PXE Server

Configuration

• Drop .iso files in ./volumes/isos/
• Extract from those ISOs the kernel (usually vmlinuz or linux) and the initrd (usually initrd.gz or initrd.lz) and drop them at ./volumes/files/
  • Each .iso could have its own folder at ./volumes/files/ to organize the kernel and initrd files
• Edit ./volumes/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/distros to add the distro you want to configure. Each distro has a different way of being called, some online research might be necessary. You can look at the syslinux official documentation to check the options available.
• Configure a static ip in your network interface. For example: 10.0.0.1/24
• Edit docker-compose.yml, the command: options are passed to dnsmasq. Configure the network with the configuration you want. You can look at the dnsmasq official documentation for other arguments.
  • Remember to change enp6s0 with the name of your network interface
• Make sure port 53 and 80 are not being used
• Run docker-compose build && docker-compose pull to prepare the images
