on: Netboot.xyz: your favorite operating systems in one place
We are definitely willing to add NetBSD if someone can demonstrate it working well with iPXE. It's come up several times and it's implementation works with pxelinux in a local setting but not so well with iPXE as the implementation linked looks for a specific file on a tftp source.

Most of my testing was just allocating an ARM machine on Equinix Metal as I didn't have much ARM hardware to test or qualify on. I've also gotten the bootloader and menu to work with an RPI4 but loading operating systems on one was a bit more challenging given reduced memory on the hardware.

There is ARM support as well in addition to i686/x86-64. Operating system versions are typically dropped as they go EOL upstream from the menu, we try and keep the menus up to date as changes and new versions are released.

Sounds like Spotify is trying to make is as hard as possible for the coming exodus to Apple One as there is more perceived value in the Apple bundles than just paying for a single Spotify music subscription.

Hi, owner of
https://netboot.xyz here. netboot.xyz has https support, with http support still being in place for those that don't have https support compiled into iPXE as it's not compiled by default. I'd recommend checking out the site directly if this is something that interests you. All of the source code running the site is on github as well and we're always open to contributions. We also always try to retrieve the installer kernels directly from the OS supported mirrors when possible so that they are pulled from trusted sources.

on: Offer HN: Free logo design for an open source project
netboot.xyz (
https://netboot.xyz), uses the iPXE project to network boot Operating System installers and utilities from quick and easy to use menu.
I have no logo today but would love to see what you might be able to come up with.

Yeah, I originally wrote boot.rackspace.com. I built netboot.xyz based on a lot of that original code, expanded what Operating Systems and Utilities it supported, and wanted to make it a more open project for everyone to take advantage of.

Dev here. The project is just a bunch of iPXE scripts that understands how each distro works and routes you to their hosted bits or a trusted mirror once you select the image. I've tried to keep all of the code on Github and the Travis CI deployment out in the open for that very reason. A project like this needs to be highly visible in order to be trusted to a degree. I also have things like image verification and https support on the list of things to do.
