would be and interests in the #BSDNetwork, #BSDCafe, etc., for a weekly smalltalk session like in a pub. Just a Jitsi based video/audio call where we can meet, discuss things from newsletter, trending things from the #Fediverse or just have off-topic and openminded discussions. This could result into the #BSDPub meeting.
I know, some people are shy - keep your cam off until you feel comfortable and feel free to join the discussions. Even this meetings should make fun and no pressure - so if someone is not in the mood or can't make it - no worries. No one will judge.
Would you be interested?

Yesterday's Jail/Zones call recording is up!
We discussed upcoming events, anti-FreeBSD FUD, @dch's OCI container progress and container registries, IPv6 networking and more!
@anubhav @Tubsta @dexter @alelab It seems that the solution is to just use #FreeBSD or #Illumos (#OmniOS, #OmniOSCE, #SmartOS) with hardware from SuperMicro (or others) and #FreeNAS / #TrueNAS as UI and related via shell script. I believe that this is the route. The original source of FreeNAS was the #BSDrouter project (rather than a company). #Unix #ZFS #OpenZFS
The recording of the April 4th, 2024 bhyve Production User Call
We discussed the #Fudo security appliance which is now available as a #bhyve VM, TPM Emulation, a VM framework for #NetBSD, AMD SEV and untrusted public VM providers, identifying tap/bridge performance bottlenecks, diagnosing PCI Pass-Through (PPT) issues, and the various FUD surrounding #TrueNAS CORE and other #FreeBSD-based appliances.
@joel As the website notes in the About page, "the server resides at hackerspace.am, so please anticipate downtime when the electricity is out" 😅 I’ll make a status page today for all the services.
I also did a very bad editorial choice by deciding "there's not much news... let's try monthly" but todays article ended up being long. I will go back to weekly, every Sunday at 00:00 AM UTC, scheduled, so people don't wait.
Thank you for the interest <3
