Thank you. Ups totally forgot about Show HN thing For your question: Primary it was created to automate process of building many different presets for machines I use. So I can export one variable run 'make build' command and as a result I get disk image (storage/sda.img) that I can 'burn' (dd) onto hard drive of my laptop for example. But of course you can do whatever you want with disk image - upload to VPS provider, convert to VirtualBox disk image (VDI) etc. So yeah if you create preset that include all your required binaries and setup than it can be for sure used as self hosted OS app. That is why I also provide minimal example. I want NiceOS to be basically bootstrapper for whatever you needs - if you need only small kernel and few binaries you can do that with NiceOS, if you want full blown ubuntu kernel config + 3000 apt packages NiceOS can do that too and if you need something in between no problem also.
