TFTP sending wrong IP address #14

Open derdeagle opened 2 years ago

derdeagle commented 2 years ago

I currently face the issue where the TFTP server seems to answer with the wrong IP address (from Docker). I am using the default docker-compose.yml file.

10.10.0.103 is my client, 10.10.3.6 is the next-server and 192.168.192.2 is the IP address of the Docker container running netboot.xyz. The following is the tcpdump output on the host machine (where Docker is **running).

11:53:56.340862 IP 10.10.0.103.1024 > 10.10.3.6.69:  46 RRQ "netboot.xyz.kpxe" octet blksize 1432 tsize 0

The following is the tcpdump output on docker container itself (please don't mind the time offset).

I tried running the Docker container with network_mode: host which leads to the fact that no Docker internal IP address is shown in the TCPdump output but it fails to start fully because of nginx (I have somehting running on port 80 on the hardware server so nginx cannot bind on it).

What do I need to configure in order to get this up and running?

ikkemaniac commented 2 years ago

I see this too, pretty logical as well as the docker container is only ware of its internal nic's if you're not in network_mode: host

That having said; no further/other configuration is need to get this up and running. As long as you fwd port 69/udp you can serve your LAN.

I've had similar experience when trying to run netbooxyz containerized without host networking. The issue here seems to be that TFTP protocol, while accepting requests on port 69, can (should?) use (by the RFC) other ports to actually send the data. This results in ReadReQuests to pass through to the container just ok, but NAT gets confused when container tries to open connections from other ports to the same host.

A fix for that is running TFTP server in a mode where only port 69 is used for both commands and data. While this isn't strictly RFC compliant it should work with most clients. PR adding such capability: https://github.com/netbootxyz/docker-netbootxyz/pull/55 With this in place you'd have to set env variable TFTPD_OPTS='--tftp-single-port' and it should work.

For what it's worth I've had a similar problem that turned out to be due to running docker in an environment with multiple MACs and IPs - solved by running on a host with a single IP

TFTPD_OPTS='--tftp-single-port'

this merge and option fixed the issue for me on macos, thank you!
