SkiffOS is a lightweight, containerized operating system optimized for embedded systems, edge devices, and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. It integrates Buildroot and Docker to create minimal, reproducible OS images that boot directly into a containerized user environment. SkiffOS supports running full Linux distros or custom applications in containers, providing both performance and modularity. It’s ideal for IoT deployments, secure kiosk systems, and remote-controlled appliances.
