Hi,
Is there any install ISO (not USB) image for x86, or plan for provide?
many VPS requires ISO image to install, and it is freindly for vitrual machine such as VirtualBox and QEMU.

Here is the method that I could run umbrelOS USB installer on VirtualBOX.
- extract and mount USB installer with
losetup -P /dev/loop0 umbrelos-amd64-usb-installer.img
mount /dev/loop0p2 /mnt
andmksquashfs /mnt squashfs.img
- create RedHat style LiveOS image (I used vmlinuz and initrd from CentOS-stream 9).
- boot from LiveOS image and install virtual storage
- after install, enable EFI support and re-start virtual machine.
- enjoy umbrelOS world
I think MBR bootloader support is required.
And umbrelOS is not suitable for VPS. I tried and learned that the OS is strongly-aimed for home server.

Can you share the exact steps you took (down to individual commands), so I can make a script out of this?
