OPSI unter FreeNAS in Betrieb nehmen

[SilenceWithin]

Guten Morgen zusammen,

aus aktuellen Anlass (Planung eines NAS) stelle ich mir gerade die Frage, ob es möglich ist
Opsi unter FreeNAS in einem "Jail" (virtuelle Maschine) zzu betreiben. Kann hier jemand über
Erfahrungen berichten oder Aussagen machen ob das grundsätzlich möglich ist. Das ganze wäre
dann natürlich die ideale Lösung, weil man dann alle Daten und Server Zentral versammelt hat.

Vielen Dank schon einmal im Voraus

FreeNAS runs with FreeBSD.. Running OPSI in a jail might work, if you compile it for your machine.
I would advise you to run VirtualBox in a jail, and use that to run OPSI on GNU/Linux. I think the maintenance will be much less that way.

Hey "Sister"

i am very glad to hear that.
I understand your point. It sounds like VirtualBox is the choice here.
So there is no need for recompiling Opsi once an update is out
and opsi can be updated within the known Environment.

Thank you very much.

Okay, i have found some Information that looks promising.
I am going to work myself into that thing and let you guys know
about the findings. I guess it is going to take a while.

Thanks for the Moment!

FreeNAs 9.2.0-RC has just been released including lots of new features.
The Following is very interesting

* A jails templating system has been added, allowing the quick deployment of
new jails from existing templates and the ability to create custom templates.
Linux jail support has also been added and installation templates are included
for
Debian-7.1.0,
Gentoo-20130820,
Ubuntu-13.04,
Centos-6.4,
Fedora-19,
Suse-12.3.

My Question to the opsi Developers.
Is it possible to install opsi under one of these Systems?

Thank you very much.

I'm not a opsi developer, but you see the supported distributions here:

Thank you for that hint.
I am going to test it inside a Debian 7.1.0 jail...

In ubuntu i got some Error Messages right from the beginning.

I am going to test it inside a Debian 7.1.0 jail...

For better support of the current Debian you can try the experimental repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositori ... erimental/

We do not have any prior experience with OPSI running inside a FreeBSD jail. Support for it is not planned but using their OS templates could work.


Kind regards
