https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Requirements# #XcpNg can boot #AlpineLinux (From #NetbootXyz ram) since it only requires 128Mto install , probably more would work using the 32 bits versions

https://netboot.xyz/# #NetBootXyz is a great tool, I use use to offload the storage of my ISO, and install from the internet, to use it in #XcpNG a couple of command line can help:

cd /opt/xensource/packages/iso/
wget https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.iso
xe sr-list | sed -n -s 's/uuid .*: \(.*\)/\1/gp' | xargs -i -n1 xe sr-scan uuid={}
xe cd-list
uuid ( RO) : 2e865d56-669c-4839-9d8a-8f2463cf7a20
name-label ( RW): netboot.xyz.iso

#SecoB68 is powered by #BIOS #AmericaMegatendsInc 1.13 it can boots in legacy or #UEFI , for #PXE only #efi seems supported at least i can see the query in my #DnsMasq logs ... But #grubs does not show up... I also tried with #pxelinux and #netbootxyz ...

https://xcp-ng.org/forum/user/rzr# #XcpNg : Just installed xcp-ng-8.3.0-20250606-netinstall.iso on an #x86 #SingleBoardComputer and booted #NetBootXyz , and boot lightweight #OS from the web ...

was schade ist:

Eine Fritzbox kann nicht (zumindest meines Kenntnisstands nach) einen TFTP Verweis auf einen PXE (Aus dem Netzwerk booten) Server erstellen.

Lösung:
Aktuelles PI Hole, DHCP drauf aktivieren und dann:
Settings -> All Settings -> Miscellaneous
bei "misc.dnsmasq_lines" folgendes eintragen:

# Standard PC BIOS
dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000
dhcp-boot=tag:bios,netboot.xyz.kpxe,,192.168.10.25
# 64-bit x86 EFI
dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007
dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,netboot.xyz.efi,,192.168.10.25
# 64-bit x86 EFI (obsolete)
dhcp-match=set:efi64-2,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009
dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-2,netboot.xyz.efi,,192.168.10.25
# 64-bit UEFI for arm64
dhcp-match=set:efi64-3,60,PXEClient:Arch:0000B
dhcp-boot=tag:efi64-3,netboot.xyz-arm64.efi,,192.168.10.25

192.168.10.25 wird durch die IP Eures PXE Servers ersetzt.

@phpmacher Andere verschrotten in so einer Situation den PC und kaufen neu (Behörden *räusper*).

Für alle anderen, die gerne rumprobieren, gäbe es da noch Netboot.xyz (https://netboot.xyz/). Einfach alle möglichen Linux Distros, nahezu blitzschnell, aus dem Netzwerk booten (PXE). Mit Anleitung sogar Windows. Benutze ich recht häufig auch für RAM Analysen oder Secure Erase Zeug. Da gibts eigentlich alles, was man sich so vorstellen kann: DBan, Arch Linux, CentOS, clonezilla, FreeBSD, GParted, Kali, Proxmox, Rescuezilla, ShredOS, ... uvm.

https://netboot.xyz/ is really cool, just used it to install Debian for a relative. :neofox_uwu:

Tried my hand at repurposing this AG 2500 tonight, but didn't get very far.

The BIOS is password-protected, so I can't change the boot device. Disconnecting the CR2032 for a while didn't clear it, nor did bridging what appeared to be the CMOS Clear jumper. Best I can seem to do so far is unplug its tiny internal SATA SSD and get some things going via #netbootxyz; not sure I can plug it back in after booting to get it to recognize the drive again and install over it.

Would be really nice if I could manage to make a home server out of this thing, but so far it's just giving me a headache.

I don't know how I haven't used this before, it's going to save me a lot of time in my distrohopping!! :AngeryCat:

#netbootxyz

Thanks for the magnets and stickers netbootxyz! More importantly, thank you for creating and maintaining the open source netboot project!

#netbootxyz #opensource

Using #netbootxyz via #Docker in the #homelab currently.
Really easy to set up and use 😎

L' #EmmaKey reste une clé construite sur base du logiciel #Ventoy 😀
Sur la partition Ventoy vous y placerez donc les images ISO de votre choix 😉
Par exemple ici, #NetbootXYZ 😜

Est-ce que je vais vous faire découvrir quelque chose ❓🤔
Je pense surtout à #iVentoy 😉

Viens voir 👋
#NetbootXYZ et iVentoy 😲
Explications et démonstrations 🤙

Pour les liens utiles, c'est dans la description de la vidéo (sur #PeerTube) 😁

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!
