My Raspberry Pis all netboot. I have a bunch of them around the house. Some play music, some play games, some are smart TVs. Because they all boot from the LAN, there's no card to wear out, and I can change what OS they boot into just by renaming a file. It's simple, but intensely useful.
- maherbeg 4y agoWhat are they netbooting from? Presumably there's a root device somewhere?
- LeoPanthera 4y agoYes, a TrueNAS box running a TFTP server for /boot and NFS for root. The server is discovered via DHCP.
- yeswecatan 4y agoThis is super cool. Did you follow any specific tutorial?
