# bootcfg API
## iPXE Script
Serves a static iPXE boot script which gathers client machine attributes and chain loads to the iPXE boot config endpoint. Configure your iPXE server or DHCP options to boot from this script (e.g. set `dhcp-boot:dhcp-boot=tag:ipxe,http://provisioner.example.com/ipxe/boot.ipxe` if using `dnsmasq`).
GET http://bootcfg.example.com/boot.ipxe
**Response**
#!ipxe
chain config?uuid=${uuid}
## iXPE Boot Config
Renders an iPXE boot config script based on hardware attribute query parameters and registered boot configs. Hardware attributes are matched in priority order: UUID, MAC address, default (if set).
GET http://bootcfg.example.com/ipxe
**Query Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|--------|---------------|
| uuid | string | Hardware UUID |
| mac | string | MAC address |
**Response**
#!ipxe
kernel kernel-for-machine.vmlinuz cmd-line-options
initrd initrd-for-machine
boot
`kernel-for-machine`, `cmd-line-options`, and `initrf-for-machine` are populated from a boot config.
## Pixiecore Boot Config
Renders a Pixiecore boot config as JSON to implement the Pixiecore API [spec](https://github.com/danderson/pixiecore/blob/master/README.api.md) for Pixiecore setups. Currently, Pixiecore only provides MAC addresses for mapping to boot configs.
GET http://bootcfg.example.com/pixiecore/v1/boot/:MAC
**URL Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|--------|-------------|
| mac | string | MAC address |
**Response**
{
"kernel": "\/images\/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz",
"initrd": [
"\/images\/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz"
],
"cmdline": {
"coreos.autologin": ""
}
}
## Cloud Configs
Serves cloud configs based on hardware attribute query parameters and registered cloud configs. Hardware attributes are matched in priority order: UUID, MAC address, default (if set).
GET http://bootcfg.example.com/cloud
**Query Parameters**
| Name | Type | Description |
|------|--------|---------------|
| uuid | string | Hardware UUID |
| mac | string | MAC address |
**Response**
#cloud-config
coreos:
units:
- name: etcd2.service
command: start
- name: fleet.service
command: start
## Image Assets
If you need to host kernel and initrd images within your network, bootcfg server's `/images/` route serves free-form static assets. Set the `-images-path` when starting the bootcfg server. Here is an example images directory layout:
images/
└── coreos
└── 835.9.0
├── coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz
└── coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
└── 877.1.0
├── coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz
└── coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
