Coinboot – a framework for diskless computing

In plain words

Coinboot is a framework for diskless computing that enables devices to boot and operate without requiring local storage. Developed for developers and system administrators, it allows machines to run entirely from network-based resources. The project provides infrastructure for creating and managing diskless environments, making it suitable for scenarios requiring centralized control, easy maintenance, or resource-constrained devices.
