I'm up and running - glitch free - after the initial problem. I'm pleased that at least one organisation offers Devuan for hosting. It would be nice to see others. As always the only thing I don't like about Devuan is that it's not more popular! I've moved most of my physical boxes and my own VMs to Devuan, why hasn't everybody? :-)

Now I can start to migrate my externally hosted VMs to Devuan but devuanhosting.com is in Switzerland. I need a UK location too.

devuanhosting.com - I have tried to sign up for a VM from devuanhosting.com - nothing happened despite the promise it would be live in moments. Anybody know anything about these guys?

Yes, thanks for that and it would have saved me a few more minutes of head scratching. But I still cannot get the headless install to work.

More generally I hark back to my "Devuan will remain a club for the initiated" remark: Support should be *here*, where it would be properly searchable, not on Internet chat. Of *all* the many people I know in the computer industry I am considered perhaps the geek. All you here and I myself know this to be false. But if the best bet at staying free of systemd is made difficult for me, the one in a hundred, and is used only by you, the one in a thousand, then I worry that Devuan is doomed.

My own personal machines are Devuan where they can be, the servers, a virtual and a real desktop, but not the Raspberry Pi's, & not my powerful notebook.

Very cryptic. But thanks for responding. I guess devuan will remain a club for the initiated :-)

Hi! I've got Devuan 1.0 AMD64 up and running on my real fileserver and as both host virtualbox server and main client virtual desktop. Now I want to roll it out to my several Raspberry Pi boxes. They are all headless. I have recently got my 5th Pi, a Zero, and I've installed Debian Stretch on that merely to see if that worked. But I now want immediately to get rid of systemd and here I am, again!

Which image should I use for the Pi Zero? The one for the Pi 3?

And how do I do a headless install?

Thanks for any pointers. I may not need detailed hand holding here, but I do need help.

Thanks for that link re the latest news. But I think there ought to be an optionally public list of donations. I so much like what is happening here that I would be proud for others to see the (small) amount(s) I am prepared to donate.

How does one best encourage donations to help run servers or provide the odd pizza? For example: Ought there be a public donations list? Or would that not be constructive, or against the spirit of the project?
