You’re correct, the installer does only work on a Suse machine. I don’t know what it would take to force it onto Centos, but I suspect it would be not trivial.

That said, I found installing Suse and Uyuni pain free following their guide – although it obviously is another technology to support if you don’t already do Suse.

I’d rather it wasn’t on Suse, but it is. It was forked for and is and integral to the Suse management plan, so one can’t begrudge them tailoring it to their distro.

On balance, and the only other slightly viable alternative being Katello/Foreman, Uyuni is looking the lesser of two evils for us. YMMV.

Uyuni would be a nice candidate, but in their docs it (obviously) states it can only be installed on SuSE Leap. I don’t have a single SuSE-machine running and I don’t intend to. Can I just add this repos to a CentOS or OracleLinux VM and do a ‘yum install uyuni’?
