Does anyone know of a hosting service that offers Silverblue as a possible choice for OS?

It seems to me that for a server running only docker services the greatly reduced attack surface of an immutable distro presents a definitive advantage.

    I use https://fedoraproject.org/coreos/ for my server/website. My host doesn’t offer it as an image so I have to upload it myself, but I use an ISO I made with the CLI to automatically set up everything anyway. It works pretty well, I configured auto updates and I can just forget about it.

      Thank you for the tip. Unless my understanding is wrong both OS are similar, Coreos targeting more precisely Kubernetes and cluster management. Had a quick look, but definitively will read more about it.

        I’ve used coreos happily on homelab bare metal.

        PXE booting it with cloudinit/ignition automation for provisioning.

        It’s make for an excellent VPS.
