I figure I start a thread on getting a PXE Server running and serving OS images to host of miners.
I'm just starting the research for this so any help appreciated. As we figure this out we can post guide here as well.
I found this guide so far that uses clonezilla
Clonezilla PXE Boot Server. – Michael Gallant's corner of the world.
I have yet to try it out.
My goals for the project:
1. setup the PXE server on the network as a VM (for me running on ESXI)
2. Have it assign a different range of dhcp IP (different from home network) (dont want to use my home block up)
3. Create a miner image that has various mining tools already built on it with configurations.
4. Boot whatever host from PXE image and have all mining ready to go.
I'm thinking of the following images
1. ubuntu server with dockers and miner builds
2. Ubuntu server with dockers, nvidia drivers and nvidia docker
3. IS windows possible?
