How to configure tftp server on Fedora 23?

Question

I have installed the tftp server using:

#dnf install tftp-server

How do i set the tftp server directory ? I don't see any tftp related config files in /etc.

Solution

Fedora 17 onwards uses systemd for controlling the tftp service. The applicable systemd configuration:

/lib/systemd/system/tftp.service

Quoting from my Fedora 27 installation, you want to tweak the parameter after -s:

[Unit]
Description=Tftp Server
Requires=tftp.socket
Documentation=man:in.tftpd

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot
StandardInput=socket

[Install]
Also=tftp.socket

The man page is a good reference of in.tftpd for additional options.

On a side note SeLinux rules expect TFTP to be served out of the above folder, so you'll probably need to reconfigure those (or cough switch off SeLinux).
