@CyReVolt In this respect, distributions like Alpine Linux (or smolBSD) are probably the best solutions. In practice, you get only the bare minimum needed to boot. After that, you decide what your base system should be.

#smolBSD can now boot a root RAMdisk using QEMU's -initrd thanks to @khorben <3
SMOL kernels updated accordingly, git pull https://github.com/NetBSDfr/smolBSD !

Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!
BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.
You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.
This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy #RUNBSD!
This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!

Want to try #smolBSD in no time without building, fetching, or even reading the doc?
$ curl -fsSL -o- https://smolbsd.org/sh|sh
No root needed, only qemu. It should work on Linux amd64, arm64, and macOS.
This will fire up a NetBSD rescue image with minimal tools!

The new @BoxyBSD platform gained some new features for a better #BSD experience!
* The new portal now also finally supports VNC access to your BSD based VPS instances!
* You can finally select ISO files which offers you even to install any BSD or #OpenSolaris version from scratch or to install your VPS instance based on your personal needs without relying on a ready2use image. More images can be added upon request quickly. Simply get in touch with @gyptazy
* You can now get up to 2 free VPS instances to test and evaluate HA setups, multi-region setups etc.
* Extended DN42 peering (where you can also use your DN42 IPv4 addresses)
This is created by @gyptazy and if you're interested into more information, just come to the FOSDEM 2026 for a chat!

The updated control panel at @BoxyBSD by @gyptazy
@gyptazy #FreeBSD #NetBSD #OpenBSD #FreeVPS #Hosting #IPV6 #BGP #DN42 #smolBSD #RUNBSD #BSD #BSDHosting #Hosting #FreeHosting #community #opensource
We at @BoxyBSD are happy to announce our new and modern website!
While the missions keeps the same by providing a free place for beginners to learn, educate themselves and test things in the wild on BSD-based systems (such like #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD (or even #smolbsd) and many more ones) with public accessible IP addresses, the old nerdy design only hit a niche of users.
We want to make BoxyBSD more accessible & enjoyable to everyone and this is one of the first steps. We know, a laggy SSH connection doesn't make fun and therefore, we're also setting up new locations to provide you a better latency independent of your location.
During this time, signups for new users are currently deactivated until the new locations are up and running and the first real-user tests within the new interface have been successfully performed.

Thanks to @gyptazy for this :)
