HELBOOT

HELBOOT

Docker app from Kreuzbube88's Repository

Overview

HELBOOT is a provisioning engine for homelabs: upload original OS ISOs, build installation profiles, register machines by MAC address and get fully automated network installations (PXE / iPXE / HTTP boot) for Windows, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Proxmox VE and more. Works alongside your existing router DHCP (ProxyDHCP mode) or as a standalone DHCP server. Host network mode is strongly recommended: PXE relies on DHCP broadcasts that do not traverse Docker bridge networking. Ensure UDP 67/69/4011 and TCP 8080 are free on the host.

Install HELBOOT on Unraid in a few clicks.
