CentOS7 Vagrant VM with roles for configuring as a PXE boot server

---

What is this

This is a Vagrant box built with Ansible scripts to configure a PXE server with the following image options:

• Ubuntu 17.10
• Gentoo
• More images can be added by editing the pxe_configure/tasks/main.yml file and the pxe_configure/defaults/main.yml file

Usage:

• Run vagrant up command
• After the server has booted and been configured via Ansible, grab the ip address from the system: ip addr
• I use my router running the Tomato firmware as the DHCP server and pass the IP of the PXE server from above with the following line in the DHCP config section:

dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,<IP address of PXE server>

Other configuration

• You can also modify the Ansible plays to setup a DHCP server on the PXE server itself by uncommenting the appropriate sections in the pxe_configure/tasks/main.yml file
• You will also need to ensure that the gathered Ansible fact for the network interface name is correct or change it if not
• To limit which images are installed, edit the 'osname_image' variable in the provisioning/provision_vagrant.yml file
