Hey @foreman1

You can use “foreman-installer” to configure networking services. See Configuring network services in Provisioning hosts.

check tftp logs:

# journalctl -u tftp -f

Mai 24 19:26:15 <user> in.tftpd[26138]: Client ::ffff:192.168.2.104 finished boot/rocky-linux-imLv796i67R9-initrd.img
Mai 24 19:41:00 <user> systemd[1]: tftp.service: Deactivated successfully.
Mai 26 10:16:08 <user> systemd[1]: Started Tftp Server.
Mai 26 10:16:08 <user> in.tftpd[147746]: Client ::ffff:192.168.2.104 finished pxelinux.0

also check the proxies logs and try to temp. disable your firewall

also check your tftp configuration.
i think the initial install can also log some valuable infos.
but i think the tftp is just misconfigured so proxy wont start that service
