Lite-Server mode fails when using Interactive-Client
I am trying the Lite-Server for the first time. I have followed the process described here except I select the following options:
- Clonezilla Live (Default settings, and to RAM)
- Client Boot Mechanism = both
- DHCP service = start-new-dhcpd
- Start the Clonezilla mode = interactive-client
Then it runs and waits for clients to connect.
It is a completely isolated network, just the client and the server connected with a switch between them.
I run the client from the same USB stick that I run the server from. And I select Network Boot via iPXE
Clonezilla loads over the network and then I select either of the following options (both fail):
- remote-dest
- lite-client
Errors:
- with remote-dest option the error is:
Running: nc 192.168.169.250 9003 > /tmp/ocs_onthefly_tgt.rZkP1J/target_type.ocs_onthefly
(UNKNOWN) [192.168.169.250] 9003 (?) : Connection refused
- with lite-client option the error is:
Running: wget -P /tmp/ http://192.168.169.250/ocs-client-run.conf
...
Connecting to 192.168.169.250:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
I'm not exactly sure what version I'm running, maybe this helps:
clonezilla-live-20230426-lunar-amd64
This Clonezilla live iso file was created by this command:
ocs-iso -n a -s --extra-boot-param quiet loglevel=0 -y 6.03 -i 20230426-lunar-amd64
Please can you help me to understand the problem here. Should the interactive mode work as I expect? I have tested the massive-deployement option and this works as described without errors.
Are you sure your firewall allows those ports? You have to make sure they are not blocked.

There is no firewall. I have two computers next to each other with an unmanaged switch in between. One I boot from the live CD as the "Lite-Server" and the other one I boot from the live CD as the "Lite-Client" or "Remote-Dest". Neither works.
