Malcolm
Docker images
Malcolm operates as a cluster of Docker containers, isolated sandboxes which each serve a dedicated function of the system. Its Docker images can be pulled from GitHub or built from source by following the instructions in the Quick Start section of the documentation.
Installer ISO
Malcolm’s Docker-based deployment model makes Malcolm able to run on a variety of platforms. However, in some circumstances (for example, as a long-running appliance as part of a security operations center, or inside of a virtual machine) it may be desirable to install Malcolm as a dedicated standalone installation.
Malcolm can be packaged into an installer ISO based on the current stable release of Debian. This customized Debian installation is preconfigured with the bare minimum software needed to run Malcolm.
While official downloads of the Malcolm installer ISO are not provided, an unofficial build of the ISO installer for the latest stable release is available for download here.

Read carefully the installation documentation for Malcolm and/or Hedgehog Linux. The ISO media boot on systems that support EFI-mode booting. The installer is designed to require as little user input as possible. For this reason, there are NO user prompts and confirmations about partitioning and reformatting hard disks for use by the operating system. The installer assumes that all non-removable storage media (eg., SSD, HDD, NVMe, etc.) are available for use and ⛔🆘😭💀 will partition and format them without warning 💀😭🆘⛔.
