Local OpenSIM Setup

[Noodles]

I was wondering if anyone had any current tutorials on setting up local OpenSIM instance. Kind of preferrably using Docker (gag, I have become a Docker person why???)

Hypergrid capability would be nice but not necesarily required.

A lot of what I find seems like its outdated or there is no real guide on how to use it.

I'm just gonna bump this one because it's the last thing posted here and I'm still looking for any suggestions on this.

Which OS?

I was able to run it on it Linux by installing dotnet-8.0, 9.0 does NOT work. ran it with "dotnet OpenSim.dll", used the default configuration.

Logged in as "Test User" with the password I put in using Firestorm Opensim release, connecting to "localhost"

The hard part was figuring out I needed 8.0!

I suppose that would be helpful.

In Ubuntu Linix.

I womder if that is a problem, I thi k I went through a tutorial and just did whatever the default dotnet was, which is probably the newest.

I'll give that a try.

Opensim uses a lot of incoming ports to be able to run. Also depending on your setup and number of regions it these change quite a bit. Having to manage that changing set of ports within Docker is a PITA.

There are some docker images around. I would not use them though due to that.

Just setup a local instance of MySQL, run up Opensimulator by yourself and you are good to go. The software itself is well documented on opensimulator.org.

Yeah, I have like 3 different docker set ups bookmarked but have not gotten it working. I do think I found one hurdle and fixed it though. I had trouble updating the local MySQL with sudo apt update, it kept failing to start or something. I changed what port the docker version uses (for something not opensim) and thst fixed itself.

But last I tried (fairly recently actually) the Docker OpenSIM was still not working. I may scrap that one and try again, or maybe just go with a non docker set up. I just hate having to use Screen to keep it running.
