Your stack, your way

Pick your distro. Build it your way.

Start from a clean, current base image and take it wherever you need. No forced defaults, no bloat — just the distribution you already know.

  • Deploy Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky, AlmaLinux, or Fedora, all kept current.
  • Choose your image at deploy time, or bring your own with a custom ISO.
  • Cloud-init runs your setup on first boot — packages, users, and keys, done.
  • Rebuild to a different distro whenever you want on a fresh instance.
