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!
That’s what I’m using right now. I am kind of curious if you are aware of any apk using tiny operating systems like alpine but that also have systemd? I want to experiement with quadlets/podman but don’t really want to lose how simple alpine is to administer and how fast it boots.

I use debian as my OS for docker host, then install docker from them as you get the most up to date version
This is my plan B in case I can’t find a lightweight distro to replace RancherOS. Thanks!
Would Alpine be an option?

I tried this recently and it works pretty well! I haven’t migrate my RancherOS deployment yet though. Need tiny bit more testing.
I’d suggest Alpine too. Works great for me so far.
