Hi Jack,
I'm thrilled to read that you are interested in using Sculpt OS as a
server. I've been "dreaming" of migrating my homeserver to Sculpt OS
myself. I think it's an interesting use case that no one has seriously
investigated so far. When it comes to hosting a bunch of virtual
machines, Sculpt OS is ready to be explored as a server OS.
I'm planning to use a ZimaBlade SBC for my Sculpt-based homeserver.
However, as I'm only doing this as a pet project, progress is rather
slow. There are a bunch of things I want to improve w.r.t. administering
headless Sculpt systems. I would also like to explore whether we can
establish a way to deploy Fedora Core OS instances via Ignition on
Sculpt. I will share my progress on genodians.org...stay tuned.
Regarding your hardware choice: I would expect some difficulties since
it is based on Xeon, which is a bit different from the Intel
desktop/laptop platforms that we use for Sculpt on a daily basis. You
might give it a try, though.
Cheers
Johannes

Hello, I am interested in the possibility of using SculptOS as a server?
I am not sure how viable this is as I am still learning how to use SculptOS and
what capabilities it has. But to me, it seems like the perfect server OS
because it is focused on capability security and uses a micro kernel which has
many benefits such as isolation/sandboxing and stability due to driver crashes
being in user-space instead of kernel level etc.
I was planning to use NixOS and run several docker containers as my home NAS
and email server, however, I see no reason why I couldn't run docker containers
in a virtual machine on Sculpt OS instead? Then it would be a lot more secure
and an interesting project to try and use it as a server.
I plan to use the HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10 Plus V2 which is an Intel
based server computer. So it should be compatible with SculptOS.
