Show HN: I've built a nice home server OS
ohai!
I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers.
It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon.
If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide.
In any event, have a nice day! =)
