Network booting!

Hi all

 I have a few machines with servers.

On my almighty M92p machine (proxmox), installed this a container with this:

I  changed a  few settings in the router (opnsense) & It works. I have played around with it.

Some Operating systems have issues - windows is one. No surprises. Deban is an issue too.

I tried an old laptop and booted from the network & could get the ubuntu live installer to run.

My internet is 100 Mbit so it took a while.

 

In the video it explained an option to download locally,  & change a setting. It fails if there is on OS, which has not been specifically downloaded.

 What I want instead is to  setup a container with an http cache specifically for the  netboot container to use. He did mention that in the video also.

 I think the router can do that (opnsense), but it will involve .ISO files maybe 5GB in size.

 

How is this done?

 

I already use ventoy on a USB, but want to use the network instead.

Thanks
