Everything you need to boot.
Installer media and ready-made guest images, with a catalogue of one-microVM app stacks on the way. Verify the checksum, write it, boot it.

GoInstaller media.
One live ISO installs either target distribution. Boot it on the machine, or boot it and drive the installer over SSH from your desk.
No installer build is published right now — check back soon.
Every ISO ships with a .sha256 alongside it. Check it before writing: sha256sum -c hosteros.iso.sha256. These are development builds — a tagged release build is not published yet.
Guest images, already prepared.
ZFS-backed templates with cloud-init in place, so a deploy is a clone rather than an install. Drop one into your template dataset and hoster vm deploy can use it immediately.

632.5 MB gwit-debian-13-mvm-docker-20260901-0433.zipListed live from images.hosterstack.com, the same catalogue the CLI resolves against. Each archive is a .zip containing a single disk0.img — a 5 GiB sparse raw disk that compresses hard. microVM images ship Docker preinstalled.
The apps you actually run, one microVM each.
Coming very soonThis is where the compose stacks will live — each one sized for a single microVM, and wired into the storage, snapshots and networking the host already gives it. Nothing here is downloadable yet.
