What was your motivation for setting this up? What kind of uses did you have in mind? Virtual shared hacker space?

Edit: also, what motivated you to use Void Linux? I’m not familiar with it, but I’m always curious to hear about new Linux distributions! (Especially ones like Void that are unique.)

It started as a tiny vm for playing around with, then I came across the article [1] and started doing the sections until it was ready to open to other users.

As for Void Linux, it's the distro all my machines run. It's stable, lightweight, feels like a bsd, and the automated package build system is fantastic. I started with Fedora in 2016 and used it for years, but switched to Void after becoming disillusioned with systemd issues on my server.
