On: RancherOS: An OS for Docker Containers

[zaius]

Regarding the "Ideal for Production" tagline - how would I go about running this in production? Specifically on linode - would I have to run a "regular" linux and then use kvm to run the rancheros iso?

[jdub → zaius]

I don't think you can install and run arbitrary stuff on Linode, so you'd have to convince Linode to provide an OS image for RancherOS.

(Or goof around copying stuff onto a disk image.)

[akerl_ → jdub]

You can certainly run arbitrary stuff on a Linode; I'm currently running a custom-built read-only Arch image.

You do have to put it there yourself, but if RancherOS is billing itself as small and easy to update, that seems like it shouldn't be hard.
