UBOS Linux
IN BRIEF

As its name states, the UBOS distro is designed to put you in charge. An Arch derivative, the distro simplifies the rollout and management of popular web tools. The distro is available for 64-bit PCs, all editions of the Raspberry Pi including the Zero, as well as virtual machines, containers, and cloud.

UBOS is a distro that helps reduce the amount of time required to set up and maintain common network programs and services. Essentially, UBOS automates much of the administration, reducing actions such as deploying complete web tools, securing the connection with SSL certificates and more, down to a single command.

You can use the distro on a variety of physical, virtual and cloud hardware. Deploying it is as simple as uncompressing the downloaded image for the target platform, and writing it to a USB disk, or attaching it to a virtual machine.
