netbootd: automate OS provisioning (PXE booting), DHCP, TFTP, HTTP server
I wanted something that is almost zero-config, almost zero footprint (does not mirror packages, unpack ISOs, etc) to deploy on TORs and completely flexible in crafting preseed files, boot parameters, etc. The industry-grade Foreman makes it extremely difficult to iterate on crafting the perfect preseed mix in a shared-Foreman scenario, with its elaborate API model. I wanted a manifest that has-it-all. As an IaaC/Ansible user, I wanted to be able to ask netbootd to serve a given host (and stop serving it) on the fly, with a very simple API.

Tracking customization: Open Build Service, KIWI NG (SUSE Studio Express), other thoughts?
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.
