What I'd really love is a net boot image and remote storage that can be mounted on the fly on any computer. All I'd need is my yubikey or whatever secure identifier to connect all the pieces.l and plenty of internet.

I'm partially there with VDI tools like Parsec, but being able to leverage local hardware would also be neat.



I replied to a reply to you in a subthread with this same info, but since you’re both sorta asking the same thing, I’ll post it here for you also.

Bootable USB that loads iPXE, with a custom boot config that downloads the kernel and initrd from your own cloud server?


This might do what you are thinking, and does use iPXE under the hood.
