Hi all!

I've been using RancherOS for years as the minimal OS to host all of my containers and it's been working great. Until today.

I updated Redis to its latest version, and got some errors. After some investigation I found that in needs Docker 20 or higher to run. RancherOS has been abandoned, and the latest version you can install is 19.

Do you fine folks know something similar to RancherOS? Thanks!

https://www.talos.dev/

It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.

This looks super interesting. Thanks! One question though; can I still use it if I don't want to use Kubernetes? I just want to deploy a few containers here and there. I was thinking about moving everything to Kubernetes, but it seems a bit overkill for the 10 containers I have running.

I that case, check out Fedora CoreOS.
