Hello,

Can we please get some instructions on how to generate certificates for netboot.xyz?

Currently I cannot build my own version using the existing script.

I'm trying to work around this as well. It looks like the pre-release script is tailored for the netboot.xyz site. It looks like there are references to the netboot.xyz certificate authority. So my first guess for a place to start is create a CA and make sure the pre-release script only references your CA.

This is coming in full self hosting, and automated building with Ansible.
When Version 2.x is released we will have documentation on self hosting locally and hosting a Website endpoint with signatures.

Please see these instructions for self hosting:

If you are looking for a local only type thing we also have a web application for configuring one:

There's also a deep dive into setting up the certs on the iPXE site. https://ipxe.org/crypto

You can generate the certs needed there and then there are options in the Ansible for specifying cert locations so that it will build the images for you.
