> or even over PXE, I guess This is super common actually! Most built-in PXE only supports TFTP, which is pretty slow compared to TCP-based stuff. It can make sense to use the built-in PXE to grab a (small) iPXE image over TFTP, then have iPXE grab the (big) real image over HTTP(S). This is also useful if you want to store your main image on something like S3 that doesn’t support TFTP. For a while I had a script that would create iPXE images dynamically on the fly with the correct HTTPS URL and auth information embedded in them. |
