Bare-Metal Provisioning

Network-boot and manage your own servers. Like MAAS, sized for real life.

Overview

Bootstrap network-boots and provisions bare-metal machines over PXE and TFTP, then tracks them as they come online. It discovers devices on your network, adopts them, and watches their boot sessions live. Built for homelabs and small-to-mid on-prem fleets across one LAN or many, not hyperscale datacenters.
