I wish I started doing this sooner :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:For the first time I tried preconfiguring my raspberry pi os image with an ssh key and wifi settings. So now I never need to plug it into a keyboard and monitor.

What OS are you guys running for RPi? I have a RPi 4B that I have run hypriot OS on but I am eyeballing Thalos and wondering if that's a good choice or not? I had my eyes on K3OS a few years' back but that was discontinued when Darren Shepherd left Rancher/Suse. I want to run k3s or a similar small foot print kubernets distro on it.

I used Sidero's Omni for a while and it was really nice. But I kind of concluded that it was overkill. At the moment I'm just using plain old Raspberry Pi OS, with docker-compose and I like the simplicity of it.

For my Raspberry Pi's I use Raspberry Pi OS.

The only thing I’ve used besides Raspberry Pi OS is Talos. I couldn’t figure out how to get it to join a cluster with the Docker nodes I was running on my Mac, but I think that came down to networking. I’m sure it would’ve been fine if all of my nodes were RPis.

I’m running Ubuntu 22.04 on a Pi4 and Ubuntu 24.04 on a Pi5.
