  • Alternative to HTTrack (website copier) as of 2023?
    4 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 10 Feb 2023
    I wonder if that's a job for rancherOS since everything in rancherOS is a docker container, https://rancher.com/docs/os/v1.x/en/ . Or is there some better compact OS?
  • Plex server all in one?

    The closest I can think of is the docker. If OP likes docker in their docker then they can start with RancherOS.
  • RancherOS discontinued?
    2 projects | /r/rancher | 29 Sep 2021
    Anyone have any details on RancherOS being discontinued? The site shows that 1.x is in essential mode only, and the link doesn't work for more info. Is there supposed to be a version 2?

    Was it RancherOS?

    > RancherOS is the smallest, easiest way to run Docker in production. Every process in RancherOS is a container managed by Docker. This includes system services such as udev and syslog. Because it only includes the services necessary to run Docker, RancherOS is significantly smaller than most traditional operating systems.

  • Immutability & loose coupling: a match made in heaven
    3 projects | dev.to | 18 Mar 2021
    The nodes are thus totally neutral now. As a result, their templates are greatly simplified, and they can now easily be managed in an immutable way. This new paradigm opened the way to new Operating Systems specialized for container orchestration, such as CoreOS or RancherOS, whose life cycles are meant to be managed with an immutable workflow.
  • Deploying Apostrophe on Docker
    4 projects | dev.to | 11 Mar 2021
    For this example, I'll be using a VPS on DigitalOcean running RancherOS with 2 CPUs and 2GB RAM. RancherOS a lightweight OS designed for hosting containers. If you'd prefer to use another distribution, you'll need to make sure Docker Engine is installed. Instructions for installing Docker Engine can be found in the Docker documentation. Any cloud provider will work just fine but I'd suggest the specs above as minimums.
