Anaconda kickstart with superpower
summary
Prototype called Forester controller is a small Go service (needs Postgres + three tables) that serves image files and a CLI (image/system/clients) to drive Anaconda over EFI HTTP boot; images come from Composer or console.redhat, uploaded as ISOs that the service extracts (EMG/tar) and then Anaconda performs install. Workflow: register libvirt appliances, inventory via libvirt, run discovery (DMI/CPU/memory facts), then image acquire to push an image and reboot. Demo shows it working for libvirt but currently EFI-only, needs DHCP pointing to /boot/file, and plans Redfish/IPMI next.
