The reason I use ventoy at home is only about half my machines support netboot. On the other hand I set up a pxelinux server at work years ago after I got tired of constantly burning CD's or rewriting USB drives. Went from proof of concept to a pretty slick setup that ended up saving time and money. Definitely one of those things I'm happy I got to implement.
@@TechnoTim I agree that's pretty neat but it doesn't really save me anything over using ventoy, always good to have options like this for use at home or really anywhere though.
@@nadtz For sure! I hear you! Use what works best for you, not trying to convince you otherwise! 😄 I love Ventoy, don't get my wrong (have a video on it) but now I never need to worry about missing or old ISOs on my USB disk, it's always up to date using netboot xyz since it's fetched over the internet.
I gotta try this ...I mostly use Ventoy myself but I like distro hopping and with this having utilities on board it should make things simple and offer super quick access to the things I use. 🎉
Used it at my old job to manage all of the different versions of the custom ISOs that were delivered by the OS team. It worked great! They still use it today as it allows them to quickly debug new versions while keeping the current production version untouched.
This is so cool and easy to do. Thanks for the great tutorial! I just set up the server VM on my Promox host, configured pfSense and it works perfectly. One very minor thing I had happen though was 4GB of ram for my "netbooter" VM resulted in the error "Unable to find a live filesystem on the network" when trying to boot. I increased the ram to 8GB and it works as expected.
I wonder why it requires more than 4Gb allocated to the VM. That seems like an awful lot of RAM. What OS were you using? The only one I can think of that would require so much is MS Windows 10/Server 2019/2022.
I have tried many times to get standard PXE boot to work on my homelab and usually fail at the point it remounts root as rw. I've only gotten it usable twice, and both times took me absolutely *inordinate* amounts of time (even as far as Linux projects go, aka time sinks). And that's from having over 20 years experience in Linux. These days it's even harder with net + UEFI. So glad the netboot crew gave us this gem!
I just want to give you my thanks for making me aware of this, I’ve always used PXE boot in a work environment but hadn’t considered it for home, I am really happy to have this now setup with help of this video!
I watched this because I love adding cool new features to my homelab. After watching you, it turns out I know NOTHING about computers... haha a lot of things out there to learn about! Good video Tim, thank you very much!
I just discovered your video accidentally and man... I can't express in anyway how could your ever helped me more!!! Since Windows 11 did not support WDS anymore, in my work we were kind of having issues to deploy Windows 11 images and now you just presented me a simple and elegant docker container solution that will actually save my life at work... Thanks a LOT!!! Awesome video!
I just used this to rapid fix a vm on proxmox that was running through truenas and wouldn't boot from normal methods because of some persimmons issue that I didn't have time to fix. I was up and running within 10 minutes. Thanks Tim, this was a night saver!
I would put a proxy server in front of your local instance of NetBoot instead of a network cache behind it. The proxy could try your local cache for images and fail back to the hosted one. This would allow you to install any supported OS and gain a speed benefit for those your copied to your local instance. An added benefit is checking the access log of your proxy server to see exactly what images you should cache locally.
Succinct video as always. Easy to follow. This was the video that finally got me exploring PXE booting of VM images on my Proxmox host. Well done and greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video, netboot is exactly what I was looking for as a replacement for my crusty pxelinux setup. One comment on the studio setup: Dynamic content in the background is very distracting. You want the viewers to pay attention to you, not staring at the videos in the background. I've been guilty of making the same mistake (these were color-changing lights in my case), until a friend working on professional productions pointed it out to me.
Thank you soooo much for covering this. I did learn how to operate this but it took way too long to understand and use it (took 3 months to figure out). Now I have this bookmarked for future reference
Thank you for the video as always. I've been always wanting to do some sort of PXE boot option within my network but WDS is such a bare. Its always a pleasure noticing that you're into the same sort of ideas as me. Thank you again for your channel. I feel now not alone.
I was very skeptical about netboot at first, but as you mentioned there's a self-hosted option which doesn't require internet to work I got hooked immediately. Great video, will definitely try it out soon! Also, thanks a lot for including the subtitles❤
@@TechnoTim I'm not saying all of UA-cam is this way, but you put way more effort than probably 85% of the videos I watch on a daily basis. Very important for me as someone who is moderately hearing impaired. Big thanks from me, too. 👍
Awesome demo and explanation Tim. You just got a new subscriber. Cheers. I now have a project for the upcoming Christmas break. Looking forward to watching the video on the Windows install. Cheers.
Weird thing when I was getting this setup and tested. The VM that I setup on ProxMox using 4GB of RAM just like you wouldn't install Pop_OS. Did some digging and found the solution was that the Live CD was too big to use 4GB of RAM. Upped to 8 and it worked after that. Not sure if you cut that step out of your tutorial here or the Pop_OS Live CD got bigger since then, but thought I would put that out there for anyone else having issues with it.
Glad I‘m reading this comment! I was not successful with Pop OS or Ubuntu Live CD due to error "curl: (23) failure writing output to destination". Now I have an indication how to fix it. I hope it will work.
Dude, thank you for this. I have wanted to setup pixie boot for my homelab for a while now but put it off because I thought it would be a pain in the a$$. Now if only there was a hybrid mode, download from internet if not cached instead of choosing…
Right...kind of like a "steamcache" server...have it download the image of your choosing once...and proxy it locally automatically One download, hundreds of "netboot uploads" but have it all cached and retained automatically w/o needing to select and download pre-config style
I love Ventoy. I have a stick set up with many OS's, as well as a bunch of drivers, common programs, and troubleshooting tools. Has come in handy many times now. Also keep all my OS ISOs backed up on my ProxMox server in case the stick fails.
I just bought an iodd St400 for this purpose. One USB drive with a GUI that allows you to install hundreds of distros onto it. It is not easy to use, but there are free solutions that you can do this with a thumb drive as well. That option is open source, and then you determine what OS you want installed via a text file.
Great stuff as always! I really appreciate that you have both the video and blog post linked on your videos, and this one was particularly timely for a project I'm doing
Ghost - that takes me back. I remember using the product before Symantec acquired it. It was awesome for setting up a fresh copy of the machines in our training labs for each weeks classes.
@@andrewr7820 was awesome wasn’t it I moved to Acronis. I used to be responsible for sorting a lot of the builds out for major travel agents and government departments in the UK so the ability to build loads of machines as quickly as possible was a must. KVMs. Space and power was our only real limitations
I started out thinking this isn't an improvement over Ventoy but custom installs and self hosting kinda do make the argument. It's not for me but it's certainly interesting.
Excellent. No wasted time, loads of information. An old time hacker salutes you. Will check the blog. I found the sideways cutting a distraction but that seems to be a thing now.
Can get the netbootxyz dashboard interface accessible from devices on my network, however under services, as seen at 6:09 , only the WebServer is populated, TFTP service isn't populated and is showing blank. I believe this is leading to the error I'm having when trying to pxe boot a machine where it is told the IP address of the netbootxyz server and the .efi file to look for, however it see's it at 0 Bytes in size and ends up timing out when it can't pull anything from the netboot host. Anyone experienced anything similar or have any insights? I suspect the issue lies with TFTP not being forwarded or allowed through either with the docker container (running on Win11) or my Unifi gateway.
Tip: the command "tree" shows the file structure recursively. Perfect for showing in tutorials

Nice tut, but any iso does not work in my case. I even tried in proxmox VM. "Cannot mount /dev/loop0" or other error "netboot mounting tmpfs on /cdrom failed invalid argument" - have you meet this issue in our testing phase?
It's been an issue for almost 2 years now looking at the Github support section. Author seems to not care about correcting it and pass the issue off on others or doesn't respond. It would be a great solution if it actually worked properly. I've tried almost all of the LiveCD installs and they boot just fine, but they all fail the same way when you try to run the install.
Hey there! I had an issue switching over to local assets trying to boot the live image. I would get a squashfs error saying it cant mount and gets stuck on BusyBox for PopOS for example.
I don’t know how technology read my mind today. I was thinking of this but not searched a single thing. And here we are, a video full related to my thoughts.
Thanks for this! I wish someone would make a video on how to do Windows as well... I know it's on your blog post but some of us need a comprehensive walkthrough.

Can you demo the version of this that is self hosted? I am not going to set up a network boot that boots from the internet....or any server not in my control
@@TechnoTim You don't know the half of it mate, up until 6 months ago i was a builder, then i pulled an old server out of a skip and built a jellyfin server. I got hungry for more knowledge and quickly out grown the z600 i found and now ive created a monster :) I now have 3 Dell Servers r730 r620 r230 and host just about anything that tweaks my interest, the majority with the help of your videos.
I read the instructions on how to set it up for Windows and I think that it would be worthwhile to go through each of those steps in detail because I KNOW that people will use this as a “live” tutorial. (i.e. where do you install the Windows ADK to??? I read that in your instructions, but I am unclear as to where I am installing that to.) Clarifying each step in terms of what we are doing and why or what it will be used for would be super helpful. Thank you.
Think of all the possibilities! At work we use a lot of 14 blade / 28 node chassis for k8s enviroments (rke / rke2 and rancher). We've made a playbook that utilizes an unattended install of centos (now migrating that to rocky). A couple scripts to address all the nodes to the DHCP (pxe) segment of the network, then we use ipmitools to set pxe at next boot and reboot the nodes, then the unattended install, then post install clean up and final addressing. Love me some good pxe tools, and this is pretty neat! Idk about for prod use (only since we're established in our ways) but I'll prob use this for home use. Thanks!
Wow !!!!! This is Tera Super Mega Awesome !! I will definitely start playing with this and implementing it in my home lab. Thank you Tim for another video with great and very useful content as always. Best regards !
Great content. Helped me a lot, but something that I don't see anyone reviewing is how to create custom menus. I say this because, I want to test some repos that aren't listed to download and I don't know how to properly add them to local assets and boot it. An example of this, but not the only one would be Bazzite.
I use a device named the "iodd". Basically it's a usb device with a keyboard and screen. Once plugged into a computer, it spoofs itself as a DVD drive containing the ISO you selected.
Quite curious if you could use this to actually have an actual OS install running over network. So not just live, just compare it to a VM. I often think "I want to try on my main pc.. but now I have to fully reinstall it.. test it.. and if I don't like it.. reinstall again etc etc" Would be nice to just have this boot up.. have an environment where I can just test things.. play with it for a few days and see if I like it or not.
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I had some issues that weren't discovered until after I recorded. I know now what not to do for next time. It's a delicate balance between the background noise in my studio revamped and closing the gate.

I use a device named the "iodd".
Basically it's a usb device with a keyboard and screen.
Once plugged into a computer, it spoofs itself as a DVD drive containing the ISO you selected.
I followed the vague installation steps but under "services" TFTP: is empty, anything missing?!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing this.
This would have been super helpful yesterday
This was an awesome video, TY!
Thank you!
Quite curious if you could use this to actually have an actual OS install running over network. So not just live, just compare it to a VM. I often think "I want to try on my main pc.. but now I have to fully reinstall it.. test it.. and if I don't like it.. reinstall again etc etc"
Would be nice to just have this boot up.. have an environment where I can just test things.. play with it for a few days and see if I like it or not.
Not sure if it's just me, but your audio seems a bit off. Either the compressor or the noise gate seems too harsh.
Not just you. Definitely seems like a real tight gate
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I had some issues that weren't discovered until after I recorded. I know now what not to do for next time. It's a delicate balance between the background noise in my studio revamped and closing the gate.
@@TechnoTim great video otherwise! I've been toying around at a network boot setup for home use. I think I might go for it now.
Syslinux just being there: -_-
