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 | ## Version Tags This image provides various versions that are available via tags. `latest` tag usually provides the latest stable version. Others are considered under development and caution must be exercised when using them. | Tag | Description | | :---: | :--- | | latest | Web application for full self hosting | | tftp | TFTP server only with NETBOOT.XYZ boot files | ## Usage Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image. ### docker ```text docker create \ --name=netbootxyz \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ -e MENU_VERSION=1.9.9 `#optional` \ -p 3000:3000 \ -p 69:69/udp \ -p 8080:80 `#optional` \ -v /path/to/config:/config \ -v /path/to/assets:/assets `#optional` \ --restart unless-stopped \ linuxserver/netbootxyz ``` ### docker-compose Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas. ```yaml --- version: "2.1" services: netbootxyz: image: linuxserver/netbootxyz container_name: netbootxyz environment: - PUID=1000 - PGID=1000 - MENU_VERSION=1.9.9 #optional volumes: - /path/to/config:/config volumes: - /path/to/assets:/assets #optional ports: - 3000:3000 - 69:69/udp ports: - 8080:80 #optional 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 | | :---: | :--- | | `3000` | Web configuration interface. | | `69/udp` | TFTP Port. | | `80` | NGINX server for hosting assets. | ### Environment Variables \(`-e`\) | Env | Function | | :---: | :--- | | `PUID=1000` | for UserID - see below for explanation | | `PGID=1000` | for GroupID - see below for explanation | | `MENU_VERSION=1.9.9` | Specify a specific version of boot files you want to use from NETBOOT.XYZ \(unset pulls latest\) | ### Volume Mappings \(`-v`\) | Volume | Function | | :---: | :--- | | `/config` | Storage for boot menu files and web application config | | `/assets` | Storage for NETBOOT.XYZ bootable assets \(live CDs and other files\) | ## Environment variables from files \(Docker secrets\) You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend `FILE__`. As an example: ```text -e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword ``` Will set the environment variable `PASSWORD` based on the contents of the `/run/secrets/mysecretpassword` file. ## Umask for running applications For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional `-e UMASK=022` setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) before asking for support. ## User / Group Identifiers When using volumes \(`-v` flags\), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user `PUID` and group `PGID`. Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic. In this instance `PUID=1000` and `PGID=1000`, to find yours use `id user` as below: ```text $ id username uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup) ``` ## 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: ```text dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000 dhcp-boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00002 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00008 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64-2,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-2,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP ``` #### Tomato Advanced -> DHCP/DNS -> Dnsmasq Custom configuration Set the following lines: ```text dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000 dhcp-boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00002 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi32-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 dhcp-boot=tag:efi32-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00008 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP dhcp-match=set:efi64-2,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-2,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP ``` #### OpenWRT ```text 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:00002 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi32,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi32-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi32-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi64-1,60,PXEClient:Arch:00008 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi64-1,netboot.xyz.efi,,YOURSERVERIP uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_match=set:efi64-2,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009 uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dhcp_boot=tag:efi64-2,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. ## Docker Mods [![Docker Mods](https://img.shields.io/badge/dynamic/yaml?color=94398d&labelColor=555555&logoColor=ffffff&style=for-the-badge&label=mods&query=%24.mods%5B%27netbootxyz%27%5D.mod_count&url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Flinuxserver%2Fdocker-mods%2Fmaster%2Fmod-list.yml)](https://mods.linuxserver.io/?mod=netbootxyz) We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-mods) to enable additional functionality within the containers.
