We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/). Simply pulling `linuxserver/netbootxyz` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags. The architectures supported by this image are: | Architecture | Tag | | :----: | --- | | x86-64 | amd64-latest | | arm64 | arm64v8-latest | | armhf | arm32v7-latest | ## Usage Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image. ### docker ``` docker create \ --name=netbootxyz \ -p 69:69/udp \ --restart unless-stopped \ linuxserver/netbootxyz ``` ### docker-compose Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas. ```yaml --- version: "2" services: netbootxyz: image: linuxserver/netbootxyz container_name: netbootxyz ports: - 69:69/udp restart: unless-stopped ``` ## Parameters Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `:` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container. ### Ports (`-p`) | Parameter | Function | | :----: | --- | | `69/udp` | TFTP Port. | ### Environment Variables (`-e`) | Env | Function | | :----: | --- | ### Volume Mappings (`-v`) | Volume | Function | | :----: | --- | ## Application Setup To use this image you need an existing DHCP server where you can set this TFTP server as your DHCP boot destination. This image does not contain a DHCP server nor do we aim to support one in the future. This is simply a TFTP server hosting the latest IPXE kernel builds from [netboot.xyz](https://netboot.xyz). If you are interested in their project and lack the ability to setup a DHCP server to boot this payload they also have USB stick images you can use available on their [downloads page](https://netboot.xyz/downloads/). ### Router Setup Examples #### PFSense Services -> DHCP Server Set both the option for "TFTP Server" and the options under the Advanced "Network Booting" section. * check enable * Next server- IP used for TFTP Server * Default BIOS file name- `netboot.xyz.kpxe` * UEFI 32 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi` * UEFI 64 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi` #### OPNsense Services -> DHCP Server Under the Advanced "Network Booting" section. * check enable * Next server- IP of docker host * Default BIOS file name- `netboot.xyz.kpxe` * UEFI 32 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi` * UEFI 64 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi` #### Unifi Security Gateway (with the controller) Networks -> LAN (or the network you want to boot from) -> ADVANCED DHCP OPTIONS * tick Enable network boot * Server- YOURSERVERIP * Filename- `netboot.xyz.kpxe` #### DD-WRT Administration -> Services -> Additional DNSMasq Options Set the following lines: ``` dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000 dhcp-boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP ``` #### Tomato Advanced -> DHCP/DNS -> Dnsmasq Custom configuration Set the following lines: ``` dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000 dhcp-boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP ``` #### OpenWRT ``` uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci commit /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart ``` Anything else from a router standpoint is a crapshoot for supporting Dnsmasq options or proprietary PXE boot options, check Google for support (try your exact router model number with 'pxe boot') or look into setting up your own DHCP server in Linux. This image also contains `netboot.xyz.efi` which can be used to boot using UEFI network boot. The UEFI boot and menu will have limited functionality if you choose to use it. ## Support Info * Shell access whilst the container is running: * `docker exec -it netbootxyz /bin/bash` * To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: * `docker logs -f netbootxyz` * Container version number * `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' netbootxyz` * Image version number * `docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/netbootxyz` ## Versions * **22.10.19:** - Initial release.
