@PrymalInstynct commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2024):
Switched to official Docker image and I am getting the same results.
@Firminator commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2024):
I checked my custom menu just 2 or 3 weeks ago and it was still working. When did you start seeing this?
@PrymalInstynct commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2024):
I had not pxe'd anything in my environment since probably mid September. Then I went to rebuild a bunch of hosts on Monday and had to scramble to figure out what was going on. I am still at a loss.
@Firminator commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2024):
Sorry nevermind I'm loading my custom repo differently than you. I'm providing my Github username in the main menu ("Custom Github Menu").
@PrymalInstynct commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2024):
Understood, I was able to get that to work in order to pxe what I needed to, but the ability to modify the built in menus with customizations was what I had been leaning on and that is what broke.
@mazay commented on GitHub (Nov 23, 2024):
I can confirm, any modifications to the menus are not picked up. I'm running netboot locally using the latest docker image.
Modified menu:
Menu on a PXE booted VM:
This is a fresh install, I'm trying to migrate from a custom PXE setup to the netboot.xyz
@boriskugelmeier commented on GitHub (Jul 7, 2025):
Bug is still existing in the latest docker image. You can randomly change any config. All changes are found in the config files stored at the config volume. But I only get the "original" menus. Unfortunately unusable for me.
@Zamana commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2025):
More than one hour trying to understand what's going on, and them I found this thread.
Same here: docker image ghcr.io/netbootxyz/netbootxyz.
The "/config" folder is mapped, the changed menu file is there, but the options in the boot are the same all the time.
@david-igou commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2026):
Make sure you are copying your custom menus to
/config/menus/localLooks like on startup the container renders the contents into /config/menus
I hit this issue because at first I just copied to /config/menus (because I tried making a custom one in the UI and then when I saw my text menus how up there I figured that's where I copy them)
