https://github.com/SystemFabricWorks/debian-warewulf3 The following build command works on stretch: $ gbp buildpackage I had intended to clean this up before publishing it. As far as the current state is concerned, I believe it does provision debian stretch -- to some degree. > > Is there a better alternative to warewulf?

That one is "managed" through manual configuration of dhcpd, etc. This begs the question : "Why don't I use my own packaging of warewulf?" The packaging wasn't completed and the requirements for this cluster change on a regular basis. The lack of interest in warewulf discouraged me from going further down that road.
