Netboot.xyz app does not give an option for tftp port

Hiyas

I am trying to setup netboot.xyz as an App on SCALE 25.04.1

When I am on the edit screen for the app, I have options to specify the web console port and the web assets port but no option for the tftp port, which I believe is 69 by default.

I ran the app and I checked and port 69 isn’t used which isn’t surprising, I didnt expect the app to be able to take port 69.

As I understood, netboot uses the tftp port to distribute the boot images and is needed?

What am I missing here?

Thank you

Browse some other threads and do the Tutorial by the Bot to get your forum trust level up so you can post screenshots or images. It might be helpful.

Have you tried looking at the Docker related files? Sample setups show at GitHub - netbootxyz/docker-netbootxyz: netboot.xyz docker container
It might be in the compose or such or you can view it upon starting

I am having the same issue here.

I’ve installed the netboot.xyz app using default settings including ensuring that “Host Network” is checked which should help with visibility on the network.

I have checked the app logs and it shows:
[dnsmasq] Starting TFTP server on port 69
[dnsmasq] TFTP root: /config/menus
[dnsmasq] TFTP security: enabled

So all looks good but, as the OP says, on the app configuration page I don’t see a way of exposing port 69 to the network as only the web console port and assets port are listed in the app configuration page.

Looking at the App Metadata in the catalog here Netboot.xyz | TrueNAS Apps Market it does list “TFTP Port” in the network configuration section so I’m not clear why that isn’t flowing through to the app configuration page - Am I missing something?
