Title: [SOLVED] Boot local but load tcz from web - possible?
Post by: Zendrael on December 18, 2015, 12:54:54 PM

Hi!

Is it possible to boot TC locally but load all tcz extensions from a webserver?

It's not a netbooting as there will be the basics on local (as the base microcore), and after boot (or before it finishes), download and load all required extensions.

Any ideas?

Sure, it's possible. It's just the "cloud mode" automated, after all.

For best user experience, you should use a local mirror on your LAN. In bootsync.sh, do something like

Quote

su tc -c "tce-load -wi foo foo2 somethingelse"

Thanks curaga!

Did't thought in that simple way! Sometimes I forget to stay simple!
