-Multi-boot/distro btrfs provisioning
+PXE install w multi-boot, btrfs & Libreboot support
Some things are specific to my home network, and uses files with secrets
that are not in this repo. Uses pxe or pxe-kexec (on libreboot, I have
like a pxe rom). I use this for bare metal and vms, and two scripts
which can run post boot so I use them on vps distributed image as well.
-Features people may find useful: installs encrypted trisquel belanos, ,
-debian jessie, debian stretch, ubuntu 16.04, and arch (havne't done
-recently, probably a bit broken), in a multi-boot setup using multiple
-subvolumes of a single btrfs filesystem. Utilizes multiple disks, with
-scripts to automatically decrypt on intentional reboots, but not after
-shutdown or power loss.

The partititioning and filesystem script is at
-fai/config/hooks/partition.DEFAULT. Other debian based distros at least
-as new as ubuntu 14.04 should work fine, and I'm planning to add Fedora
-support. Disks are grouped as ssd or hdd and raided in raid 1 or raid 0
-per configuration. The base partitions are divided into boot, swap, and
-root, (only boot is unencrypted). There are scripts to resize those
-partitions post-provision and while the system is running.

People who use fai may find these things as useful examples: it uses
dnsmasq (on a openwrt machine) for dhcp instead of the isc
dhcp. fai-wrapper is a small script to use basic fai classes outside of
fai. It does not use the fai partitioning tool, but the script is
-inspired from it and works outside of fai.
+inspired from it and works outside of fai. It supports running a fai
+server on debian within android via Maru.
It also automates configuration of an openwrt router after manual
initial installation.
faiserver-revm # using pxe & preseed, create a vm which is a fai server
faiserver-uninstall # uninstall fai-server
faiserver-setup # install fai-server on the current machine
-myfai-chboot # setup fai server for kexec, for use instead of "pxe-server"
-pxe-server # disable/enable fai or arch pxe boot server
+myfai-chboot # setup fai tftp and nfs. useful for doing pxe-kexec
+pxe-server # disable/enable pxe dhcp, tfp, and nfs. calls myfai-chboot

License stuff:
-The license for the project is GPLv2 or later, mostly because fai is
-and I periodically rebase off their example setup for debian. Also,
-there is a modified encrypt.upstream, which is from the cryptsetup
-package in arch, which is under the same license.
