Homelab PXE Rescue Toolkit
This page is served by the Debian provisioning host at ${http_base_url}. The same host serves TFTP boot assets from ${tftp_root}.
PXE Menu Entries
- Automated homelab worker template: unattended Debian install using preseed.
- Rescue shell: Debian Installer rescue mode for mounting and repairing an installed system.
- Expert/manual install: interactive Debian Installer path for one-off machines.
- Automated install, verbose: same preseeded install without quiet boot.
- UEFI firmware settings: returns into firmware setup when supported.
- Exit PXE and continue local boot: leaves the GRUB netboot path.

Notes
The default menu entry remains the automated install so the Pimox template builder can still boot unattended. Use the firmware console to select rescue or manual install when recovering a host.
