x64 build seems to be broken :/

Things now are getting quite fast!
Julio
I found reactos the next year
Julio
I used to hate linux also
Julio
Until I found tinycore
Anas
Oleg fixed the sound huh
Anas
And Ring-0 made SMP work
Anas
This is all awesome
Anas
This is awesome
Julio
I am working on a ReactOS server since 2013
Julio
7 years after I got the achievement 😂
Julio
Tons of bugs had to be fixed
Julio
And new ones were discovered
Can
ReactOS Server confirmed?
Jose
What?
Julen
I think he means reactos.org.es is storaged in ReactOS.
Jose
But not downloadable ISO for it?
Jose
Can ReactOS include latest https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2021/09/07/OpenSSL3.Final/
Chungy
I think he's asking about the equivalent of Windows Server.
1. ReactOS isn't sold as a commercial product and has little use for separate SKUs. Windows Desktop and Server do have some different performance defaults, but ReactOS already asks you at install time for "Workstation" or "Server" for that reason.
2. ReactOS has not even attempted to recreate any of the actual server components of Windows Server. Might happen in the future, but that's way off.
Jose
And https://www.openldap.org/
Chungy
some good open source server applications already have Windows ports. Apache, nginx, PostgreSQL, for instance.
Jose
But PostgreSQL do not work yet under ReactOS
Chungy
It did last time I tried :P
Can
Running a server regularly on ReactOS is a milestone
Chungy
whatever it was 2-3 years ago
Jose
It never pass from first loading frame...
Jose
Id like to see working under ReactOS MariaDB and PostgreSQL 😌
Jose
Its a good combination to learn
Chungy
frame? what frame? xD
Jose
First anounce starting application form
Jose
sorry, my english is not enough to explain it
Julen

Yeah, I know but @Julcar_gye is in this aim.

One of my far-future goals is to create a server pack using code from other open source projects
Julio
Http(s), ftp, smtp, dns, firewall, etc
Julio
There are many projects (some cases abandoned) which works very well
Anas
Nice

But why use ReactOS as base?
Services work better in a BSD/Linux environment.

This could be useful for small servers, IMHO
Petrus
Setting a Windows Server is way more difficult.
Petrus
Specially when you have provisioning languages such as Ansible and Salt to automatize installation and config over Linux boxes
Petrus
Not to mention being able to set 1 or more servers in one row
Petrus
Don't go full Carpal Tunnel Champion award, my friend

I have a ergonomic mouse 😅👍 yes, *nix is way ahead, but a Windows server still can be feasible for specific cases (small business with only a few PCs and so on)
Julio
Learning curve my friend
Julio
I learned server basics on windows, and then applied those knowledge on linux
Petrus

I learned both and I remained as Linux Sysadmin because I don't like masochism.
Powershell is a schizo language. Maybe useful, but because there aren't real alternatives.
Machines work for me, not me for them.

Powershell imho is powerful but brings an absurd complication
Petrus

Windows internal IS complicated 😕 So is Powershell
Mike
I like the fact that drives and folders are separated from devices. That's one of the things I don't like much about *nix

Why not? not all are Linux
Anas
If everything is Linux, things will be boring
Petrus
Why not? not all are Linux
I'm not against about experiments.
Now think if you had to configure 3 or more ReactOS VMs to do a mysql cluster or something like that. How many clicks you'd need per VM?
I recommend to be pragmatic. Linux (and UNIX*) systems provide better automatized ways to do config.
Anas
Good point
Anas
But can't we make things easy on ReactOS?
Anas
Just asking, I don't know anything about coding
Jose
I use Devuan Linux as my main system but also use other OP Systems, why not? powershell is very powerfull and differents Linux Shells also.
I am not a guru and never will be but yet i enjoy playing with systems.
BBDD clusters are too advanced and ReactOS is only alpha but is a good option to install those software to learn.

You could think this as a long stress test.
Petrus

More long-term manteinance than stress, I may say.
I've see all kind of tech heresies done on production (legacy systems, they call them) and almost impossible to support over time.
I try to keep server operating systems as much minimalistic I can, to avoid future problems, make upgrading easier and so on.
A desktop OS is complex enough to add services such as http(s) and databases on it and pretend it to be stable.
Petrus
Have you tried to migrate an old service running on a w2003 and discontinued?
Chungy
When ReactOS is out of alpha, it might make a stable enough system for servers.

Spread please!

It's possible to install Microsoft Windows Store on ReactOS?
