Change boot source to boot from custom ISO

Hi! Thanks so much for posting this. Had a hard time getting this working. I blame snap and AppArmor but that’s a different problem. I was able to get a custom ISO loaded and accessible in the GUI. My use case is calling for using a bootable ISO during commissioning or rescue. I don’t want to load this on to disk.

You posted Select image used for commission per commission - #5 by cgrabowski here that custom images are not supported.

If I simply want to have MaaS boot a custom ISO that I have on a machine (let’s say it’s a rescue image of some sort, or something like a TinyLinux distro that is not part of the standard offerings), is there anyway to do this easily? I’m wanting to select a rescue image and restart a machine and let it do its thing.

This has been proving super difficult.

Thanks!
