pxe

The Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is an environment to bootstrap computers using a network card (i.e Ethernet, Token-Ring) independently of available data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating systems.

docker-compose.yml

pxe:
  image: vimagick/dnsmasq
  volumes:
    - ./dnsmasq.conf:/etc/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf
    - ./tftpboot:/tftpboot
  net: host
  restart: always
