| 06:51 | <alkisg> LTSP doesn't have an Ubuntu dependency. But it's only available for distributions that use initramfs-tools, or don't use an initramfs at all, currently. It can't be used in dracut-based distributions.
| |
| 06:52 | I spent some time testing dracut and reporting bugs upstream, but I didn't get any reply at all from its developers. So if they don't care, why would I care about supporting them... :)
| |
| 06:54 | But if warewulf supports CentOS, maybe they've worked around bugs and issues, it might be worth it to see how they handle netbooting

| 08:49 | <tru_tru> would LTSP work with alpine linux?
| |
| 08:50 | <alkisg> tru_tru: which initramfs generator is alpine linux using?
| |
| 08:51 | <tru_tru> alkisg: quinox tips for live install/ephemeral apt install works fine :P (one less hurdle) on my initial testing of lts2040-server chroot (yes I am not giving up!)
| |
| 08:52 | <quinox> hooray
| |
| 08:52 | at the core current LTSP is just Linux with a fancy way of booting it over the network
| |
| 08:52 | (the old LTSP was a bit more particular)
| |
| 08:52 | <alkisg> Yeh, if the initramfs'es were properly designed, ltsp wouldn't be needed at all
| |
| 08:52 | <tru_tru> alpine is doing their own tooling: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Initramfs_init
| |
| 08:53 | <alkisg> tru_tru: then someone would need to port the initramfs bits of ltsp there
| |
| 08:53 | <tru_tru> openrc instead of systemd, musl instead of glibc,...
| |
| 08:53 | <alkisg> For example, ltsp can boot raspberry pi os, which doesn't use an initramfs at all
| |
| 08:53 | <tru_tru> rpi is on the list for me too, I have rpi1 taking dust at home
