Embedded iPXE menu to choose which network adapter to boot from (autodetects up to 10 adapters)

Go into your git checkout folder of ipxe.

Save the below file as nic-menu.ipxe.

Build iPXE like this:

cd src && make EMBED=../nic-menu.ipxe && cd ..

Requirements: current iPXE as of 2013-08-01 (for proper behavior of autoboot with a network device specified, netX feature, PCI vendor/device ID display and inc command)

Some docker examples

Commit, clone a container

To 'clone' a container, you'll have to make an image of that container first, you can do so by "committing" the container. Docker will (by default) pause all processes running in the container during commit to preserve data-consistency.

For example;

docker commit --message="Snapshot of my container" my_container my_container_snapshot:yymmdd

Hello guys,

Continuing from this guide to building ffmpeg and libav with NVENC and VAAPI enabled, this snippet will cover advanced options that you can use with ffmpeg and libav on both NVENC and VAAPI hardware-based encoders.
