PXE over nfs

  • Just for info.

    I just installed LibreElec on my PXE Server, works like a charme. You can simple use the OpenElec Guide for it.
    Only thing i will do now is also centralising the artwork cache for my two clients.

  • The Artwork already is on the Server, and i did not notice any performance issues.

    Spacesaving is not the issue, but so new artwork is instantly available when the first client scraped new media.

  • ok, do you mean thumbs cache, or a mysql database?
    i've got a mysql database, which works fine.
    i've tried cachinig tumbs on my server, which made kodi slow....
    what's your experience with this? and how did you do it?

  • I have a central MariaDB database and my Clients boot via PXE. Also the storage of the clients (which means also the thumbs cache etc) is on the Server (NFS share), but seperate for each client (overlay).

    Now i want to centralise that so all clients use the same Artwork Cache. I have no issues with that, but i may depend on the clients i use. I have two Intel NUC DN2820 connected by a wired GBit Network. Dont know what clients you have. But if youre Clients are rPi's i can imagine that they have a poor performance in that case.
