I think there's FreeBSD images for all the clouds now.

You would need to do more work yourself to fetch and run jails probably, and I don't know if there's a hosted repository of 'jail images', but in return, you'd probably have a nicer system (at least, I'd like such a system more than running containers on google container optimized linux)



Bastille has “templates”: https://bastillebsd.org/templates/


Not Hetzner, sadly.


You can always upload your own, it's pretty simple doing so in a reproducible manner using something like Packer, but even without it you can just boot a VM into a rescue system, write your OS of choice to the VM disk and reboot.


Is it doable on a VPS? The documentation made it sound like it was for dedicated only. I went with OVH for this reason (which was cheaper anyway).


It is, yeah, the process is the same: boot into a rescue system running in memory, and do whatever you want with the disk.
