- Setting up Sun Ray server on OpenIndiana Hipster 2025.10 involves VM configuration, installing SRSS packages, applying manual patches, and configuring services.
- Install OpenIndiana in a Proxmox VM with specific hardware settings like VirtIO RNG, IOMMU enabled, and use the GUI installer.
- Update system and enable hipster-encumbered repository before installing sunray-essential package and Sun Ray Server Software (SRSS) version 5.4.0.0.
- Manually install Java Runtime Environment and Apache Tomcat from SRSS Supplemental directory, then apply OpenIndiana patches and fix script issues.
- Configure SRSS using utconfig, set up ISC DHCP, enable remote administration, and adjust policies for client connections without hotdesk support.
- Switch from LightDM to GDM for graphical login, ensure MATE session, start Sun Ray services with utstart, and point DTUs via DNS or manual IP entry.
- Extract DTU firmware from Linux SRSS package, set up TFTP server with utfwadm, and access Sun Ray Web Administration on port 1660 for management.
