Does anyone know the name of this iPXE server software, i remember it being written in some language like ruby or something (might be misremembering), and i was able to serve a distro using like 1-2 command line options?

#ipxe

@smyth But as some versatile #RescueSystem one can blindly let a machine boot into and do basics like SSH into, wipe and/or recover data and #chainload other OSes like an Install ISO from a different drive...

Kinda like the #Foreman #iPXE bootdisk, but better, since it can be used interactively and non-interactively...

@hkrn nothing new. It's called #iPXE and is #PXE with a Server on the Internet...

This is interesting and inspirational. I was playing around with iPXE and custom bootable ISOs to allow customers to load any NodeSpace-supported OS. https://blog.cloudflare.com/deploying-firmware-at-cloudflare-scale-how-we-update-thousands-of-servers-in-more-than-285-cities/ #ipxe #opensource #infrastructure #cloud #baremetal

I also maintain #LTSP in #Debian which uses #iPXE extensively, and I usually test both #EFI and #BIOS booting of thin clients... but I have not tested it for almost a year ago now, when I did the last ltsp upload.

Good reminder to test it, thanks!

Pretty useful if you have the weird job/hobby of installing multiple operating systems to “places” and you want an all-in-one bootloader to ease your pain.

Is iPXE incompatible with some cards in UEFI mode?
