That's my first question. Also, I'm French so I'm sorry for the mistakes I'll make.

Currently, I know how to create a deployment server (TFTP, DHCP and some ISO).

I also know some "soft" that can do local deployment (like fog) but they don't provide a true user-friendly interface (or a way to make it in html or anything else)

But I want the user booting my server to have a graphical interface where he can select which OS and which pilots.

I don't know if this is clear; I'll edit if you have a problem understanding me.

'select which OS and pilots': are you thinking of dual boot system (Windows / Ubuntu) or of multplie linux flavors? – Marc Vanhoomissen

The client starts his computer in PXE and then selects I want to install Windows server 2008 x64 and clicks install or I want Windows 10 with the pilots for my network card and also geforce experience. I've already seen this in a company, so I know it's possible; I just don't know how.

Use syslinux to create a menu to be shown over PXE/TFTP booting from the linked post. – muru

It looks good, I'll check this out.

No, I know how to make a PXE server (or at least, I can find out easily). The thing I'm asking is how to make a friendly-user interface with checkbox and other utilities (I think I can build it like a simple HTML form).

As muru said in the comments, syslinux seems to match my attempts.

Here is a link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYSLINUX

Hope it can help someone ;)

I'll update it later to transform it into a real answer.

  • a link to a possible solution or guide is not considered a good answer on Stack Exchange sites. Please could you expand your answer, preferably with concrete instructions. For example, you could document your own steps. – Zanna Jan 24 '18 at 12:55
  • Well I didn't done this PXE server with syslinux yet, I need to do it but i'm a bit little in time, should I delete my answer ? – Lucas Azoulay Jan 25 '18 at 08:00
  • I don't think you should delete your answer, but it would be awesome if you could please come back and expand it later – Zanna Jan 25 '18 at 08:57
