Sorry to say but that is bad advice. SmartOS is great and it was cool tech, but it is not Linux and it doesn't act like Linux is certain scenarios.

My favourite example is OOM .. Linux will kill your docker container. SmartOS locks it up and makes it super hard to see understand why it failed.

I like smartos but I have painful memories from about a decade ago.

Incus however is what in use now in Linux.



That's kind of a silly argument though. You'd maybe get a lockup if you didn't set memory limits on your containers.

If anything the correct behavior is indeed to NOT kill your container.


Ah well different tools for different folks, sorry to hear you couldn't get it going.
