Improve UI
It was a misunderstanding on my side. I thought that PXE image support could be added to ipxe.efi (in a way that also the PXE functionality which exists in non-UEFI BIOSes would be added to ipxe.efi) so that the new UEFI-only box can boot the same way as all our other existing non-UEFI BIOS boxes. My misunderstanding was encouraged by the fact that https://rom-o-matic.eu/ has select buttons for PXE stack/menu support AND for PXE image support also for the output format "EFI PXE bootstrap 64-bin (.efi)". Thus (in case I want to use iPXE for the UEFI-only box) I have to always change the (automatically created pxelinux based) DRBL configuration (DHCP server config, ipxe.conf script...) whenever I change the DRBL setup (e.g. adding/removing DRBL client...) I guess for simplicity the select boxes are the same for all build targets (even if they do not make sense for some of them) which allows to have only one static page for all targets. Showing only the meaningful options for the respective target would mean to implement a context depending dynamically created web page which would update whenever another build target is selected. So I would not call it an error but rather a "nice-to-have" feature.
Lets try to show only the meaningful options for the respective target. It require to implement a context depending dynamically created web page which would update whenever another build target is selected. Maybe using the default settings eg, config/defaults/*.h
Maybe we could implement some kind of profile base on the default settings eg, config/defaults/*.h
Hey man I've been using your tool for some time and I love it. Do you mind if I reimplement the UI using a UI framework like Bootstrap or Foundation? If you agree, I can work on it when I go home. Bootstrap plays nicely on different screen sizes and has a very "familiar" look to a lot of users: http://getbootstrap.com/
You can surely do. I did not used any UI framework to make it simple. As more options get integrated, it does make sens.
A few ideas:
- Having most common profile would be nice.
- Make it more errors proof.
- Finishing the SSL cert implementation, which i never committed.
I can surely help.
I started the bootstrap redesign branch. Have a look at let me know what you think so far:

edit: btw, I couldn't test much with the PHP stuff. I was having trouble getting the apache config right
Looks nice! Check the install.sh file for the need package list on Debian/Ubuntu. https://github.com/avindra/ipxe-buildweb/blob/master/install.sh PHP is use to do callback to Perl script, this way all options are dynamic and available as soon push upstream.
