Netboot (PXE) setup for Raspberry Pi

Setup

1. Install Ansible.
2. Adjust hosts.ini and add the host name of the installation target, configure installation path and Raspberry Pi clients in config.yml.
3. Run the playbook: ./setup-raspberry-pxe-boot.yml.

Current state/Known issues

At the moment, I'm stuck at mounting the root FS via NFS. I'm not sure if this is caused by a specific NFS setting or general issue with my Synology NAS (where I was running the pxe server from) or something related to the code.

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2
OS: RaspiOS Lite ARM64
Kernel: 5.10.17

Boot log:

Sending DHCP requests ..., OK
IP-Config: Got DHCP answer from 192.168.178.1, my address is 192.168.178.24

     nameserver0=192.168.178.1
     ntpserver0=192.168.178.1
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS.

I created a Stack Exchange posting, but so far I had no luck solving this issue. If you find the code working for you or you notice some detail I missed, I'd be super happy to hear from you.
