You’re free to use legacy kernels or run your own fork.

Multiple ssh connections should really just be managed using Ansible.

Get an oracle cloud account and use their free arm server. You’ll have 24 gb of ram to play with. For free.

Go install systemd then. Last I checked that doesn’t work without glibc.

Ok go run Virtualbox on an alpine distro and let me know how that goes for you.

I would not suggest alpine to someone who has to ask about a distro for a server. Not being glibc based can cause pain, especially for running items that may not be open source.
