Right, I’m back to focussing on Domain* now that another round of dev is complete on Kitten** and, two years after I originally asked the question: does anyone know of a comparable service to Hetzner Cloud (API, affordable, very quick server setup, VPS) that supports CoreOS?
I still can’t find any. And my attempts to get Hetzner to support it have failed (mostly due to lack of interest on Fedora’s side)
@aral you can install coreos on hetzner using the rescue mode.
Using terraform: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/howto-hcloud-terraform-fedora-coreos
Manually: https://major.io/p/deploy-fedora-coreos-in-hetzner-cloud/
@dragnucs Thanks, but that doesn’t work for my use case.
@aral I see. Then after creating the server you may want to take a snapshot of it and remove the VPS. You can use this fresh snapshot to create new VPS. However I haven't figured out a way to re run cloud init on servers started that eau from the snapshot. My solution was to hop to Debian.
@dragnucs Thanks. Yeah and plus server setup from a custom image is orders of magnitude slower than the optimised server images Hetzner has for Ubuntu, etc.
