Does anyone know of a hosting service that offers Silverblue as a possible choice for OS?

It seems to me that for a server running only docker services the greatly reduced attack surface of an immutable distro presents a definitive advantage.

    I don’t know about Silverblue, but I know you can use NixOS on pretty much any VPS using the tool nixos-infect.

    Not sure how it would reduce your attack surface though. That’s not really the problem that they are trying to solve.

      Thank you, good to know. Not as straightforward as directly installing distro but certainly worth considering.

      As to why it reduces attack surface please see answer provided to other comment.
