It would be nice to be able to transform a YunoHost server into a server for Linux install over PXE network boot of client machines.
The PXE install server could be setup using [FAI Guide (Fully Automatic Installation)](https://fai-project.org/fai-guide/#_install_the_fai_packages)
I don’t know the compatibility with the YunoHost networking stack though.
It could also be useful for other use-cases such as [Yunohost sbc cluster - #2 by gauthier67](https://forum.yunohost.org/t/yunohost-sbc-cluster/35205/2)

And, a movie about Clonezilla to install many machines :
(in French) [100 pc installés en deux jours avec clonezilla - PirePeerTube](https://pire.artisanlogiciel.net/w/asvqGieCV6crq818FzDyQi)
Anyway, it’s a great idea

This can be done with dnsmasq i guess.

I created a yunohost feature request for this use case [YunoHost as a TFTP and PXE server · Issue #2695 · YunoHost/issues · GitHub](https://github.com/YunoHost/issues/issues/2695)
