🌘 在 OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10 上架設 Sun Ray 伺服器
➤ 延續經典，在現代 Illumos 環境下重建 Sun Ray 架構
✤ https://catstret.ch/202605/srss-hipster202510/
本文記錄了在最新的 OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10 作業系統上部署 Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS) 的詳細技術路徑。作者針對虛擬機（Proxmox）的硬體設定、套件依賴管理、以及必要的系統補丁進行了系統化梳理，解決了舊版指南中關於 Java 與 Tomcat 部署的疏漏，並針對新版本調整了網絡與驗證策略，確保 Sun Ray 用戶端能順利連接至伺服器環境。
+ 感謝分享！Sun Ray 雖然年代久遠，但這種瘦客戶端架構在特定工業或教學環境依然很有魅力，尤其是能在 OpenIndiana 這種穩定平臺上運行。

Does anyone have a 3D model of the stand for the Sun Ray 3 Plus? Or the stand itself? I'm willing to pay for the stand and shipping for it.

TIL: Laptop Netzteile von #Fujitsu funktionieren auch für die #ThinClients von Fujitsu.

I have one that that runs Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and runs as my UniFi Controller via a simple setup script.

If I had to do it all over again, I would have installed Proxmox and ran it in a container or VM so that I could back it up that way to my NAS.

You can spend a little bit more for the Extended version of the thin client, which gives you a low-profile PCIe expansion slot for an additional NIC, low power graphics card, or a low power HBA for external storage.

If you are considering getting some really cheap N100 computers or Raspberry Pi 5 boards to set up a relatively low power homelab, you may want to consider looking at Dell Wyse 5070 thin clients with a J4105 or J5005 processor.

They are passively cooled, use a laptop power brick, support up to 8 GB of RAM, and use an M.2 SATA drive (not NVMe) and can be stood vertically or sat horizontally.

Since companies are phasing them out, you can find lots of 5, 10, 25+ on eBay and other corporate off-lease auctions for around $30-45 each.

Getting FreeBSD, Debian, Fedora, NixOS, Arch or any other distribution on them is pretty darn easy. As such, Proxmox is also an option for lightweight containers.

There are some minor tweaks to the firmware settings to allow fwupdmgr to update the firmware version properly (otherwise, use a USB boot drive).

Sure, they are bigger than most N100 or Pi 5 with a case, but the thin clients are sturdy AF and you don't have to worry about fly-by-night sellers hawking N100 systems.

HP thin clients would also work, but I haven't used them before as a homelab server.

Little reminder re #RaspberryPi #IPO: since they have moved over to the dark side now, how about *not* simply rushing to buy alternative "tiny boards"?

When size isn't the top priority, it's occasionally more sustainable to buy used #ThinClients: cheap, and no need for "accessory shopping" (power supply and case "included"). Lots of interfaces. Proper CPUs with AES support. Depending on the model, comparable power consumption.

Currently my favorite: HP t630

Repurposing Thin Clients

Reusing old thin clients - why?

Show threadOS/1337Feb 1, 2024

@howtophil @sjmulder Gramted I do ise @bunsenlabs / #BunsenLabsLinux on some #ThinClients and if I had to install them somewhere I'd likely use @Raspberry_Pi / #RaspberryPiOS or even #PorteusKiosk depending on the use-case.

OS/1337 aims to go even more minimalist and be a sleek option for those that can acceptbsacrificing features for speed and size.

Certainly it's not for everybody but ideally it'll be the foundation for other distros that want to add the desired comfort features to it.

As of now, #TinyCoreLinux can pack a basic #Xorg desktop under 25MB...
