Hello, World! 💫

I've been working on a hobby project for some time, and I recently released it. I call it 🥁🎉

Lightwhale

It's a free, minimalistic operating system streamlined for running Docker containers on bare-metal x86 servers. It strives to be zero-installation, zero-configuration, and zero-maintenance, and is very easy to use.

I used to run a home server with Ubuntu and Docker installed, but got fed up with updates, dist upgrades, reinstalls, and endless backups, restores, and rerereconfigurations. Lightwhale is specifically designed to eliminate all this and make home servers fun again. So if you run a similar setup, this is absolutely for you.

Lightwhale isn't limited to home servers, though, but can be used in a variety of use-cases like IoT hub, on-prem enterprise edge server. Anything Docker, really.

Try Lightwhale today! Or ... you know, whenever you have the time and feel up for it. But please, for the sake of your own precious spare time: Do it before your server reaches its next end-of-life 😜
