Setting up a Sun Ray server on OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10
time for another Sun Ray blog post! I've had a few people email me asking for help setting up a Sun Ray server over the last few months, and despite my attempts to help them get it going there's been mixed results with running SRSS on OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10.
my Sun Ray server is still on an earlier OI snapshot, so I figured it was about time to try to actually follow the new guides myself.
first hurdle - VM configuration. this is what worked for me on a PVE 9.0.11 host, but YMMV:
don't start on creation, there's a few things to edit! in the Hardware tab of the new VM...
the config for our new VM looks like this:
after that, start the VM, and boot into the OpenIndiana installer. the GUI installer (there's a shortcut on the desktop of the live image) worked fine for me - although it did pop up a couple of error dialog boxes after starting the install, the install continued with no issues when I closed them. if you walk away while it's installing, and come back to a screen lock - the password for the live user is jack .
