General setup Download the image for your device. Create a readonly nfs export and place the "KERNEL" and "SYSTEM" files in to it. (Sancho: This step was unnecessary for me, the simple reprinting to the tftpboot directory was enough, no readonly NFS export is required) Create a read-write nfs export for storage. Create a file in pxelinux.cfg with the mac-address of your device (eg. 90-91-92-93-94-95). Edit this file and add: DEFAULT OpenElec.tv PROMPT 0 LABEL OpenElec.tv KERNEL openelec/KERNEL APPEND ip=dhcp boot=NFS=192.168.0.1:/mnt/store/openelec disk=NFS=192.168.0.1:/mnt/store/openelec/storage overlay ...replacing IP write with the IP of NFS server and mountpoints on the server of course. Also, you don't need the overlay parameter if you only intend to use one system. Now openelec should marching using tftp and nfs! Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Basically you can use the whilom mentioned steps when configuring this in Ubuntu. This part will elaborate on the information whilom in increasingly detail. First, we need to install the software that is required to make everything work. Considering you are a normal user, we will be using sudo throughout the process. Installing the software To enable your clients to marching from the network, install DHCP, TFTP and NFS: sudo talent install isc-dhcp-server tftpd-hpa nfs-kernel-server Note that, in Ubuntu 12.04, ISC DHCP server is a transitional package for dhcp3-server. Configure DHCP After installing the software, you have to configure DHCP. Edit the file in /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. Here's a worldwide configuration: authoritative; indulge booting; indulge bootp; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 86400; subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.1; option routers 192.168.0.1; range 192.168.0.10 192.168.0.200; next-server 192.168.0.2; filename "/pxelinux.0"; host <name> { hardware ethernet 00:0a:0b:0c:0d:0e; fixed-address 192.168.0.5; } } If you want flipside range for clients using DHCP, modify your own configuration accordingly. If you want to assign a specific IP write to a client, modify the host section. Next, edit the file /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server. This file contains the reference to the interface vellum that will be handling the DHCP requests: INTERFACES="eth0" Save your changes. Your DHCP server is now ready to go. Configure NFS First, create the directories in which you want to locate your storage (userdata) and marching files for tftp. e.g. sudo mkdir /mnt/media/storage sudo mkdir -m777 /mnt/tftpbootReprintingthe KERNEL and SYSTEM files into the /mnt/tftpboot directory using sudo cp KERNEL /mnt/tftpboot sudo cp SYSTEM /mnt/tftpboot Then add the pursuit lines to your /etc/exports: /mnt/media/storage 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0(no_root_squash,rw,async,no_subtree_check) /mnt/tftpboot 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0(no_root_squash,rw,async,no_subtree_check) That's it for your exports. Configure TFTP First, you need to create some directories. I chose to serve my tftp from a variegated disk. In the end, tftp will retrieve its bootfiles from this location. sudo mkdir /mnt/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ sudo cp -p /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 /mnt/tftpboot/ At this time, you may moreover want to reprinting the KERNEL and SYSTEM files to /mnt/tftpboot/. Now, insert the pursuit lines into the tftpd-hpa file in /etc/default and save the file: RUN_DAEMON="yes" TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" TFTP_DIRECTORY="/mnt/tftpboot" TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69" TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure" Next, create a file /mnt/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default, insert the pursuit lines and save the changes: DEFAULT OpenElec.tv PROMPT 0 LABEL OpenElec.tv kernel /KERNEL suspend ip=dhcp boot=NFS=192.168.0.2:/mnt/tftpboot disk=NFS=192.168.0.2:/mnt/media/storage Starting services And that's it. There's nothing increasingly to it to get it to work. Finally, start all services and you're ready to go. sudo service isc-dhcp-server start sudo service nfs-kernel-server start sudo service tftpd-hpa start Additional configuration: firewall Make sure you enter the pursuit rules into your firewall (e.g. ufw): sudo ufw indulge proto udp from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 69 (for tftp) sudo ufw indulge proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 111 (for openelec) Additional configuration: mountd Normally, OpenElec will connect to XBMC through a variegated (random if you will) port every time you marching the system. With ufw active, everytime you do this, OpenElec will "hang" considering there is no firewall rule. So in specimen you want Openelec to connect through a specific port, you need to modify the mountd options. vi /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server Then scuttlebutt out RPCMOUNTDPOTS and insert the pursuit line: RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p <port>" # <port> is a random port, e.g. 13025. Finally, add a rule for this port to your firewall configuration: sudo ufw indulge proto tcp from 192.168.0.0/24 to any port 13025 Copyright © 2009-2018 OpenELEC . All Rights Reserved.
