Public Files

Files available to all clients. For image-specific files, manage them from the Images tab.

User Management

Manage admin panel user accounts and permissions.

Boot Tools

Download a tool to make it available, then enable it to show in the boot menu.

Distro Profiles

Distro profiles define how ISOs are detected and booted. Built-in profiles are updated from the central repository. Custom profiles take priority.

Auto-Install Files

Install operating systems without manual prompts. Windows uses autounattend.xml; Ubuntu uses cloud-init; Red Hat and its family use kickstart; Debian uses preseed. Attach a file to an image for a default config, or override it per client for machine-specific setups.

Bootloader Management

Manage iPXE bootloader sets served to PXE clients. Create custom sets with your own bootloader files.

Boot Menu

Configure the PXE boot menu seen by clients — title, timeout, and default fallback action. Console resolution may not be supported by all iPXE firmware builds.

Webhook

POST a JSON payload to a URL when PXE events happen. Fire-and-forget, 10s timeout, no retries.

Backup

Download a .tar.gz of the bootimus data directory: database, bootloader configuration, custom bootloader sets, and settings. ISOs and downloaded tool binaries are excluded (they're reproducible).

Restore is manual: stop bootimus, extract the tarball over the data directory, start bootimus.

USB Boot Images

Download bootable USB images for machines that don't support PXE network booting. Write to a USB stick and boot from it to access the bootimus menu.

API Reference

All endpoints require authentication except where marked PUBLIC. Responses are JSON of the form {success, data, error}. Placeholders are shown as {name}.

Server Logs

Live server log output for TFTP, HTTP, and PXE boot activity.

Boot Attempt History

Record of all PXE boot attempts by clients.
