About

This repository contains code that provides a working PXE server (via HTTP, TFTP, DHCP, and/or iPXE) implemented purely in Golang.

Currently, only Linux(CentOS[6/7/8], RHEL[6/7/8], Debian and Ubuntu) which is boot from pxe is supported. See the issues page for open issues, bugs, and enhancements/improvements.
