Stefano MarinelliOne of my plans for the next few weeks is to take a nice "dip" back into <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a>, which I haven't tried in a while. I currently have installations of both <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, each with its own specific target. I also want to try installing <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a> on a PC that's not exactly new, but still perfectly functional.<a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a>

Stefano MarinelliI broke my FreeBSD home server - it's now running on SmartOS 😃 <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115096681908613819" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115096681908613819</a><a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a>

Stefano MarinelliTonight I made a simple, yet destructive (or at least partly) mistake: when I told FreeBSD which disk to destroy, I accidentally gave it the system disk of my little home server. This happened because it had the same size as the external SSD I had just plugged in, and I got confused.I lost some reproducible configurations (the server’s name was in fact tempfbsd01), but I took the chance to run an experiment. My home server runs FreeBSD in read-only mode (that's the part I destroyed). From there, I manually enable the external drives (encrypted with GELI) and, in turn, the ZFS pools. Then I start the various jails and the (single, Proxmox Backup Server) VM.Since I also have another test box running SmartOS, I decided to experiment: I connected the disks to it, created a FreeBSD bhyve VM on SmartOS, and passed the entire disks through to the VM. I reconfigured the FreeBSD VM with the bare minimum and booted it all up. The jails with BastilleBSD started without any issues - obviously the Proxmox Backup Server VM itself is still missing, but I’ll deal with that later.I’m tempted to leave everything like this for a while.And yes, for anyone wondering: I had fun 🙂 <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RunBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DisasterRecovery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DisasterRecovery</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Homelab</a>

Stefano MarinelliI needed an Alpine (Linux) zone on my <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a> server. I just created a new zone. Then, I wanted to see how much memory that zone was using: 2996K Less than 3 MB for an "entire" Alpine Linux zone. Efficiency, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> style!

RavenI don't know why but I never looked at the illumos based operating systems. I think I will change that and try out either OpenIndiana or SmartOS and compare them with Linux and BSD.Areas I want to compare: - Availability of software - Simplicity of system management - General system usage - Security and Storage featuresAre there any illumos users or admins out there with an idea on which things I should try out?<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/smartos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smartos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openindiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openindiana</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensolaris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensolaris</a>

Stefano MarinelliMy friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/</a>Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumosCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumosCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Community</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OSS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZFS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bhyve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bhyve</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kvm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kvm</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/snac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#snac</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITNotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ITNotes</a>

Stefano MarinelliI think it's time to write an <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> for this account as well!I'm Stefano Marinelli, Barista of the illumos Cafe and the BSD Cafe. I'm a technology and open source enthusiast, a strong advocate for <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OwnYourData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OwnYourData</a>, and against computer monoculture, even when it comes to open source solutions. I've been active in the <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> for years and am a firm believer in it. I decided to found this Cafe to bring the positive spirit of the BSD Cafe to curious and passionate users of <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a> based operating systems (<a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/OpenIndiana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenIndiana</a>, etc.).I'll mainly use this account for content related to this instance and illumos-based operating systems, while my account at the BSD Cafe - <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stefano@bsd.cafe</a> - remains my primary one.For more information about the illumos Cafe, you can read the introductory post here: <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/</a><a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/illumosCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumosCafe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.illumos.cafe/tags/BSDCafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSDCafe</a>

Stefano MarinelliI've never hidden my admiration for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/illumos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#illumos</a>-based systems. I have a few setups based on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, and they're solid as a rock. I like them both: OmniOS is more "malleable", while SmartOS is more of a hypervisor like <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xcp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xcp</a>-ng or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xen</a> - meaning you install it on the host and delegate everything else to the zones.I also love <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> jails, but zones sometimes cover use cases that jails can't (and vice versa). For example, imposing RAM limits in jails works, but it effectively "denies more ram" to a process when it requests more memory. The end user doesn't see this directly. On illumos, the user sees everything. I have some `lx` zones with Debian and Virtualmin, and users have never noticed that they aren't really on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a>. A free or top will show only the assigned RAM.And that's one of the biggest problems with open-source operating systems: they all have something good, and I always feel the urge to use them all! 🙂<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SysAdmin</a>

Stefano MarinelliAs a Barista at BSD Cafe, I'm also an admirer of tea – a metaphor for my appreciation of the good features of other operating systems. And the fact that I like and support BSDs doesn't mean I don't appreciate those other solutions. For example, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SmartOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartOS</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OmniOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OmniOS</a>, and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Tribblix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tribblix</a> are superb examples of well-crafted operating systems. Similarly, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> - <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openSUSE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#openSUSE</a> Tumbleweed-based desktops give me a lot of satisfaction every day.The foundation of my passion for Open Source also stems from the ability to study, explore, and choose without constraints or restrictions. It's that sense of freedom that drives me to appreciate the good in every solution.If and when I feel caged or forced, all of that vanishes.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Freedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Freedom</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IT</a>
