13:00:52 <neuroserve> nikolam : have you tried setting up with an internal dns domain (which doesn't exist)?
13:06:14 <nikolam> neuroserve, hi, yes, I changed config for everything to be .internal domain
13:06:32 <nikolam> But I didn't reinstall form scratch per se using those settings. I might try that. 
14:06:23 <Guest32> Hello, is there a bhyve orchestration engine? I found one called pot, but was wondering if anyone here had any experience/recommendation regarding this.
14:16:47 <gonzosysadm[m]> pot you say
15:02:35 <teutat3s> Guest32 (LIBERA-IRC): TritonDataCenter?
15:30:12 <Guest32> that looks promising, thank you
15:31:34 <bahamat> Guest32: SmartOS has bhyve built in. You use the vmadm command to manage all types of virtual instances, including bhyve, zones, containers, docker, and kvm.
15:31:48 <bahamat> Triton is for managing multiple SmartOS compute nodes.
15:32:19 <zizzy> and for having a usable VM management interface, for me
15:32:21 <bahamat> You can go anywhere from two to several thousand.
15:33:29 <zizzy> last time I played with smartos, vmadm usage boiled down to writing JSON files which defined the VMs
15:33:33 <bahamat> For a single compute node, it's probably better to just use SmartOS by itself. But there are benefits with Triton starting at 2+. And the more you have, the more it makes sense to use Triton instead.
15:33:52 <bahamat> zizzy: That's true, but most people keep templates around.
15:34:22 <bahamat> zizzy: e.g.,: here are mine https://github.com/bahamat/smartos-flair/tree/master/templates
15:34:32 <otis> or if even smartos is not a hard requirement, then freebsd and https://bhyve.npulse.net/ might come handy.
15:34:54 <zizzy> bahamat: oh, nice, thank you
15:39:53 <Guest32> right, thank you all! ideally, I was looking to kubernetes-like "deployments" for SmartOS VMs, automatic failover, global monitoring, etc
15:41:47 <bahamat> Triton has HA/redundancy and monitoring features built in.
15:43:17 <bahamat> There's also a mature API and CLI tool.
15:53:39 <Guest32> nice! I saw zizzy talking about VM management interface, is this built in or an external package?
15:54:39 <zizzy> probably built-in
15:55:11 <zizzy> smartdatacenter is a rather large appliance which uses smartos as base, but it's hassle-free to setup
15:56:43 <zizzy> you can test it inside a virtual machine using CoaL image (cloud on a laptop)
15:58:33 <zizzy> iirc it's pretty much standard sdc image, but with absurd overprovisioning config values to make it schedule zones on a mem/cpu-limited environment, like a virtual machine
15:59:30 <zizzy> zones = "instances" in triton lingo, basically
15:59:59 <zizzy> (the term "zone" is actually derived from solaris zones, but that's just trivia)
16:07:35 <Guest32> I think I'll try out CoaL. thanks again!
