x86, x86-64, ARM: Open source: Free: Linux distribution running from a RAM drive. Its original target was small appliances like routers, VPN gateways, or embedded x86 devices. However, it supports hosting other Linux guest OSes under LXC control, making it an attractive hosting solution as well. Uses Busybox and musl. ClearOS: Active
Two types of virtualization are supported: container-based with LXC (starting from version 4.0 replacing OpenVZ used in version up to 3.4, included [10]), and full virtualization with KVM. [11] It includes a web-based management interface. [12] [13] There is also a mobile application available for controlling PVE environments. [14]
