iPXE Prebuilt binary web interface

Why

A Prebuilt binary web interface. Many users would prefer to be able to download prebuilt binary versions of iPXE, rather than building it from source.

What

A web-based user interface that provide a way for the user to select any relevant iPXE build options, specify any embedded script, etc, and then construct and download the appropriate file.

How

The user interface, is using HTML, CSS as well as Javascript (jQuery) and a suitable server-side language (such as Perl and PHP). All GUI options (git version/nics list/compile options) are generated dynamicaly using PHP. The build.fcgi script is written in Perl and was wrote by Michael Brown.

Test

You can acces it via rom-o-matic.eu

Test using Docker

• Install Docker Install documentation of Docker

The Docker deb package are valid for Ubuntu and Debian.

$ wget http://get.docker.io/ -O - | sh

Or

echo deb https://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 36A1D7869245C8950F966E92D8576A8BA88D21E9
apt-get update && apt-get install -y lxc-docker

• Build the images

The following command build the build directly from the github repository.

The build process might take some time a while as it download the origin Ubuntu LTS 14.04 docker image.

$ docker build --rm=true --no-cache=true -t xbgmsharp/ipxe-buildweb github.com/xbgmsharp/ipxe-buildweb.git

Alternatively, you can build the image localy after cloning the repository.

$ docker build --rm=true --no-cache=true -t xbgmsharp/ipxe-buildweb .

• Run the container

Run as a detach container

$ docker run -d -p 22:22 -p 8080:80 -t xbgmsharp/ipxe-buildweb

Or run the container with an attach shell

$ docker run -i --rm -p 22:22 -p 8080:80 -t xbgmsharp/ipxe-buildweb /bin/bash

• Check the IP

$ docker ps -a
$ docker inspect CONTAINER_ID | grep IPA

Or both command in one

$ docker ps -a | grep ipxe-buildweb | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker inspect | grep IPAddress

Or all in one with the ssh connection

$ ssh $(docker ps -a | grep ipxe-buildweb | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker inspect | grep IPAddress | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '"' | tr -d ',' )

• Login in the container via SSH

User is root and password is admin.

$ ssh [email protected]

• Review logs

$ docker logs CONTAINER_ID

• Enjoy!
