# etrick

Eggs use this DHCPD PROXY server to provide PXE boot information to the clients, it need the presence of a standard DHCPD server on the LAN, but You don't need to reconfigure it to add PXE fields.

This project started from the only working dhcpd proxy for nodejs I could find: FOG project [node-dhcproxy](https://github.com/FOGProject/node-dhcproxy).

After using it to implement a PXE server for eggs, I began to feel the need to have my own version and perhaps evolve it into a full PXE server.

So I decided to rewrite it in typescript, give a structure and start to use it for my project [penguins-eggs](https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs).

There is still work to be done, though; it is functional but should undergo refactoring. In particular, I could not convert the main part - the proxy and server classes - into typescript.

You can find an example of use in the [pxe.ts](https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs/blob/master/src/classes/pxe.ts) class of penguins-eggs. 

Note the lines:

```

// @ts-ignore

import etrick from 'etrick

```

And lines:

```

    /**

     *

     * @param dhcpOptions

     */

    dhcpStart(dhcpOptions: IDhcpOptions) {

      new etrick(dhcpOptions)

    }

```

The definition of types can be found in [i-pxe.ts](https://github.com/pieroproietti/penguins-eggs/blob/master/src/interfaces/i-pxe.ts)
