demo repo for a rethink of the Tinkerbell stack architecture

• Working DHCP server
  • If you're running this from a home network, whatever DHCP server you have for your local computers will work.
• Linux machine to run the stack
  • If you're on a mac, you'll need a linux VM
  • It will need to have an adapter thats connected to the same network as the DHCP server
• A machine to PXE boot
  • If you're on a mac, a VM with a network adapter that is connected to same network as the stack and DHCP server

1. Start the stack

docker-compose up -d

2. Add one of the hardware data json to tink-server

# using the hook operating system installation environment
docker exec -i tinkerbell-next_tink-cli_1 tink hardware push < ./hardware-data/hook.json

# using the default OSIE
docker exec -i tinkerbell-next_tink-cli_1 tink hardware push < ./hardware-data/osie.json

# boot to netboot.xyz
docker exec -i tinkerbell-next_tink-cli_1 tink hardware push < ./hardware-data/netboot-xyz.json

3. Boot the machine - make sure the machine you want to PXE is set to boot from the network adapter

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the hardware data file to see the machine boot into the different operating system installation environments
