Readit NewsGod help you if you actually want to install an operating system.
PXE is such a vital capability for working with on-prem servers. But it's ten different things which all have to play nicely together. Every time I build a PXE system I feel like I'm reinventing the universe in my tiny subnet.
Consider rewriting the program in Go, then you’ll have a statically linked binary that’s much easier to install (less dependencies) and will be much faster too.
Alas, this is just a python tool :)
I would add a link to the gitlab to the page also, clicking the LICENCE brings me to the source code but other than that there did not seem to be a link .
Out of curiosity, did you use LLM's to code this? My gut feeling tells me at minimum the readme was written by one, or maybe it's normal to use emojis everywhere :-) Also I am not meaning to judge it as good or bad, I'm just curious.
I think one thing that LLM's and coding agents enables, is creating these customised solution which solve a specific problem, in a specific way. Some might consider it wasteful. I bet many thinks your effort would have been better spent contributing to one of the existing ones instead of doing yet another tool, but I find fascinating that we can finally tell our computers what we need and the will do it.
If you hand-wrote everything, then apologies for the unrelated rant :-)
I used ChatGPT to design the solution that I wanted and Claude Sonnet to do most of the coding.
I'm trying to figure out what works for me in the brave new world of AI enabled development, so that I can make recommendations to my team.
A few things that really helped me here were:
- Having the gitlab cli (glab) installed and configured was very helpful because it allowed me to do things like lint the CI file and inspect the build output in the LLM context.
- Having the zereight/gitlab-mcp installed was useful as well. Even though I can make Issues and MRs using the CLI, the LLM frequently made escaping mistakes when writing long comment sections. The mcp tool was great for this.
- Almost all of my process started with me describing a bug or feature, then asking the LLM to investigate the feature and create an Issue. From there I tried as much as possible to keep the scope of my work small and exclusively tied to an issue branch.
I'm a reasonably good programmer - I've been at it for 30 years. I think there's no question that LLMs expand my "radius of capability." Just like everyone else, I'm trying to figure out the best way to safely maximize this new world of tools.

I've been testing in ubuntu containers doing:
pip3 install service-ping-sping --break-system-packages
*EDIT:*
I think this is to do with me not being specific about what version of typer I depend upon... working on it now!
This is now fixed in 0.2.11. Thanks @johnQdeveloper
I did not realize that they had a booster with that many launches.
I'm sure they expect that a long-lasting reusable rocket will eventually fail.
SpaceX must be eager to study the wreckage to see where to improve their reconditioning process.
Perhaps it’s a confusion with k3os, a k3s operating system. https://github.com/rancher/k3os
I love all of the oddball projects being spun out by Rancher/Suse. It can be hard to keep track of them.
Oh wait this one is kubernetes distro, and that one's an OS and this thing... well it's a... err... binary container something-or-other?
Some NICs support http. Some NICs support tftp. Some NICs have enough memory for a big iPXE, other NICs don't. Some BMC systems make next-boot-to-lan easy, but not all.
We almost always use iPXE in order to normalize our pxe environment before OS kickstart. There's a lot to it and quite a lot of little things that can go wrong. Oh, and every bit of it becomes critical infra.
