With release v0.22.6, we are pleased to announce that metal-stack.io has been officially tested and validated to run on Dell server hardware.

This milestone continues a journey we started last year when we introduced support for an additional hardware vendor. With Dell adding to the list of supported hardware, metal-stack takes another step toward broader hardware compatibility — giving users greater flexibility when setting up bare-metal private cloud environments and reducing dependency on any single vendor.

The testing process validated the operation of metal-stack.io on Dell servers, confirming its readiness for enterprise-grade deployments.

Vendor-Agnostic Serial Console Access​

Alongside Dell support, our pixiecore component was improved: it can now detect the server manufacturer during the boot process. As a result, the serial console is now available for maintenance tasks across all machines in your partition, regardless of vendor — something that was not possible before this release.
