Ceres is the unstable branch and changes on a daily basis. There is no
installer for it (that I know of). If you want to create a Ceres VM,
start with an Ascii one and

sed -i 's/ascii/ceres/' /etc/apt/source.list
apt update
apt upgrade

as root, of course. Depending on Ceres' stability, the upgrade may or
may not go without much trouble.

Alternatively, you can use debootstrap to build a Ceres chroot or run a
Docker container with one of my Docker Devuan images for Ceres

docker pull registry.gitlab.com/paddy-hack/devuan:ceres

This image is basically the result of running debootstrap for ceres.

Hope this helps,
