        Can I run different Distros in containers or just the same as the host?

          Which file level restore or using tar?

            You can run different distros. But I think you need to match systemd and init between host and container though.

              @johnhooks tar. I assume rsync would work too?

                I think you have to stop the container to do that. Ya rsync works also.

                  How would check that? I am a huge CentOS7 fan 🙂

                    @johnhooks should be super easy to write a script to stop containers, tar them and start them again.

                      I know Ubuntu 15.10 is systemd, CentOS 7 is also systemd. So if you run a CentOS 7 host you can run Ubuntu 15.10 containers (what I'm doing for my XO container).

                        ya. I use Ansible, but you can script it also.

                          I will be using Ubuntu as the host. CentOS7 as the guest 🙂

                                  You could always start with CentOS 7 for containers rather than building them on Ubuntu.

                                      Would you use Scaleway?

                                      For a 2G VM on Vultr I can get 32GB on Scaleway.....

                                        I would start out with their starter server for $2.99 a month and see how the interface and reliability is before you commit to a big project.

                                          Dont really have experience with them. So I can't say one way or the other. For month to month pricing, no reason not to try them out.

                                            If these are physical boxes, the month-to-month pricing is similar to what I'm paying at another provider for bare metal, but I get 1TB of HDD as opposed to SSD.
