A one-stop automation toolkit to set up a central server for managing your home lab — whether on VMware Workstation, QEMU/KVM, or even a bare-metal physical setup.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This project is intended for testing, development, and experimentation purposes only.
The central infra server runs on AlmaLinux 10 by default.
You can also customize it to use any Red Hat-compatible distribution, such as:
- RHEL (via developer subscription with minor tweaks)
- Rocky Linux
- Oracle Linux
- CentOS Stream
All VM provisioning is centrally managed by the central infra server using automation scripts and configuration templates.
The toolkit supports automated provisioning for VMs across all three major Linux families, with ready-to-use configurations included for:
| Distro Family | Supported OSes | Provisioning Method | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Hat-based | AlmaLinux | Kickstart | ✅ Included by default |
| Rocky, Oracle Linux, RHEL, CentOS Stream | Kickstart | 🔧 Customizable | |
| Debian-based | Ubuntu LTS | Cloud-init (cloud-config) |
🔧 Customizable |
| SUSE-based | openSUSE Leap | AutoYaST | 🔧 Customizable |
🧪 This toolkit is designed for lab environments that require provisioning and managing heterogeneous Linux distributions for testing, experimentation, and development.
These are minimum recommended values. Feel free to increase based on your use case and workload.
