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’?
