* Squid proxy docs were added as a draft in 2017 to show a containerized setup for caching images for network boot environments * These docs never matured to a point of viability, I don't make use of squid, and they're unmaintained. Users would be better served consulting the squid project
matchbox 
matchbox is a service that matches bare-metal machines (based on labels like MAC, UUID, etc.) to profiles that PXE boot and provision Container Linux clusters. Profiles specify the kernel/initrd, kernel arguments, iPXE config, GRUB config, Container Linux Config, or other configs a machine should use. Matchbox can be installed as a binary, RPM, container image, or deployed on a Kubernetes cluster and it provides an authenticated gRPC API for clients like Terraform.
