Can we see your Dockerfile & docker-compose file for hub/docker.com/samdbmg/dhcp-netboot.xyz:latest ?

I was watching your youtube video and think it's awesome although I'm unsure how it's all set up under the hood. I'd like to see what you've done and learn from / tailor it for me. Or point me to a good guide. Thanks.

Hi. Long time that I have not managed with netboot, but it is always working. Hope this helps.

@zyssai has a nice practical example and some tips, https://github.com/samdbmg/dhcp-netboot.xyz/blob/main/docker-compose.yml should serve as a useful minimal example, but pay attention to the notes in https://github.com/samdbmg/dhcp-netboot.xyz#option-2-docker-compose or their Compose file above about setting up networking.

As for the Dockerfile, it's https://github.com/samdbmg/dhcp-netboot.xyz/blob/main/Dockerfile - GitHub Actions builds that and pushes it to Docker Hub at https://hub.docker.com/r/samdbmg/dhcp-netboot.xyz
