I'm configuring a TFTP server on Oracle Linux 8 and running into some weird issues.
Configuration files:
/etc/systemd/system/tftp-server.service
::::::::::::::
[Unit]
Description=Tftp Server
Requires=tftp-server.socket
Documentation=man:in.tftpd
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -c -p -s /tftpboot
StandardInput=socket
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Also=tftp-server.socket
::::::::::::::
/etc/systemd/system/tftp-server.socket
::::::::::::::
[Unit]
Description=Tftp Server Activation Socket
[Socket]
ListenDatagram=69
BindIPv6Only=both
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
Both tftp-server and tftp.socket are running and enabled:

Dec 13 09:08:37 systemd[1]: Listening on Tftp Server Activation Socket.
The /tftpboot directory permissions are set to world-readable (777) and there is a world-readable text file in the directory. When I attempt to TFTP from the same server, I get a "Error code 1: File not found". When I attempt a TFTP get from a server on the same local VLAN, the get starts and I eventually get a "Transfer timed out" error. The iptables on the server is configured to allow UDP port 69 inbound.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I followed the instructions at https://linuxhint.com/tftp_server_centos8/ but I simply cannot make a connection, even from the localhost. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
