Server Software of Interest

• Kubernetes - Really the next base for server operations. I kind of wrap is up as “Core” infrstrucutre
  • RancherOS - Lightweight distro dedicated to running Kubernetes
  • K3OS - Distro developed to run k3s. Based on LinuxKit
• Operation Systems
  • CentOS: My go-to for server installations. Being a Redhat Enterprise clone it is pretty boring, but that’s a good thing for servers :-) http://www.centos.org/
  • Ubuntu: My go-to for desktop installations. Being a Debian derivative makes me happy (first distro I really liked back in the 90s). It’s popularity on the desktop ensures a decent amount of support from hardware and some software vendors. http://www.ubuntu.com/
  • VMWare: The most popular commercial visualization platform. What I use at my day job http://www.vmware.com
• Virtualization
  • Redhat Virtualization: What I use at home for virtualization. Built on Linux KVM https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/#7_Virtualization
• Hosting/Business
  • NextCloud: Sort of Google Docs/Dropbox open source replacement, self hosted. https://nextcloud.com/
  • Gallery: Web-based photo manager, with desktop photo clent. http://gallery.menalto.com/
