About Packet.net

has bare-metal hosting from 15 data centers around the world, and allows users to
PXE-boot their own operating systems. This makes it a suitable environment for running VyOS.
As of this writing several steps are necessary to prepare a system for booting.

VyOS installation on Packet.net

VyOS defaults to a console baud rate of “9600”, which is not compliant with packet.net’s SOS. As such, the squashfs image will need to be unpacked, config.boot.default updated to the correct serial number/BAUD rate and the squashfs image recreated. The image can then be booted from a temporary or permanent web server via iPXE.

VyOS 1.8 (stable) or above is required due to an where the “fetch” command is run prior to network loading.

Preparation

Install needed tools:

apt update && apt install squashfs-tools

Fetch image file:

wget https://downloads.vyos.io/release/1.1.8/vyos-1.1.8-amd64.iso

Create directory for the image:

mkdir /tmp/iso

Mount the image:

sudo mount -o loop vyos-1.1.8-amd64.iso /tmp/iso

Create directory for the squashfs:

mkdir /tmp/squashfs

Unsquash it:

unsquashfs -f -d /tmp/squashfs/ /tmp/iso/live/filesystem.squashfs

Configuration

Now we need to change the TTY and BAUD rate in the boot config file /tmp/squashfs/opt/vyatta/etc/config.boot.default .
Change line 32 from

console {
device ttyS0 {
speed 9600

to

console {
device ttyS1 {
speed 115200

Rebuilding the image

Now the squashfs can be rebuilt, the compression method and block size that were used in the original image file are needed.
Check the original image file, look for the lines Compression and Block Size :

unsquashfs -s /tmp/iso/live/filesystem.squashfs

Create a new image file using the determined compression method and block size values:

mksquashfs /tmp/squashfs/ /tmp/filesystem.squashfs -comp gzip -b 131072

Installation

A server for booting VyOS might be within the same Packet data center that you are bringing VyOS up in (for quick boots), or you can boot from your laptop with a proxy tunnel like ,
or you can use an existing web server somewhere on the Internet.

The following files need to be hosted on a public URL somewhere, this URL needs to be added to the iPXE data below: (Note: the URL must be an IP address, host names are not allowed).

• /tmp/iso/live/vmlinuz
• /tmp/iso/live/initrd.img
• /tmp/filesystem.squashfs

A option is needed for the installation, set the user data to the following:

#!ipxe
dhcp
set base http://
kernel ${base}/vmlinuz
initrd ${base}/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live config console=ttyS1,115200n8 ip=${net0/ip}::${net0/gateway}:${net0/netmask} fetch=${base}/filesystem.squashfs
boot

Watch the system boot through the Packet .
