Is it suitable to create server images?
I want to create a server with a web server and some other services, would blue build a good option or would it be better to use another tool?

i think it would be the best to just install ucore and run everything in docker containers
But I want to customise some host stuff like certificates
If im correct certificates are installed to /etc and thus should be changeable even on an immutable distros
I would recommend building your own images if you have more than one server, so you only have to do things once. But if you only have one server it is probably more work maintaining your image than just using ucore and changing a few things
Yes, I will have multiple servers
Multiple physical servers?
Yes
I want to bu this minipc( https://slimbook.com/en/zero), install my services and distribute them
also provide the image freely so someone that has a pc can install it himself
Well that changes a lot, i can recommend this, but only if you have sufficient bandwidth for updates as they can be quite heavy
okay
do you tjink NixOs would be better?
That's up to you. I don't know about NixOs, but Fedora Atomic requires rebooting to update
You can build uCore images if you want. UBlue has a base image with no DE if you want to do that
