I’ve used CoreOS tools in the past to achieve the same goals. It’s really useful once it works! I hope CoreOS lives on after the Red Hat and IBM acquisitions.

- evol262 8y agoYou can do this with pretty much any tool you want. I also did it about 10 years ago with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot (and running from the generated initramfs) Primary obstacles in 2018 are primarily the lackluster support for ro root filesystems. CoreOS/Alpine are fine. Writable memory filesystems are fine. CoreOS is not even a little bit dead inside Red Hat after the acquisition. If you're not paying attention to the news from Fedora, CoreOS is alive and well, which says a lot about how it will go downstream. The IBM acquisition is not final yet.
- haolez 8y agoYep. I’ve used FAI in the past as well (I think that was the name). I just really like the CoreOS ecosystem and I hope that it keeps following the direction that they set in the beginning.
