Install and Configure tftpd¶
tftp is required for PXELINUX boot setup. This is how the initial boot files are retrieved from the remote client.
# create directories
mkdir /srv/tftp/
#install tftpd
apk update
apk add tftp-hpa
# set nginx to start at boot
rc-update add in.tftpd
# Update in.tftpd configuration
vi /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd
#change or update row to reflect the path /srv/tftp/
INTFTPD_PATH="/srv/tftp/"
#check in.tftpd service status
rc-service in.tftpd status
#Start service now
rc-service in.tftpd start
The path /srv/tftp/ is important to note as the subsequent configuration will use this folder as root.
