Pritunl Boot Documentation
Welcome to the Pritunl Boot documentation. Pritunl Boot is an interactive iPXE boot installation tool. This tool allows for an iPXE Linux installation without knowledge of the system resources such as disk layout and network adapters. The Linux Kickstart installation script will send the resource layout to the boot tool web server. Then the web app will prompt for selecting disks and configuring the network adapters. The Kickstart script will poll the web server waiting for the configuration, and once the selections are made from the web app, the configuration will be applied to the installation.
Getting Started
The server must have an iPXE environment with an active internet connection. The two modes of installation are explained below.
Interactive Install
The interactive install initiates the operating system install then in the pre-install script the system disk and network layout is sent back to the Pritunl Boot service. This allows an interactive selection of install disks and network configuration without needing to have information about the system hardware before starting the install. This is the recommended and most versatile mode for most installations.
Preconfigured Install
The preconfigured install contains the full configuration before initiating the install. This mode is useful for simple configurations that need to be fully automated. Using this mode will limit disk and network configurations.
