Docker works, but you still may have variability in the host OSHi all
I am reviving this thread because I thought about another idea that can be used here..
In 1 word: docker.
While docker will not set up the Host OS of a RPi like I asked for in this thread's title,
it is useful for groups of programs that we have, that need a certain installation and configuration,
and that we wish to have it identical on every Linux machine that we have (even a cloud one, like a VPS),
sparing us from the need to go over the whole Installation and Configuration process.
Examples:
- Development Environment programs
- Several Server Programs for a certain Purpose
and anything we use Containers for..
So I am adding this here in case someone finds this thread, and can use this idea too,
in addition to all the ones that were already written.One thing to note, is that according to docker's Installation Prerequisites,
it is reuired to have a 32bit RPi OS, and not the 64bit one.
See here:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ ... requisites
Edit:
docker is available also for 64bit RPi OS,
see trejan's post below..
There is also docker configuration you may want to be different from the default install. For example, you may want to run docker as a non root user. That requires extra care than just apt install docker.
But he's, your containers will always be the same as long as you don't need to update them.
