Installing OS from local file just unpacking the file
Hi, I have installed the PiServer (0.7.4 included in the newest Raspberry Pi OS Desktop Version) on a Laptop for testing purposes.
I was able to successfully boot an image downloaded from the internet (through the UI).
But first, I tried to install an image from a local file (raspbian-lite.img.tar.xz).
While booting a client and additionally capturing packets, I recognized that the file bootcode.bin was not found via TFTP.
In the /var/lib/piserver/tftproot/ directory a symbolic link was created (MAC Address as link name).
But file /var/lib/piserver/tftproot/MAC-ADDRESS gave me the message ... broken symbolic link to /var/lib/piserver/os/raspbian-lite.img/boot.
So I have been taken a look into /var/lib/piserver/os/raspbian-lite.img/ and only saw one file called 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-armhf-lite.img.
So it seems like, when installing an OS from a local file, the archive gets unpacked, but no further processing happens.
