We have a big machine running OpenSolaris that handles our webserver/database/etc. We’d like to use a zone to run the asset server as well. Has anyone gotten the asset server to compile/run on OpenSolaris? Are there any Linux specific calls in the source version that might cause problems?
Thanks
The Unity Asset Server is mostly a plain PostgreSQL server, so I think that it should just work. However the installer might not, so you might need to install on a different server and make a database dump which you then transfer.
However it’s been a long time since I was involved in that part of the product so I’m not 100% sure. I’ll try to find out for you!

The source version compiles and runs fine, I just had to tweak some of the scripts to get it to work. Are there any source changes to PostgreSQL that you guys make or could I use one of our tested PostgreSQL builds and execute the population scripts against it (or dump the db from a linux install and import into ours)?
I didn’t get a chance to actually test it w/ Unity as we don’t have Asset Server licenses yet, but the server did start up and it did get populated with the default tables and stored procedures.
Once I get it working I’ll post instructions for others who might want to use OpenSolaris.
