Re: What operating systems does Metal support?
As of October 2024, Equinix Metal supports arange of operating systems , including: AlmaLinux Alpine Linux Debian Flatcar Linux FreeBSD Nutanix Red Hat Enterprise Linux Rocky Linux Ubuntu VMware Cloud Foundation VyOS Windows Server If we do not offer an operating system or a version of an operating system that meets your use-case, you can bring your own OS images usingCustom iPXE. Licensed operating systems may require that you bring your own license, or are provided with an extra per-hour and sometimes also a per-core fee. All of our operating system images go through a validation process in order to be provisionable on our server plans. Not all operating systems are available on every server. Which operating systems are available on a specific server is listed on its product page and on theOS Compatibility page.12Views0likes0Comments- 30Views0likes0Comments
Re: NixOS support
Vaci- we enable booting a lot of operating systems over Custom iPXE asJantzennotes, and there's a helpful front end to that system using netboot.xyz . There's docs athttps://deploy.equinix.com/developers/docs/metal/operating-systems/custom-ipxe/#using-netbootxyz-examplethat should line up with the NixOS docs athttps://nixos.wiki/wiki/Netboot.1.6KViews2likes0Comments
