Hello, I am Jeremy Soller, the creator of Redox OS. Let me know if you have any questions!

I'm always excited to see news on Redox. It's an incredible project.

How close do you think Redox is to being able to run server-type workloads? For example, what would it take to spin up a Redox VM on Proxmox and have it run a basic Axum server? Is that possible today? If not, what are the remaining steps to get there?

Arguably, server workloads will be the most popular use case for Redox in the short or medium term if you assume that it will be mostly considered for where Linux is already used.

I DO!

The last time I tried Redox I was unable to compile Rust on the operating system itself.

Is that possible yet? It would be very cool in my opinion for it to be possible to run entirely without another operating system (theoretically). :D

rustc is working on Redox, cargo is not working yet. There are issues with cargo pulling the registry that will need to be solved.

That section on issues with the donation is interesting, and probably hugely stressful. Can you expand on that?

There isn't much more to say, and it is still in legal hell so I should not say more anyways.
