I think a Debian appliance iso install of ASL (like the rpi one) would be a better approach for Vultr. However, probably the most reliable would be a bash script to do the install. That way people can use any VM provider and any nuances of their Debian ISOs or networking etc. don't need to be taken into account by the appliance build. Plus you can include firewall config, and other helpers for convenience.

Also the VM provider needs to be running KVM (or equivalent) due to the kernel modules ASL installs as OpenVZ or other lightweight virtualisation don't typically support that.

I enjoy reading your work, and used several of them to get me going back in the ASL2 days! 👍

Yay! And now we have ASL3. It continues to run really nicely in my virtual machine. I have not yet tried to install it on a Raspberry Pi. That's coming, though!
