Evening all.

I may be making it up in my own head, but I'm sure I read a post on here with regards to a Trisquel 'Cloud' image, that could be used at a 'cloud' provider such as Linode or other. My searching has come up with nothing.

My intention is to run only the services that I do not want to put on my internal LAN, such as a Nebula Lighthouse and potentially others.

Can someone please set me straight? Thanks in advance for any responses.

EDIT: this might in fact be the VPS you are looking for (see below). You can go about your business.

GNUTransfer has "autoinstallable" Trisquel images for their paid VPS service, if that's what you are looking for: https://www.gnutransfer.com/en/

Thanks both, I will certainly check these out if they offer Trisquel images!

Thank you Andy Prough for mentioning GNUTransfer. It is a new thing to
me. I wish they success.

I haven't tried GNUTransfer's service, so I'm not recommending them. Just telling the OP that they exist and that they claim to have the Trisquel images available.

Happy to provide feedback as I progress.

Have managed to sign up; their website and VPS manager are a little clunky, but functional. Shall update here as/when I get a VPS up and running.

Thanks for your feedback, Josh. Are there some screenshots?

Managed to get a machine up, apologies for the delay. Been away with work then away on holiday.

I'll leave some screenshots below. Didn't take any of the sign-up or purchasing process, but it's all fairly self-explanatory. This is as-is following machine creation with the Trisquel image.

Very clunky as previously mentioned, but functional. Also came in $3 cheaper than advertised for some reason, small victories!

Happy to answer any questions on it. My plan is to orchestrate the machine with Ansible (currently learning). First job is to see if it can be upgraded from Flidas to Etiona, with a view to upgrading to Nabia once it releases.
