bahamat, sjorge: did anything ever come out for TritonDataCenter/smartos-live #930 ?

I haven't had a chance to look into it

has anybody ever made a version of the json utility installable on OSX or Linux?

toasterson: you mean "npm install -g json"?

ah, I definetly did not want to try that just in case json in npm is not that json

it works thanks

well, the github page referenced in the help text suggested that :)

hm. something funny is going on with networking. zone in subnet A <-> router <-> zone in subnet B is much slower than zone in subnet A <-> router <-> host in subnet B

gremlins. day light savings run amok, ooh, la, la!! ;P

Actually...

... all appears to be remarkably well.

nbjoerg: are zone(sub A) and zone(sub B) on same physical host with VNICs sitting atop same physical link?

rzezeski: yes

nbjoerg: and what is the physical NIC?

ixgbe

okay, so more than likely this is mac performing hardware-offload emulation because the packets are traveling across the implicit switch aka "mac loopback"

huh? they should be going out to the real router

you could verify this by something like: `dtrace -qn 'mac_hw_emul:entry { print(args[3]); }`

if it prints nothing, it is not hit, right?

correct

right, not hit

to name some numbers: my workstation can fetch gige line speed via HTTP from zone A; the file server zone B in the same subnet as my workstation only gets ~30MB/s

Is github.com/TritonDataCenter/mibe the current mibe repo?

yes but it's unmaintained for years, we'll likely do something completely different for new images

native hashicorp packer would be <3

Even open bssssssd has it :P bsd-pl.org/assets/talks/2019-06-27_…-Buehler-OpenBSD-Packer-Vagrant.pdf

jperkin: well I am making a tool for me and want imgapi support. So I want to test the current builds a bit to reverse engineer things I don't quite understand from docs

Smithx10: packer is for vm images. we have image builder for such cases which we should push more.

Doesn't image builder require docker?

Smithx10: ???????? no github.com/illumos/image-builder

ahh, I'm thinking about the lx branded zones image builde

think its in a omnios repo somewhere

wiedi_: I can't pm you somehow on matrix if you wanted to support me getting your images built :)

I thought mibe was for building VMs and Zone images?

Smithx10: it is but limited to smartos imgapi images.

Ahh here it is github.com/citrus-it/lx-images

Think Packer would be able to replace mibe, does image-builder already do that?

toasterson hm strange, but yes I can explain a bit how I build the images if you want to chat - just did not want to bore the channel :)

wiedi_: lol

:( I am boring? :(

nooo :D

wiedi_: considering that it seems to be the last image building setup around I doubt it's boring :)

just did not want to spam my pet project links in here all the itme ,)

That's just my fork, the canonical one is github.com/omniosorg/lx-images

and the one under illumos/ is great for building general images for cloud stuff or AWS or whatever

Smithx10: github.com/openflowlabs/aurora-opencloud is based on upstream illumos and openindiana for now but also could generate smartos images later if mibe is to be phased out

Does Aurora OpenCloud have a site?

so instead of mibe, which requires changes to the global zone you can also parse the mibe-repository, create a prepare-shell-script from all that and pass that to "imgadm create" which does the hard work. That can be triggerd via ssh

Smithx10: not yet. I have no clue what to put on it exactly.

wiedi_: sounds good. Are instructions anywhere?

thanks will have a look after food :)
