gPXE based builds

Support
1

Hello,

I'm trying to configure foreman to do gPXE builds, however I'm having
problems using it for deployment. My procedure thus far,

Configure gPXE template -> associate hostgroup/environment to template

Edit host, verify gPXE template and kickstart are associated with this
host

Click save -> this is where the error occurs. Foreman returns unable
to associate without PXE template.

Has anyone run into this before?

This happens because you have configured a tftp proxy for your subnet,
there is no way to disable that per host at the moment.
two possible hacks:

  1. dont click on the enable this host for build, this should get you
    further (to get gpxe) but might have issues with puppetca after the
    installation.
  2. enable a dummy tftp porxy

cheers,
Ohad
