Setting up a #PXE server with #Debian to boot a #Debian install from the network :debian:

Does anyone here have a public ipxe/netboot.xyz server?

I lost all my USB-sticks and I need to reinstall a machine

Oh, if you're looking for the documentation on how to set up netboot xyz (step by step) as well as how to create a Windows PXE boot disk, it's all documented here!

Back in my tech support days I thought that if I had PXE network boot at home, that I "made it". Well, that day has come! This past week I learned all about netboot xyz! I can now boot and install any operating system over the network!

Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4btW5x_clpg

Can we get all the hardware vendors together in a room and force them to agree that changing boot order preferences in a UEFI environment was absolutely a terrible decision?

I mean, it's not like we reimage servers after deployment or anything. And it's inconceivable that we would ever want to consistently PXE boot after installation and check if there's a configuration change set up for a system... /s

At least the Foreman devs put in a quick fix...

Ich übersetze zur Zeit gerne Reparaturanleitungen auf iFixit. Mich würde interessieren: Welche Geräte würdet ihr gerne viel öfter reparieren? Für was fehlen euch Anleitungen? #iFixit #Reparatur #repaircafe #RightToRepair

kkarhan,

@anarresti @Fairphone @frameworkcomputer Bzgl.#hp bin ich nicht gut zu sprechen weil die #FUD mitels 'softem' "#VendorLock" auf #RAM machen:

Wenn das RAM nicht hp-branded ist brickt es #PXE-Boot und automatische Starts und wirft bei JEDEM (!!!) [Re-]Boot ne Bullshit-Fehlermeldung die stets manuell per F1 auf der Gerätetastatur ümnestätigt werden muss.

Ich finde das ne absolute Gängelung und #AntiRepair-Maßnahme welche anders als z.B. Allowlistings für #WLAN & #WWAN keine valide Begründung hat!

kkarhan, to apple

There is NO VALID REASON to glue-in batteries and not make them user-serviceable!

Unless you're an #AntiRepair #asshole #corporation like #Apple!

kkarhan,

Since #Apple's devices are literally designed to be #fragile, I do think it's safe to assume if not demand that having parts from a donor machine should allow one to fix an issue...

Just like on any major brand laptop.

Even #hp and it's #ProBook #Laptops with their #FUD-based #VendorLock for #RAM that literally bricks #PXE and remote/headless/timer-based booting don't literally lock up unbootable if you were to take a differen ProBook's RAM sticks, WIFI, WWAN, SSD, Keyboard, Screen.
