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

Take a look here for more details (a bit dated, it's from November last year): https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/wiki/Presentations#openfest-2020

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.

Check out this project: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler

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 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
