Feature request: let users bring arbitrary VPS OSes (boot VPS from user-provided ISO?)

[Lex-2008]

this will let users install with their favorite Linux distros (Arch, Fedora, SUSE, what else). Probably documentation needs to be provided what configurations are required (cloud-init, how to setup network and what else is needed), and there might be some danger that misconfigured VPS might have some negative consequences to appbox own infra... But on the other hand, malicious user might (mis)configure debian container, too?

Support-wise, I believe appbox can say "this is an advanced feature: we provide documentation, everything else is your own responsibility"

Are there any OSes you'd like to request which we don't support here: https://www.appbox.co/apps?category=VPS

Bring your own ISO is difficult as we need a specially crafted seed-iso with the cloud-init config to configure networking and other things,

To be fair, my favorite Linux distro (Arch) is already there, so i don't need this anymore. And I see there are 0 votes for it, so 🤷
