Headless by design
Cayo leaves the desktop behind and keeps the system focused on remote administration, services, and durable server work.
Cayo · Headless server
A stable place
for useful services.
Cayo is a composed server image for small infrastructure, homelabs, and remote machines. It keeps the operating system quiet so services and containers can be the interesting part.
Headless · Containers · Virtualization
Containers included
Podman, Distrobox, Buildah, crun, networking plugins, and the surrounding container stack are ready without first reshaping the host.
Built for the machine room
OpenSSH, NetworkManager, mDNS, performance tuning, current firmware, and the Debian backports kernel form a capable starting point for servers and labs.
For systems with a job
Run the workload.
Keep the host uneventful.
Use Cayo as a durable foundation for containers, development infrastructure, and virtual-machine-adjacent workloads. Its role is to make operational changes understandable and reversible.
