iPXE Prebuilt binary web interface

Why

A Prebuilt binary web interface. Many users would prefer to be able to download prebuilt binary versions of iPXE, rather than building it from source.

What

A web-based user interface that provide a way for the user to select any relevant iPXE build options, specify any embedded script, etc, and then construct and download the appropriate file.

How

The user interface, is using HTML, CSS as well as Javascript (jQuery) and a suitable server-side language (such as Perl and PHP). All GUI options (git version/nics list/compile options) are generated dynamicaly using PHP. The build.fcgi script is written in Perl and was wrote by Michael Brown.

Or all in one with the ssh connection

$ ssh $(docker ps -a | grep ipxe-buildweb | awk '{print $1}' | xargs docker inspect | grep IPAddress | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '"' | tr -d ',' )
