+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Shoelaces serves over HTTP iPXE boot scripts, cloud-init configuration, and
+any other configuration files to baremetal or virtual machines booting
+using iPXE. It also does a few other things to make easier managing server
+deployments:
+
+- Has a simple but nice UI to show the current configuration, and history
+  of servers that booted.
+- Uses Go templates to handle complex configurations.
+- Allows specifying the boot entry point for a given server based on its IP
+  address or DNS PTR record.
+- Supports the notion of environments for Development and Production
+  environment configurations, while trying to minimize template
+  duplication.
+- Puts unknown servers into iPXE script boot retry loop, while at the same
+  time showing them in the UI allowing the user to select a specific boot
+  configuration.
+
+Shoelaces is better when used along a DHCP server. Refer to the
+*CONFIGURATION* section for examples on how to configure a DHCP server for
+hooking it with Shoelaces.
+
+# CONFIGURATION
+
+Shoelaces searches for a config file whenever the *-config* flag is
+specified.
+
+Here is example config file:
+
+```
+port=8081
+domain=localhost
+data-dir=/etc/shoelaces/data-dir/
+template-extension=.slc
+mappings-file=mappings.yaml
+debug=true
+```
+
+*dhcpd*(8) can be hooked with Shoelaces by adding the following snippet in
+*dhcpd.conf*(5):
+
+```
+# dhcp.conf
+next-server <your-tftp-server>;
+if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
+  filename "http://<shoelaces-server>/poll/1/${netX/mac:hexhyp}";
+} else {
+  filename "undionly.kpxe";
+}
+```
+
+Similarly, *dnsmasq*(8) can be configured for working with Shoelaces with
+the following snippet:
+
+```
+dhcp-match=set:ipxe,175 # iPXE sends a 175 option.
+dhcp-boot=tag:!ipxe,undionly.kpxe
+dhcp-boot=http://<shoelaces-server>/poll/1/${netX/mac:hexhyp}
+```
+
+A TFTP server such as *tftpd*(8) must be configured to serve the IPXE ROM,
+*undionly.kpxe*.
