  • Fog

    An open source computer cloning & management system

  • netboot.xyz

    Your favorite operating systems in one place. A network-based bootable operating system installer based on iPXE.

  • If you want multiple OS then netboot.xyz is probably the easiest starting point. You can check it out quickly directly on the web, but I'd suggest to use the Ansible scripts to setup a local instance ( see here ) and then hack the scripts, as their "custom" menu lacks some degree of flexibility. Then you can chain a WDS server in the future, should you want to automate the Windows installs. You can also check to setup cloud init and kickstart files for Linux.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
