Install AIO Simplex into Packet.com via iPXE
Configure a Web Server to serve ISO
This assumes an Ubuntu 16.04 instance, but any Apache web server should do. It must be available publicly, ie. have a public IP address that is available from the Packet.com data center that the instance is being deployed to.
apt install apache -y
Download an ISO from the CENGN archive.
Mount that archive.
mkdir /var/www/html/stx mount -o loop ~/bootimage.iso /var/www/html/stx
Create an iPXE configuration file that is availble from the web server. Replace the "webserver_public_ip" with the webservers public IP address. Note that the configuration below will install a AIO Simplex node via the
set base-url http://<webserver_public_ip>/stx
kernel ${base-url}/vmlinuz console=ttyS1,115200n8 root=live:${base-url}/LiveOS/squashfs.img ip=dhcp ks=${base-url}/smallsystem_ks.cfg boot_device=sda rootfs_device=sda inst.text inst.repo=${base-url} security_profile=standard user_namespace.enable=1
initrd ${base-url}/initrd.img
imgstat
boot
Create an Instance in Packet.com
Use "Custom iPXE" for the operating system choice and point it to the iPXE configuration that was setup in the webserver configuration step.
