Greetings,

Is there a community Devuan AMI out there?
Sorry, what's AMI in this context?

I was looking for an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) of Devuan.
perhaps what Alexey is working on here comes of use

he is asking for feedback on the devuan-dev mailinglist

"""
I've been busy with Packer and have added more cloud builds and images of
Devuan Ascii for more clouds. Currently, the following clouds build (and
work), with some images available for immediate use:

1. AWS EC2
2. AliYun (AlibabaCloud) ECS
3. Microsoft Azure

I've posted what images I could public. Please test, use, give feedback,
etc. :)

Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for and, added bonus, there is a
procedure to build a new AMI. I'll be digging into this tonight after work.

Hi Josef!

I've done this for other things and found the method is just wee touch 
convoluted as the build doesn't happen on Amazon at all.

In broad brush strokes:

1.) build a virtual image locally (VMWare, Virtualbox etc)

2.) Export the image from the virtualization environment as an OVA

3.) Upload the OVA to S3

4.) "Import" the S3 image.  You have to use AWS command line tools/client for 
this step.

      And no, they aren't actually on Amazon, but on your local system

When I did this, I had to pre-include the ssh keys, so I haven't fully mastered 
the process, but it was good enough for the task at hand.
