Sysible Workstation
Debian-stable base. Install it to disk with the Sysible installer — or boot the ISO live first to try it.
sysible, password sysible. Works for both the live session and the installed system. Change it right after first boot with passwd (and update the sudo password too).Install in VMware Fusion (Apple Silicon & Intel)
- Download the
.isofor your architecture (above). - Fusion → File → New → Install from disc or image → choose the ISO.
- When asked for the OS, pick Linux → Debian 12.x (64-bit ARM on Apple Silicon, 64-bit on Intel).
- Give it 4 GB+ RAM and 40 GB+ disk; enable virtualization extensions if you’ll run containers/VMs.
- Boot it. On the Sysible boot menu pick Sysible Workstation (Live) to try it, or Install Sysible Workstation to install to the virtual disk.
- Live/installer default login:
sysible/sysible. open-vm-tools is preinstalled, so clipboard sharing and display auto-resize work out of the box.
Write to a USB stick & boot bare metal
- Download the ISO, then (optionally) verify its checksum with
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS. - Write it with
dd, balenaEtcher, or Rufus (Windows): the image is hybrid/isohybrid, so it boots on both UEFI and BIOS. - Boot from the stick and choose Sysible Workstation (Live) or Install Sysible Workstation.
Sysible Server
A stripped-down, headless Debian-based server base — no GUI — with the container, Kubernetes, IaC, networking and observability tooling to run server software. Hardened SSH on by default.
What’s inside
Docker CE, kubectl, Helm, k9s, OpenTofu, podman/buildah/skopeo, Ansible, nftables and the diagnostics/observability toolkit — plus fail2ban, auditd, AppArmor and automatic security updates. Boots to a console; reach it over hardened SSH.
Sysible Controller CE
Manage your Linux fleet: packages, services, storage, firewall and users from one console.
