Container Image for PXE/HTTPBoot Server
an invention by gary_lin
Updated almost 4 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.

Every time we went to UEFI Plugfest, one of the frequently asked questions is how to setup a PXE/HTTPBoot server. Besides, we also have to setup and test the server before the event. Although we already have the document(*), it may be easier to deploy with a container image.

My goal is to learn how to package a container image in SLE/openSUSE and create a flexible image for the fast deployment of PXE/HTTPBoot server.

The result of Hackweek 17 is mightyboot.

However, it's based on Docker and a bit outdated. The goal for Hackweek 20 is to port it to Podman and explore the possibility to get rid of the dependency of hostnet.
