CLI or preseed install available?
have a look around my github i have a bunch of ansible/kickstart scripts there for almalinux. you can insert a kickstart into an iso (not great fun!) to do the basic setup and then pull down an ansible playbook to do the rest. but you're not going to be able to do much the same way arch does.

Need some help with a KVM setup for a project
the way i do it is documented in my script, its basically a bridge with virt-clone and virt-sysprep, i don't use dhcp though.

Need help with preseed.cfg partitioning
I've got some complicated preseeds here if you want to compare

RHEL5 Guest - Hyper-V Virtualization
I have centos 5.11 running under KVM with virtio drivers, my script includes some notes here, should work with rhel5

Pro Tip: you can automate Debian installs using a preseed file
if you're into making vm's from preseed, take a look around my repo as virt-install will blow your mind

AlmaLinux 9 kickstart
I've done loads of RHEL9/alma9 kick-starts, some of which are unmodified from 8, have a look around my libvirt scripts
-
Kickstarting a VM
have a look around my github but the executive summary is:
-
Automate creation of KVM VM and Installation of OS
i have a bunch of virt-install scripts, they configure the vm settings and then either run a kickstart/autoyast/preseed to install the OS, or import an image. similar to what virt-builder does.
- Nested virtualization with KVM and VMWare.

Ubuntu Desktop 24.04 LTS: Noble Numbat
I learned about https://netboot.xyz/ the other day. Worked fantastic when I didn't have a big enough thumb drive. Not exactly the same though.

Show HN: 3 years and 1M users later, I just open-sourced my "Internet OS"
I replied to a reply of yours with this same info, but since you’re both sorta asking the same thing, I’ll post it here for you also.

Ventoy
Knew about http://netboot.xyz, but had no idea iVentoy existed. Good to know.

problems with connection
Set the computer to PXE boot, or use a boot image with iPXE (such as netboot.xyz). That would quickly rule out a problem with Debian or the Linux kernel (at least until you download and boot one). I don't know anything about your network setup, but making sure DHCP is enabled on your router and there are enough unreserved IP addresses would probably help.

Fedora CoreOS for container hosting; is butane/ignition worth the effort?
Hey thanks for the detailed response. You're saying you boot FCOS on bare metal over PXE, correct? I've thought about trying that approach, but have little experience with PXE and TFTP. I just checked out netboot.xyz and it looks surprisingly easy to get going. Last time I played around with PXE I used Synology's TFTP server and, while I got it working, I was more confused by the end than when I started. I think actually learning PXE end-to-end and understanding what I am doing there would be a solid foundation for building my environment the right way.

Custom RAM boot PXE Linux
For netbooting we rely on a netboot.xyz inspired ipxe based setup.

Instance won't even begin to boot after hard restart. Nothing makes sense
[[UPDATE]]: The fix was as 'simple' as going into the 'bios', and selecting 'add a boot option', which automatically came up with the correct EFI file/path, then putting it at the top of the boot order. 'Simple' it wasn't, many new and temporary instances brought online while digging my way through it all, and finally just going with a brand new Debian Bookworm and migrating my data over from the old disk file. At least I learned a lot about recovering from this weird circumstance. The incorrect EFI file/path must be an artifact of using netboot.xyz to install Deb Bookworm over a previously provisioned Ubuntu instance. Makes sense I guess. Still loving netboot.xyz as a super fast way to spin up an unsupported OS.
