http://rom-o-matic.eu not working

ferfebles commented 4 years ago

Hi, I've been using your project the last four years because it's much more convenient than building ipxe by hand.

But when I try to connect to http://rom-o-matic.eu it says "rom-o-matic.eu’s server IP address could not be found."

I tried running my own service using docker, but even with the standard build options it gives an error 500.

Should I try to build ipxe by hand, or will http://rom-o-matic.eu be up soon?

duplicate of #54, especially:

Did not renew the domain. please use a local docker image.

If people are using this please consider donating. I am happy to be the first, please send me a link or post it here. rom-o-matic is valuable.

Also please contact me to rehost rom-o-matic. donny@fortnebula.com

I would donate to this as well

I've stood up https://rom-o-matic.dev - I intend on hosting this indefinitely. I use it as a tool myself and as long as it's not abused, I will continue to host it.

I understand people's skepticism in running binary builds created by other systems. Especially those created by an 'unofficial' website. I took as many precautions as possible to ensure longevity, security, and stability of the buildserver.

The TLD (.dev) was chosen as it is a "secure" TLD - More Info
The Domain was registered using a registrar that supports and enforces 2FA and supports DNSSEC
DNSSEC is enabled on the domain and registrar
CloudFlare is used as a front-end on an account with 2FA enabled
CloudFlare is configured with Forced Strict SSL encryption is enabled
SSL is facilitated to the docker container using an nginx reverse proxy container
HSTS is enabled using HTTPS headers for the domain as well as the www. subdomain (as well as all subdomains) - This is partially redundant since the .dev TLD is in the HSTS preload list in all Chromium based browsers.
The build system is hosted on robust hardware that does perform other functions but is properly segmented and virtualized
The build system is using the preferred docker image .
The build system is monitored by watchtower so any updates to the docker image are deployed automatically.
The build system is automatically rebuilt every night to ensure stability and using the latest build packages.

@lps-rocks I've added this updated link to rom-o-matic back to the Tools page on networkboot.org. Great work!

rswinney99 commented 4 years ago

That's awesome! Thanks for doing that.

I still get an error when trying to build a 64 bit .efi rom. I got the same error using docker on my own though. Anyone else get the same result?

See error:

Hrm, looks like it's trying to find binaries for a specific revision and can't find it...

Interestingly enough that's the latest version of ipxe https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/ebff21a515f948848e4cb7e332bb6438aafdeb57

Weird... let me see what I can do...

rswinney99 commented 4 years ago

I'm just going to advanced then EFI PXE bootstrap 64-bit (.efi) then I leave all options default except I check PXE support: PXE_STACK, PXE stack in iPXE - you want this

Like I said, it does it when I self host as well.

lps-rocks commented 4 years ago

So, PXE_STACK + EFI do not work together, see:

https://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=8024

rswinney99 commented 4 years ago

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Everything works correctly without the option and my boot process is successful, I'd just formed a habit of using that option in the past.

Again thanks for hosting https://rom-o-matic.dev it's great to have that option back.

donnydavis commented 4 years ago

@rswinney99 I see no donate button. This is depressing.

Also if you need compute resources, I own a cloud company and I am happy to donate compute cycles and object storage to help with the workload. I find rom-o-matic immensely useful, so any way I can help I am happy to.

ferfebles commented 4 years ago

Thanks @lps-rocks. I've been building ipxe by hand since november, but it's great to have ipxe-buildweb up again. I'm sure that people new to ipxe will find it very useful, as It was for myself.

Thanks @xbgmsharp for your previous work. Perhaps could be useful to place a link to the new URL in the readme of this project.

I'm closing this issue with a happy smile in my face!.

sebaxakerhtc commented 4 years ago

An alternative from my side: http://ipxe.pcserviceburgas.com It's just for me, but if you want - use it :)

MaxPeal commented 4 years ago

@donnydavis it would be sensible to also host a instance at youre cloud company, to have a alternative. (mybe like up a new instance for earch user? and for transparency host the cloud-init config also on github?)

the host form @lps-rocks is not working at the moment. URL https://rom-o-matic.dev/build.fcgi?BINARY=ipxe.iso&BINDIR=bin&REVISION=master&DEBUG=&EMBED.00script.ipxe=&

I've enabled issues on my fork. Hrm, bad file descriptor... I'ma have to check that one out.

lps-rocks commented 4 years ago

Looks like the docker container got fubar'd - Added a build check monitor that polls once an hour to make sure the builds are actually working and will alert me if they don't.

donnydavis commented 4 years ago

I know everyone wants to use docker for everything these days - but a good ole fashioned VM still works pretty well IMO. Code for how to build a cloud ready image is here - https://gitlab.com/fortnebula/ipxe-web

I have the image building and seems to work properly. Just need to function test it and see whats busted. https://ipxe.fortnebula.com/

I'd like to know how to deploy that. I can't find any documentation. Please update the README.

@samthelion is this better - https://gitlab.com/fortnebula/ipxe-web/-/blob/master/README.md

That's way better! I still wonder if there's a way to build the image myself tho. Sorry if that's an obvious thing but i'm a newbie ;)

donnydavis commented 4 years ago

Ok, its updated. If you have any problems with it please open an issue https://gitlab.com/fortnebula/ipxe-web/-/issues
