Do you think you can do a blog post or tutorial for running SmartOS on the popular providers and getting to the point of deploying a basic Rails app with PostgreSQL in Docker etc.? The SmartOS documentation looks ...sparse, and there aren't many recent blog posts on SmartOS, most existing ones are from <2017.
- doublerebel 8y agoSmartOS runs on Hetzner, OVH, EveryCity, MNX, GigaVPS, and more. The nice thing about Solaris: the system doesn't change too rapidly, so the documentation doesn't need to change either. On a SmartOS container, Rails and Postgres can be installed from the package manager and automatically configured as a service. Running a Docker image on Joyent Triton cloud is just a one-line CLI command. SmartOS is built for the cloud, and is usually semi-managed by the provider. If it's worth your effort to run a separate SmartOS cluster, you'd know. But there is also Project FIFO for that: https://project-fifo.net https://project-fifo.net
