anyone knows if there's a documented way to run Unifi's controller on OmniOS? I guess the only required dependency should be OpenJDK.

ah, looks like it's available in pkgsrc. I'll just use that brand then.

well, available on pkgsrc, just not for illumos. great.

danmcd nice, I expect andy will drop me an archive once these land upstream

antranigv: I know people used to run it on smartos in the past, for example github.com/CyBeRoni/mi-poop-unifi has some build recepies. One problem was that it required mongodb which became unportable at some point. Maybe something like ferretdb.com could work but I've not tried any of this

mongodb became unportable?

well, reading this one is rather sad.

the mongodb license (not open source) is also an issue

license is not an excuse for lack of development from our side.

to me this sounds more like lack of development on their part :)

portability is hard, lets go shopping?

I think some (jperkin?) maintained patches for a while but if upstream is hostile it is a wasted effort

they are not going to update our libc or fix debugger or make os run on AWS.

neither are we, since "solaris" isn't us

then again, this was 8 years ago, so whatever.

"You say you want to run on “Solaris”. OK, fine, but which one? Illumos? OpenSolaris? OpenIndiana? SmartOS? Oracle Solaris? OmniOS? Do we release for one of those? If so, which one? All? How do versions relate across them? What is the level of binary compatibility? Which versions do we need to support, on which variants? How do we certify that we support all of them? "

frankly speaking MongoDB always sucked, so I'm not that sad.

happy I never needed to run it on prod.

:)

what do I need to add to fstab to have a share mount at boot ?

I manualy monut with : sudo mount 192.168.1.220:data /home/mhc/data

GrayGhost see man vfstab, first example is telling you.

thanks I will look

I get this : No manual entry for vfstab

man zfstab

that did not work eather

you can use this link docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36882/vfstab-4.html

Or our version illumos.org/man/5/vfstab

do I have to install vfstab ?

you should have it as /etc/vfstab

ls: cannot access 'vfstab': No such file or directory

are you sure it is omnios?

in this on the server or the user ?

on user machine

that is where I am working

fedora 41 desktop

then you should have fstab and you should check man fstab for examples

yes I have fstab ... but not vfstab which you said earlier

do I need vfstab ??

illumos systems have /etc/vfstab, linux / bsd have /etc/fstab. you are on omnios channel;)

I have installed omniOS on a computer as a server ... connected to my router and am accessing it from Fedora 41

I am new at using a server

thats is ok. but yes, if you want to mount that share from server on your client system, then you would need to set up /etc/fstab in your client system (as we already know its linux).

thanks I will do some reading and figure it out

antranigv - I run a unifi controller in an lx zone on OmniOS. That seems to work well.

antranigv: I've started doing the same as andyf (unifi controller in an lx zone)

It was just to test an old AP but seems to work well

I think I had issues initially with the unifi software with a newer linux release but that's a unifi/documentation issue rather than an lx issue.
