Hi Jack,
I'm thrilled to read that you are interested in using Sculpt OS as a server. I've been "dreaming" of migrating my homeserver to Sculpt OS myself. I think it's an interesting use case that no one has seriously investigated so far. When it comes to hosting a bunch of virtual machines, Sculpt OS is ready to be explored as a server OS.
I'm planning to use a ZimaBlade SBC for my Sculpt-based homeserver. However, as I'm only doing this as a pet project, progress is rather slow. There are a bunch of things I want to improve w.r.t. administering headless Sculpt systems. I would also like to explore whether we can establish a way to deploy Fedora Core OS instances via Ignition on Sculpt. I will share my progress on genodians.org...stay tuned.
Regarding your hardware choice: I would expect some difficulties since it is based on Xeon, which is a bit different from the Intel desktop/laptop platforms that we use for Sculpt on a daily basis. You might give it a try, though.
Cheers Johannes

Hello, I am interested in the possibility of using SculptOS as a server?
I am not sure how viable this is as I am still learning how to use SculptOS and what capabilities it has. But to me, it seems like the perfect server OS because it is focused on capability security and uses a micro kernel which has many benefits such as isolation/sandboxing and stability due to driver crashes being in user-space instead of kernel level etc.
I was planning to use NixOS and run several docker containers as my home NAS and email server, however, I see no reason why I couldn't run docker containers in a virtual machine on Sculpt OS instead? Then it would be a lot more secure and an interesting project to try and use it as a server.
I plan to use the HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10 Plus V2 which is an Intel based server computer. So it should be compatible with SculptOS. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.genode.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@lists.genode.org Archived at https://lists.genode.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@lists.genode.org/mes...
