Seconded. It’s much more powerful than what I use it for, but it works a treat. We just have a VM for it running and every few months or so renew the image we use. Really this was the solution to waiting for windows updates lol. The USB part wasn’t so bad, but having to update through windows update from scratch every time took ages…
Comment on PXE Imaging server?

It does the full imaging process, not just pxe booting, but I’m sure you can use it just for that.

When I last tried to setup openwrt+iPXE I kept ending up on their forum but I don’t get what are they actually for ? Is that just a netbootable disk imaging thing ? Live OS netbooting ? Installer netbooting ?
Is it like iVentoy the non-open source netbootable version of ventoy ?

Its named FOG because it is a “free, open-source (Norton) Ghost.” It uses iPXE to netboot a minimal Linux environment that can clone or restore a hard disk image. It includes a web UI for managing machines and disk images, among other things. There is also a client you can install on machines to remotely administer them.
It is very similar to DRBL/Clonezilla but for a slightly different purpose.
