# iPXE customer script (BETA)

Booting your server with your own iPXE script allows cool things like:
 - running diskless bare-metal system like CoreOS, SmartOS, ...
 - recovering with your own Rescue system or bare-metal restore tools (like Acronis and Idera)
 - launching Standard installer like ESXi, [Linux](examples/linux.md), Solaris, ...

How?
Using directly the RESTful API [EU](https://api.ovh.com/)|[CA](https://ca.api.ovh.com) or the API console [EU](https://api.ovh.com/console/)|[CA](https://ca.api.ovh.com/console/).

It's also working for Kimsufi [EU](https://eu.api.kimsufi.com)|[CA](https://ca.api.kimsufi.com) and SoYouStart [EU](https://eu.api.soyoustart.com)|[CA](https://ca.api.soyoustart.com).

#### 1. Upload your custom iPXE script
CoreOS example (https://coreos.com/docs/running-coreos/bare-metal/booting-with-ipxe/)

```http
