Automated Qubes OS Installation using Kickstart and/or PXE Network Boot

@alzer89 This work you’re doing here is very awesome and very useful!

I can’t wait to use your Qubes-specific guide for the steps on how to implement this in Qubes.

Here is what I’d love to do with this:

I’d love to have a custom configured Live/tmpfs/RAM-based Qubes OS sitting on a network share (NFS, etc), where I can then network boot from this OS image from several different computers that then do not need any storage drive in them.

The intention is to create Disposable Qubes OS physical machines that have no storage drives in them.

This way, the Qubes OS config can be centrally updated and deployed, and also any data files can be stored & accessed over the network too.

The endpoint user computers would then store nothing on them and need no storage drives within them, similar to Disposable Qubes, but for the entire physical machines.

This would be a great centralized infrastructure setup for family homes, company offices, or advanced personal security isolation setups.

Can’t wait to start seeing your Qubes-specific guide come to life now soon.

Thank you!
