    Guys,

    Thanks for all your shares. So, it seems that it is possible, without
    spending days and days setting it up. Thats great.

    No native OmniOS apache2,php packages available? Does it work well, and
    there is no conflicts on system updates? What about apache2 modules
    availability and php libraries. My project that im planning to run uses
    PEAR repo, is it possibile to install?
    The same questions goes for Python, django. is there pip3 available ?

    I know SFE, i used to use it on OpenIndiana some time ago..That was great
    alternative to native's repositories. I had a access to the compile farm
    even ;) I will try it for everything that i won't be able to find in native
    repos..

    Yep, i'm aware of it. But I would like to keep my Solaris/Illumos skills on
    track since nowadays I am DevOps working with code and Linux mostly, so
    having Illumos home box would be great. On the other hand napp-it probably
    would safe a lot of my time, but the price for it is that i will install
    it, configure it by clicking GUI and thats it. I prefer to get my hands
    dirty, but with reasonable amount of time..

    Cheers
