Moin, as I mentioned: check ``fai softupdate``, this feature of FAI makes it a configuration manager.
Your running system gets updated to the state you define in your FAI config without a downtime. No reinstall required. p.s.: call me biased, as I implemented ``softupdate`` almost 20 years ago and use it since then as a configuration manager for a few 1k hosts in various contexts On Fri, Oct 06, 2023 at 04:24:48PM +0000, Diego Zuccato wrote: > Yes.
