	One of the things that I (Cara) would like a lot is a PXE netboot image to use to quickly stand up new VMs, and reimage old ones as needed. ~~More~~ to ~~follow~~		One of the things that I (Cara) would like a lot is a PXE netboot image to use to quickly stand up new VMs, and reimage old ones as needed. The requirements for a Debian netboot image are:

			# Extracted [https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz netboot.tar.gz] in a TFTP server
			# Complete [https://ipxe.org iPXE] script, maybe allowing for selecting different tools like a live debugging OS for physical machines?
			# Configuration on the DHCP server to serve a chainload payload to legacy PXE clients, and the real iPXE script for iPXE clients
			# Ideally, a Debian preseed file to completely automate the installation of Debian once selected

			In theory it's possible to PXE boot a Windows installtion with SCCM and iPXE, but I (Cara) have no experience with SCCM so I'm not focusing on it for now.

The goal of this project is to standardize practices and standards. Currently, the infrastructure is a mixture of Linux distributions, configuration management methods, and unclear ability to centrally manage and track systems beyond the Proxmox tools.

== Debian ==

PS:1's Linux distribution of choice is Debian. Eventually, all PS:1 Linux infrastructure components should be converted to Debian Trixie. Currently, a mix of CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Rocky 9, and Debian is used. End-of-life systems should be prioritized higher than currently in support systems.

== IPAM/Infrastructure Management ==

This project should investigate tools like Nautobot to define and manage IT infrastructure.
