prologin.netboot.netboot module¶

Netboot HTTP server, getting data from MDB and serving iPXE config chunks.

This is required mostly because 1. we don’t want mdb to have iPXE related things (shouldn’t bring specifics into a generic server); 2. iPXE scripting is not expressive enough to be able to query MDB and then store the results in a variable.
