Hello, I'm x2go user since some years ago. Now trying to install a new PXEBOOT server. What I did:
Updated x2go sources according: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:repositories:debian
Then continued building system with instructions https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#building_your_own_x2go-tce_imag...

Looks good.
- http server installed. Both x2go-tce.sessions & x2go-tce-filesystem.squashfs are accesible through niginx. root@pxeserver:/usr/local/x2gobuild# cp live-build-x2go-20200227200355-netboot-amd64-openbox-magic-pixel-workaround-buster/x2go-tce-filesystem.squashfs /var/www/html/x2go-tce/
So what's the full URL for each of them?

The question is: what's inside the *.cfg files there? You're not following the instructions from the Wiki if you're using the tar file. I mean, it's okay to do that if you don't have an existing PXE setup that this might interfere with *and you know what you are doing*, but for a first-time setup, sticking to the instructions really is the better idea.
"Our" instructions say you need to copy the kernel, initrd and squashfs files that are created by our build script (they all start with x2go-tce-*), and manually edit the .cfg file, see <https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:howto:tce#setting_up_your_own_netbootable_x2go-tce_environment> Section "Adding the configuration files to your Boot Server", especially the third bullet point there, and the example *you need to edit* below.

That sounds like you're mixing NFS and Live-Boot. Don't do that. NFS doesn't understand Live-Boot's boot parameters, so you can't tell it where to find its config file via a boot parameter.
