| 20:08 | <alkisg> vagrantc: `ltsp ipxe` needs {memtest.0,memtest.efi,undionly.kpxe,snponly.efi} from boot.ipxe.org; they're not provided by debian packages,
| |
| 20:08 | so, I thought it best to clone them periodically in github, make binary releases there, and have `ltsp ipxe` wget them to TFTP_DIR/ltsp
| |
| 20:08 | https://github.com/ltsp/binaries/releases
| |
| 20:08 | (ignore sshfs there, this is only for live cds that don't have sshfs, I'll probably remove it on production)
| |
| 20:09 | Is it acceptable to wget things when the sysadmin runs `ltsp ipxe`?
| |
| 20:11 | <vagrantc> acceptible, if not ... great
| |
| 20:11 | ideally would have another option, though...
| |
| 20:11 | can we rebuild or add to ipxe packaged versions?
| |
| 20:12 | <alkisg> I'll file bug reports in distributions to generate those from the ipxe sources into the ipxe deb files, but until then...
| |
| 20:12 | And it will certainly won't make it to live CDs < 2020
| |
| 20:12 | So we need some way to function until then
| |
| 20:12 | <vagrantc> the memtest we could manage without, obviously
| |
| 20:12 | the others are definitely necessary?
| |
| 20:13 | <alkisg> Yes; well, one could also use ipxe.efi or ipxe.lkrn, but they're a lot larger and somewhat different
| |
| 20:14 | E.g. they default to using the internal ipxe drivers instead of the ones provided by the nic stack
| |
| 20:14 | <vagrantc> those files even look familiar; does memtest86+ in debian ship them?
| |
| 20:14 | <alkisg> memtest.0 is for pxe; memtest86+ may fail under pxe
| |
| 20:14 | It's a special fork, made by the ipxe author
| |
| 20:15 | <vagrantc> i see
| |
| 20:15 | <alkisg> From the code: # Prefer memtest.0 from ipxe.org over the one from distributions:
| |
| 20:15 | # https://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2012-August/001731.html
| |
| 20:17 | The ltsp ipxe script and the ipxe configuration file: https://github.com/eellak/gsoc2019-ltsp/tree/master/ltsp/server/ipxe
| |
| 20:17 | I simplified ltsp.ipxe a lot, I think it's quite readable now
| |
| 20:18 | I intentionally only give the users a few static choices; they're supposed to either name their VMs that way, or manually edit ltsp.ipxe after it's created
| |
| 20:19 | Since we can put hostnames and kernel parameters there, it'll substitute most of the old lts.conf/pxelinux uses, so it shouldn't be regenerated frequently
