Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1237

Describe the bug
Navigating to Local Assets, choosing the files from "ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64" (22.04.2-7d91a596) and downloading these, doesn't download the files.

It does create the folder locally.

~~I suspect it's because the files are missing in the https://github.com/netbootxyz/ubuntu-squash/releases?q=7d91 repository.~~

Update:

I was able to find the release here: https://github.com/netbootxyz/ubuntu-squash/releases/tag/22.04.2-7d91a596

I was also able to download the initrd and vmlinuz-files, but the filesystem.squashfs isn't part of the release.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run the docker container, version 2.0.68
Navigate to "Local Assets"

Select files from "ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64"

ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64	22.04.2-7d91a596/filesystem.squashfs	
ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64	22.04.2-7d91a596/initrd	
ubuntu-netboot-22.04-amd64	22.04.2-7d91a596/vmlinuz

Click "Pull Selected"

Expected behavior
Files are pulled to the local filesystem.

Actual behavior

1st attempt: empty folder was created
2nd attempt: folder was created with initrd and vmlinuz-files

Huh, it looks like the current ubuntu netboot menu ubuntu.ipxe isn't even using filesystem.squashfs right now, because it's just downloading the ISO from the Ubuntu mirrors, so.. maybe this is more of an issue that it shows up in the UI, and it's a bit unclear what needs to be hosted locally.

I ended up downloading the ISO and putting it in the assets folder, and make a couple of changes to the .ipxe-file.

So I'm not stuck, I was just a little confused.

The Ubuntu netboot kernels are not really intended to be used off-line in the app but they show up there because they are pulled down and maintained by the endpoints.yml. They probably just need a flag so that the app doesn't display them.

Thank you for the answer @antonym, can you elaborate a bit? It takes ~1 hr to download the netboot images from the official mirrors. What's the intended way of using the Ubuntu netboot kernels?
