This is a helper ansible-playbook to configure multi-arch/bios support for netboot.xyz on Unifi/UDM-OS devices such as the UDM Pro. Note: this playbook will need to be run on every UDM reboot, so throw it in a cron or setup jobs with Ansible Semaphore.

Prereqs

• SSH enabled on your unifi-os device
• ansible installed
• SSH Public Key authentication. If you do not have this enabled (shame), you can yolo it and place the UDM root password in your inventories file with the added parameter ansible_ssh_pass=<>

Steps

1. Clone this repository
2. edit the ./hosts.ini, replace with the ip address of your UDM device.
3. edit the playbook.yml file to include the IP address of your netboot.xyz file.
4. run: ansible-playbook -i ./hosts.ini ./playbook.yml
5. profit
