Custom-Kernel-Launcher-for-Scaleway | custom kernel on Scaleway servers

Custom-Kernel-Launcher-for-Scaleway is a Shell library typically used in Ubuntu applications. Custom-Kernel-Launcher-for-Scaleway has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

The virtual (i.e. not-baremetal) servers available on Scaleway are run within KVM. In theory, this gives you a proper virtual machine that you can do whatever you wish within. However, there currently is no official support for booting a custom kernel, as might be necessary for some more obscure or very new features, or custom patches. Luckily, Scaleway has kindly enabled kexec on their servers. This lets us replace the currently running kernel with another one. With a couple of scripts, we can get this to automatically happen on boot, which gives us a pretty seamless way to get into a custom kernel.
