Could you build this?
Partial Building the Bun/TypeScript web server and cloud-init template engine is straightforward, but handling multi-OS network booting (DHCP options, TFTP/iPXE chaining, kernel netboot artifacts, anti-boot-loop state machines) requires specialized low-level networking knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack pairs a Bun/TypeScript HTTP/TFTP service with dynamic iPXE script generators and template engines for Cloud-Init / Kickstart / Preseed. The hard part is managing hardware architecture differences (BIOS vs UEFI x86/ARM), multi-vendor NIC firmware quirks, and reliable network boot state transitions without causing boot loops. Success requires deep sysadmin and infrastructure engineering expertise in PXE/TFTP protocols and OS installation routines.
