I did it!! https://repo.ops.city/v2/packages/radiosilence/nano-web/show Well chuffed. I couldn't get ops pkg push to work at all, and instead had to manually upload a tar.gz as no matter what I did, it wouldn't find my local image (though it would find it if I did ops pkg load -l nano-web_0.0.1). Is there some sort of Discord or IRC to ask dumb questions instead of spamming up HN? Either way I've made an issue: https://github.com/nanovms/ops/issues/1594

It seems you are right. The OPS documentation mentions that you can deploy it on bare metal, but this is a recent comment [0] that contradicts that . right now we don't have any plans to support bare metal installs like this as that would imply a bunch of other mgmt related tooling that would not be present (eg: start/stop the server, configure networking, deploy a new one, access rights, etc.) it also breaks the assumptions we have that it is only being deployed as a vm which means having to support a ton of random hardware drivers, nanos is intended to always be ran on top of a hypervisor of some kind - whether it's public cloud or something under your own control (eg: proxmox/vsphere/etc.) It seems like they make some distinction between true bare metal and somewhat bare metal, which
