I have configured my network environment to PXE boot VMs. I was wondering if it's possible to PXE boot a systemd-nspawn container

1This doesn't make much sense. PXE provides information on how to boot a full system (or VM), but systemd-nspawn provides lightweight containers which share a kernel with the host. – ephemient Nov 12 '17 at 04:49

Yeah I see what you mean and it's likely my understanding is a bit off, but it seems like it'd be possible to have a minimal container that starts up and then pulls down a filesystem and init binary to chain to the real container/OS. PXE as I understand it has a very similar role and so I thought it might be possible to use the same code – dippynark Nov 12 '17 at 05:23
