Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/623

Describe the bug
The Ansible playbook generate_disks_base attempts to install EPEL on all Redhat OS family distributions, Fedora Linux and Fedora containers reports on Ansible that they are "Redhat" on ansible_os_family, Because Fedora does not include the EPEL repository and matches the contitions for task "Ensure EPEL is enabled", This playbook will fail.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a Fedora container, One quick way of doing so is [podman/docker] run --rm -it fedora
Clone the Netboot repo and install ansible, git, and httpd
Run the playbook using `ansible-playbook

Screenshot

TASK [netbootxyz : Ensure EPEL is enabled] *************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failures": ["epel-release No match for argument: epel-release"], "msg": "Failed to install some of the specified packages", "rc": 1, "results": []}

Expected behavior
EPEL would be skipped on Fedora Linux

Additional context
The variable ansible_distribution will show "Fedora" "CentOS" and would be more reliable

I'm currently looking at a workaround now
