Is OpenBSD supported?
No BSDs because I am not familiar with them.
@bin456789
The biggest problem is that it needs to be able to customize the ssh port, which is very important
Already supported
Really cool stuff, good job!
Looks cool. How do you go about booting a live OS without overwriting anything?
Alpine Linux provides a netboot image that can be booted using GRUB.
What if the user is running Windows as his current OS but wants to boot netboot.xyz or the live OS, is it possible? Wouldn't you need to overwrite Windows bootloader?
Hold on guys, I'll grab some popcorns for this
No problem. To be precise, it's not about overwriting the Windows bootloader, but rather appending the alpine/netboot.xyz boot entry. Therefore, you may find that after returning from alpine/netboot.xyz to Windows, the alpine/netboot.xyz boot entry might still exist, although it's hidden and won't automatically start.
@bin456789 great job, I love it
Could I use your script for my web ?
I'm not sure what you mean. If you're talking about sharing or reposting, it's welcome.
I develop my own billing and vps manage project.
Want to know if I can add or integrated your script, so user can install Windows 10 or Windows 11 on it
@reyokh Your project looks great, and I'm glad the script will be integrated into it.
Will it let me install windows on a KVM VPS that is restricted to only Linux by a provider ?
Personally I will not install any OS on a vps that is not allowed by the provider.
Once found out, that is good enough reason to terminate the vps and do not expect any refund.
Wonder why. It can’t be the spec constraints so some MS licensing terms or something like that ?
simple good enough reason
terms and conditions of the provider that one agrees to at the time of purchase
lol. I’m interested in the technical aspect of it.
Not that I’m going to try it and get terminated, but is there a reason other than “because ToS said so” ?

yes, licensing compliance
Technically, it is possible to install Windows on a Linux-only KVM VPS.
You don't want to make a man who's this happy sad by not correctly licensing Windows.
kvm … that means yes
I will have the opportunity to try it later.
So cool, how many years learn and work in IT in able to write this script?
varies for every person … could be as little as six months
Nice script
Well I was able to install Windows 110 Pro from Debian on my VPS using b this script. Very impressive!
