Hello everyone! I hope this video helps you set up your own network booting server in linux. I don't make tutorials so I was really nervous and made a lot of mistakes when speaking, sorry about that.
Something that I want to remark is that the network interface your DHCP server is listening to should really have a statically assigned IP address, otherwise your DHCP server might fail to start.
In the pxelinux.cfg/default the "MENU LABEL" is the name of the entry in the menu you need to select.Here is the link for more information on how to setup the boot menu :D

I liked the video. I've made PXEboot servers before, mostly none UEFI or rather legacy modes. Your video was quite helpful in many ways. The one thing about PXE boot is that most videos show a method, but often this method isn't very global. A lot of funk starts to show up when you try to build a PXE server that can do a host of different OSs and each one can often have its own gotcha's. Good video, thanks for making it!

Thank you for the video, I could not get the PXE menu to load for EFI systems. Now it does. However, I am trying to use a RHEL 7.9 image, vmlinuz will load, but initrd.img will just hang, and the the server will just power off. I cant figure out a way around this, any tips? EDIT: So after more trouble shooting, I found the initrd.img upload via tftp will slowly degrade the speed to nothing. Eventually this will load, but after 10 min.... What version of syslinux are you running? EDIT: I figured it out. Trick is don't use TFTP to transfer any files, use http. You can adjust your pxelinux.cfg/default to push the bootloader and initrd.img via a web address.

Good Video. I just did similar with Ubuntu. Only to find that my dell r610 servers raid card driver wasn't in the installed OS, but was in the netboot image, took a long time to figure that one out. Inserted a usb stick and targeted that for the OS install as a workaround, till I can generate a new initrd.gz file.

@alsetema

Yes, it is, but it may not be an easy task. Im not sure what it would take exactly but it would be something along the lines of: using a live cd of ubuntu, using http/nfs ensuring that the squashfs is found and boots properly, and modifying (or completely changing) the squashfs file for it to have all the mining tools you need and auto-execute whichever programs it needs to run on boot.

@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse Жыл бұрын
the two "host" entries that they added afterwards are merely there to pre-assign those IP's to those hosts. Instead of setting the static IP on the client, the DHCP server is always giving that client the same IP and not giving it to any other client. Those two sections configure the DHCP server to reserve that IP for that client.
