Does anyone know if there is ssh/root access and what OS the servers are running?
- subsequentmask 4y agoThese are VPSs. You can SSH, use the root user, and when setting up you can choose what OS to use, they give a list or iirc they let you upload your own ISO.
- cstuder 4y agoAny recommendations for an uncomplicated server OS which will just run Docker, SSH and not much more? I'm currently running Ubuntu but am open to alternatives. My local Raspberry Pi uses a fun, but little maintained OS called Hypriot which is just this: Start Docker and not much more.
- regularfry 4y agoJust stick Debian on it. It'll be familiar enough from your Ubuntu experience, and if all you're going to do is slap Docker on it and run everything in containers you can just use Debian Stable, not care that things in the repo might not be bang up to date, stick unattended-upgrades on it, and never really worry about it until dist-upgrade time.
- layer8 4y agoSeconding this.
- NortySpock 4y agoDietpi is what I switched to. Maintained, light on logging unless you ask for it (saves your SD card from wear and tear), and focused on low host-os resource usage while still being Debian-based.
- chpatrick 4y agoUbuntu is fine for that use case.
- subsequentmask 4y agoI'm quite a large fan of Debian, it's my go to choice for anything server personally. It's pretty good for what you want here IMHO, it's stable so you won't really have to worry about packages screwing you over and like another comment said you can stick unattended-upgrades on it :)
- yrro 4y agoRHEL, Debian. If you're serious about running _everything_ in containers, then maybe RHEL Edge? RHEL + microshift? Fedora Silverblue? openSUSE MicroOS?
- e12e 4y agoYou probably want podman, not Docker, on RedHat (and SuSe).
