foreman VS Cobbler

Still a bunch of stuff that runs on ruby that isn't webdev, https://github.com/theforeman/foreman is a big one I can think of. Ruby's quite nice for sysadmin tasks, puppet, chef etc all in ruby iirc.

Foreman

Not to be confused with the larger foreman[0] also written in ruby.

[0] https://theforeman.org

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.

I'm looking for Windows Deployment Services equivalent for my Linux network. At the momment i'm using Cobbler (https://cobbler.github.io/) but i'm are looking for a software where i could place .iso images and PXE boot for any machine.

Take a look at Cobbler. I've used it for quite a few years & love it. It supports both preseed & kickstart.

I haven't setup a PXE server in a long time. There are management tools like MaaS, Collins, Cobbler, etc that deal with the provisioning of systems.

For users and enthusiasts of the Cobbler System http://cobbler.github.io/

if you built a Linux Cobbler server you can do this all

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.

In regard to the installation I would recommend you to have a look at github.com/cobbler/cobbler/ because it would also enable bare-metal provisioning in many scenarios.

What about: Cobbler xCAT
