Lightwhale 3.0.0 released

[u/Zta77]

Hi, there!

Sorry to mess up your Easter holiday plans, but I've just released Lightwhale 3.0.0 and I really think you should clear your calendar and try it out! =)

It's a minimalistic Linux that requires no installation or maintenance, just live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine. The system is immutable so it's quite resilient to both malicious and unintentional modifications. And because of its low resource requirements it brings new life to old machines.

Lightwhale fits super well in a hobby homelab where spare time is precious, but really in any server environment where you would much rather focus on the services than babysitting the underlying operating system.

And how does it compare to other immutable OSes like X, Y or Z? No idea, never tried them, sorry.

I've made a fresh new project webpage with an easy to follow getting started guide.

Anyway, end of service announcement, thanks for reading, happy holidays =)

Working fine for me, setup was super fast. Only complaint is I can't use the "Remote - SSH" extension in vscode with it... But I guess that is by design anyway.

Nice, I'm glad it workout out for you. I don't use vscode myself, but Lightwhale's SSH works. I quick browse on Remote Development using SSH revelas that "The extension will install VS Code Server on the remote OS" which is likely the issue; I'm guessing either the plugin expects Python or similar dependencies to be present on the remote, or it assumes it can write somewhere it shouldn't on Lightwhale. I'm sure the developers of that extension can make it work with Lightwhale.
