Lmao

Been slowly migrating my infrastructure to openbsd.

I haven't found a good way to handle base system updates on many physical servers.

I was thinking, pxe boot a random live image, have to pull a gold image and dd it to the drive, then ansible all the things.

M:Tier has some binary updates, if that's what you mean.

wow, that simplifies things.

Thanks user.

Anyone working with sysinstall/pc-sysintall?
I want to know how is programmed/scripted.

Any detail is welcome.

You mean bsdinstall? Sysinstall hasn't been in use since around FreeBSD 8, I believe.

What can you tell me about?

Seems like it was programmed in C, which is weird because I don't think C programs are supposed to sit in /usr/sbin.

Though interestingly, bsdinstall only seems to be nothing but shell scripts, probably a wiser choice as that makes it easier for non-programmers to customize.
