These docker files will build a docker image where the iPXE boot firmwares will be compiled and downloads latest wimboot binaries.
iPXE is a pxe boot firmware. More about iPXE at http://ipxe.org.
First, it downloads the latest iPXE source code into the volume /compile, then copies custom iPXE configuration to ./{{ ipxe src }}/src/config/local/ and compiles the source code with make everything. The binaries can be found in volume ./compile/ipxe/src/bin.
An example custom iPXE configuration is provided in the ipxe.local.example folder.
At last it will download latest wimboot binaries to /compile/wimboot and extracts it.
An example docker-compose.example.yml is also provided.
This docker environment requires two volumes.
| Volume | Purpose |
|---|---|
| /compile | Location for build.log, latest wimboot and iPXE source code |
| /opt/ipxe.local | Custom iPXE configuration. All files will be copied to ./{{ ipxe src }}/src/config/local/ |
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ENV_BUILD | make -j4 everything | Build command. More Information about build targets here |
| ENV_EMBEDD | EMPTY | Path to script within container which should be embedded |
| ENV_DEBUG | EMPTY | List of iPXE DEBUG objects that should be included at build time. See here for more information |
Create a copy from docker-compose.example.yml to docker-compose.yml and edit the file to reflect your requirements, e.g. volume locations.
Create a folder with your custom iPXE configuration, e.g. with name ipxe.local.
Build docker image and iPXE binaries
docker-compose up -d --build
Only (re)build iPXE binaries if the docker image is already present
docker-compose up -d
