• Deploying 100+ windows 10 devices per week. Need to automate.

  In case you're unable to use intune, a free approach might be https://theforeman.org/ That works well for provisioning baremetal windows (with discovery image or pxe boot) once you've set it up. It supports script access as well as a nice hierarchy for configurations. But it's really not as well documented as it should be. Source: about 1 year ago

• Configuration Management Tools for 20-30 servers

  I use the foreman with puppet and pxe/kickstart scripts to automate VM/baremetal provisioning etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Server management tool with GUI

  Might want to look into https://theforeman.org/ if it's not too complex for you. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stockpiling Linux ISOs?

  The iso images are typically locked at a certain verison. The update repositories sounds like what you are looking for to cache updates. Look into theforeman.org and specifically the plugin Katello. This is an upstream for Red Hat's Satellite product. Another option would be Canonical's MAAS. Both of these options Sound like what you are headed for unless you really just mean synchronize into a folder and store... Source: over 1 year ago

• Repo satellite 6 beta error 404 repomd.xml

  Alternatively, you can use Foreman+Katello, the upstream base of Satellite, to get started in learning the platform. You can also use the component matrix to use the versions that most closely resemble Satellite. Source: over 1 year ago

• Planetary.social

  This may not be the perfect space for this question, but it's probably close enough. Evan Henshaw-Plath apparently has a new project called planetary.social that uses a protocol called Scuttlebutt (which I've never heard of), which seems to be "open", but MIT licensed. I've always appreciated Evan's politics (he was a key contributor to Indymedia and Riseup.net, if I remember correctly), but I'm not quite sure... Source: almost 2 years ago

• New to scuttlebutt and wanting to host a server. Room or Pub?

  Rooms are new and only manyverse supports them so far. The new rooms 2.0 is based on go-ssb and there is also a go-ssb pub. With planetary we use go-ssb in the ios app but the older js pubs in the cloud. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2021)

  Planetary.social | Go / Swift Devs | Full-Time | Remote | $ Market | https://planetary.social Help us build out secure scuttlebutt as an open protocol for decentralized social media that puts users in control. Work on open source to solve important problems in the world. Planetary is working with twitter's bluesky to build a better future. We're looking dev's who want to work on our decentralized go lang... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Manyverse – A social network off the grid

  Manyverse is a great app, one of several compatible ones which use the secure scuttlebutt protocol. For ios another open source one is https://planetary.social/ which I wrote. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
