Manager on FreeBSD
Hi Guys,
Just a purely out of interest post here.
Has anybody tried running Cloudstack on FreeBSD in a production environment?
If so did you encounter any issues?
Thanks,
Ian

I don't see a point in doing that anyway.

The problems are likely in places where the Java code interacts with the OS
itself. It would be an interesting experiment to try though!

Famous last words.... "I'd imagine there is no issues since its java based"
YMMV depending on who wrote the code :)

No just for running the manager. I'd imagine there is no issues since
its java based but said I'd send a mail to get the community
experience if any.

You mean as a guest? if so, I have tried it on KVM and it works well.

Yup. It certainly would be a path to that.

A few months back I was playing around with CloudByte's ElastiStor which is a FreeBSD ZFS based storage solution. The interesting thing is that their management interface is built with the Apache CloudStack management framework. At the time, the interface was almost identical to stock CloudStack. in fact, it was so identical that one might even assume that it is really cloudstack thats controlling their storage layer.
In short, they have the "UI" running with their propriety storage adapters on FreeBSD 8.x IIRC. Their evaluation builds are available from http://www.elastistor.info/builds/.

As a side note, having Apache CloudStack manager work on FreeBSD would clear a path for creating and distributing production ready "cloudstack appliances". These appliances would be fully compliant with the permissive ASF guidelines.
