This is very cool. We can almost get OpenStack Glance to consume the generated images directly:
openstack image create puck-faime glance location-add \ --url https://images.fai-project.org/files/$your_file puck-faime But it currently downloads the compressed file and stores the compressed file, it doesn't even try to decompress it. There is the potential to use a Glance Task to decompress the image, but that requires someone with the admin role (a cloud operator) to set it up: https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/admin/tasks.html Currently the only option is to get it locally, decompress it, then upload the image.
