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!

    It is a fork of CoreOS, from when they got bought by RedHat and it was abandoned (or rather morphed into being fedora based).

    It is has been fairly stable for me over the past two+ years, with one systemd-resolver snarfu. The auto update being baked in from the get go is nice.

    Only thing to be aware of is that Kinvolk who are the maintainers have been bought by Microsoft, though so far it has not affected anything. Also if you don’t like systemd then it is not for you, as that is more or less all the distribution is.

    They are running docker 20.10.23 on the stable branch atm. https://www.flatcar.org/releases
