Diskless Cache: How to Fix Slow Boot on client PCs

If your PCs take a long time to start or download updates every time they reboot, you need to set up Diskless Cache. 

It supports all diskless systems: SENET Boot, CC Boot, and others.

Why do this?

• Instant Login: No "Syncing..." bars or waiting after a reboot, as PCs stop downloading updates at the login screen.

• No Network Spikes: The server downloads updates once, and PCs simply use them.

• No Superuser Needed: Update background without ever opening the OS image.
   

Step 1: Install the Tool on your Server

• Download and install the Diskless cache installer on your main server:
  
  https://files.senet.online/winget/senetdisklesscache/1.3.97.0/DisklessCacheBundle.exe

Step 2: Fill in the Settings

Open the Diskless cache app on the server and enter these 4 things:

1. Content Disk: Select the drive on your server where your games are stored.

2. Client disk: Next to the content disk, enter the letter used by client PCs for the game drive (e.g., D).

3. Server: Your SENET server URL
   (e.g., https://venue.app.enes.tech/)

4. API Key: Paste your unique key here

⚠️ Ask the support team if you don't have the key

5. Click Apply and Apply all, then click Save Settings.

Step 3: Update your PC Image (One-time setup)

The goal is to point the PC to the game drive instead of the C: drive.

Option A: If you use SENET Boot or CC Boot:

1. In the Diskless Cache app, find Patch Images.

2. Add the path to your image file (e.g., the .vhd file, usually in F:\ a similar folder on the server).

3. Click Apply.

⚠️ Keep the Save snapshot checked for safety

Option B: If you use other systems:

1. After configuring the Diskless cache app, start superuser mode on one of the client PCs.

2. Download and run this file on that PC:
   
   👉 https://files.senet.online/diskless/SenetDisklessClient.exe

3. Save the image and turn off superuser mode.

That's it! After this one-time setup, everything updates automatically.
