hacktoberfest2021 VS uyuni

I also participate in maintaining a repo https://github.com/abhpd/hacktoberfest2021. I focus on java snippets that can be used in a real world application.

related to a recent discussion about Java exceptions (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36708759), this project clearly haz all teh kwal-uh-teee:

If anybody asks, why I am using Leap for the VM: I am using Uyuni to manage my VMs, and I like the fact, that I only have to download Repositories for one distro. I am willing to use another distro though, if it is on this list. But I do need confirmation, that the distro is really easy to set up, with the amdpro drivers and Jellyfin, before I go and download hundreds of GB of repositories into my Uyuni setup.

In regard on how to distribute things: If you just want an installation server then I would recommend Cobbler. This server is what is used by Uyuni under the hood for auto-installations. But this would be only reasonable if you really want to try to distribute in a broader way. I am aware that both projects are used from a couple of multiple thousands of machines. So you should be able to bend that system to your desire.

Yesterday, while searching for something unrelated i stumbled upon this code : https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/blob/9954f409ea67b557d18e59c19ca4fb8ce7f448f2/spacecmd/src/spacecmd/shell.py

No, not just a GUI for Salt. Uyuni adds a lot more on top of Salt. This presentation is a bit dated but it gives you an idea: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Presentations#openfest-2020

The OpenFest presentation has some screenshots toward the end of the slide deck - https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Presentations
