like RedHat (RHEL/Fedora), Debian (and derivatives), BSD (FreeBSD,
I have a virtual server host (Proxmox) so I can build VMs for testing.
I have experience (install & system admin) with Rocky Linux (RHEL not Fedora)
and have also used Debian (derivatives, like Ubuntu at the system level are the
same I believe) and FreeBSD. This is all non desktop straight server installs.
Solaris... is obviously another topic ;-)
Solaris is easy, it just works under
proxmox/VMware/VirtualBox/qemu/whatever.
The only real problem is that the 11.4 free-to-use installation media
and VM image are quite of date, and the CBE isn't that recent either.
And, of course, you have to create an account with 2MFA to get at
things. Sigh.
If you do decide to add Solaris to your mix, use the Text installer, not
the Automated Image installer.
My postfix installation started life back on Solaris 10, and as I have
access to updates I've just kept it alive.
I use Panda-IMAP for the back-end and (looks at re-make script) 11.4 has
Cyrus SASL2, but I had to build my own lmdb and for reasons I built a
later OpenSSL than is provided.
So:
make tidy
make
make makefiles \
shared=yes \
default_database_type=lmdb \
default_cache_db_type=lmdb \
CCARGS="-m32 \
-DUSE_TLS -DUSE_SASL_AUTH \
-DUSE_CYRUS_SASL -DNO_DB -DEAI \
-I/usr/include/sasl \
-I/opt/local/include" \
AUXLIBS="-m32 \
-lsasl2 \
-lssl -lcrypto" \
AUXLIBS_LMDB="-R/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -llmdb"
Cheers,
