foreman VS raspberry-pi

I was confused because there is https://github.com/ddollar/foreman and https://github.com/theforeman/foreman

In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be.

I use the foreman with puppet and pxe/kickstart scripts to automate VM/baremetal provisioning etc.

It comes from the remote execution user snippet: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/views/unattended/provisioning_templates/snippet/remote_execution_ssh_keys.erb

KVM & Foreman

Might want to look into https://theforeman.org/ if it's not too complex for you

The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS. Both of these options Sound like what you are headed for unless you really just mean synchronize into a folder and store the images in which case yeah.....just use rsync.

Alternatively, you can use Foreman+Katello, the upstream base of Satellite, to get started in learning the platform. You can also use the component matrix to use the versions that most closely resemble Satellite.

Then copy and edit the AlmaLinux-9-RaspberryPi-console.aarch64.ks file from GitHub https://github.com/AlmaLinux/raspberry-pi/blob/master/AlmaLinux-9-RaspberryPi-console.aarch64.ks.

Relatedly, Alma 8 has a RPI release based on Pablo's work. See here: https://github.com/AlmaLinux/raspberry-pi/

Grab a copy pop it on your Pi and if you have any questions, would like to discuss anything or contribute, join us on the AlmaLinux Community Chat the Forums and Reddit.

We've been pretty busy this year, we've put out 3 releases, 8.3, 8.4 and the latest being 8.5 just last week 2 days after RHEL. We have cloud images on AWS, Azure, GCP and a host of other cloud providers, provide several cloud and container images (we have almost 400K docker pulls!!), Live Images and a Raspberry PI Image. We also released Project ELevate which is an in-place upgrade tool for major version migrations of EL family distributions, which was a HIGHLY request feature for a very long time. We also have a CIS Security Benchmark which was published a few weeks ago. More than anything else though, we are a friendly, open and welcoming community with a diverse set of people from around the world.

The Raspberry Pi image is also updated to the newest version.
