Originally created by @elsucht on GitHub (Aug 7, 2021).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/957

Describe the bug
Changes to boot.cfg in dockerized netboot.xzy are not used.

To Reproduce

Just start docker based netbook.xyz as described in the documentation.
Change boot.cfg via WebApp, e.g. set live_endpoint.
Starting a client with pxe and selecting a distro shows that the default live endpoint is still used. downloads are happening although distro is available in local assets

Expected behavior
Setting live_endpoint to local server in boot.cfg should use local endpoint and so avoid downloads

Additional context

using Docker based netboot.xyz on Ubuntu 18

Tried replicating this and it worked well for me. Once you edit the live_endpoint to the local url it should only pull that asset locally. I'd make sure you aren't having an error on the first load and that it fallings back to the internet hosted version.

I have a similiar issue. How can I see or test if my new config has errors?

The only thing I did was downloading local assets for ubuntu & ubuntu live (not all flavors) and changed the value for live_endpoint to http://my_netboot_server:8080. Also checked the ftp server and saw the files. But when I boot it always falls back to web downloading.

I can't provide a complete answer, since I am not sure if it actually worked. I have recently installed a few new Ubuntu machines via net iso and I saw again the status of the downloading process.
The process starts with trying from our netboot.xyz and start downloading from releases instead of using a cached version.
