    I noticed a couple instances of link rot on the Include Parted Magic page and thought I would update them, but that appears to require registration, so here I am. I’ve been an editor on almost all of the Wikimedia Foundation projects since 2003, so I promise to leave everything in better shape than I found it. 😊

    Thanks,
    RS

  • Fog as a backup tool?

    @heix75 Thanks a lot for reply!
    I use a medical lab program that stores clients data and examinations results almost all day. Of course I take incremental SQL backups.
    So if something breaks I would like to have a recent PC backup to only restore SQL.
    I used Macrium for that and now I use UrBackup which is open source but not widely used and I wonder if Fog would be a better solution.

    @trent_potter Yes you figured it out. Sysprep is a Windows utility, it has nothing to do with FOG. It is always recommended to sysprep before capturing an image.

    @george1421 I have installed fog with DHCP server but DNS doesn’t work at all (no dns server appear on windows client) so I’m stuck.
    It’s my first time installing DHCP and DNS on Debian so I think I made mistakes.
    DHCP work fine.

    edit : It’s fixed. I forgot to add “option domain-name” and “option domain-name-servers” in dhcpd.conf

    For the script, I think it must be simple to set FOG as DHCP server at startup if after 10 min no IP is given from a DHCP server then set server to static IP and start DHCP and DNS services.
    And then reverse this at shutdown.
    Maybe this can be done manually first.

    edit : Here is the first script.
    I have create files ending with .dhcp for conf for external DHCP/DNS and file ending with .static for conf for local DHCP/DNS.
    It looks to work fine.

    # Configuration actuelle echo "Etat DNS local :" systemctl is-active bind9 echo "Etat DHCP local :" systemctl is-active isc-dhcp-server echo "" loc(){ # Configuration DHCP local echo "DHCP local" # Configuration if [ -e /etc/network/interfaces.static ] then echo "Copie interfaces" cp /etc/network/interfaces.static /etc/network/interfaces else echo "interfaces.static not found" exit 1 fi echo "Redemarrage service reseau" systemctl restart networking.service if [ -e /etc/resolv.conf.static ] then echo "Copie resolv.conf" cp /etc/resolv.conf.static /etc/resolv.conf else echo "resolv.conf.static not found" exit 1 fi # Services systemctl start bind9 systemctl start isc-dhcp-server } ext(){ # Configuration DHCP externe echo "DHCP externe" # Configuration if [ -e /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp ] then echo "Copie interfaces" cp /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp /etc/network/interfaces else echo "interfaces.dhcp not found" exit 1 fi echo "Redemarrage service reseau" systemctl restart networking.service if [ -e /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp ] then echo "Copie resolv.conf" cp /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp /etc/resolv.conf else echo "resolv.conf.dhcp not found" exit 1 fi # Services systemctl stop bind9 systemctl stop isc-dhcp-server } # Demande de Configuration while true; do read -p "Voulez vous passer en DHCP externe ou en DHCP local? (e:externe l:local) " el case $el in [Ee]* ) ext; break;; [Ll]* ) loc; break;; * ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";; esac done

  • Updating Fog without knowing how I installed it?

    Finally, I did my update.

    The problem was that I was running Debian Buster, so I first had to upgrade to Debian Bullseye so that the installer could install the new packages.

    Then, I made a copy of the fogproject/ folder, deleted the folder to initiate a git clone
    Next, I followed the tutorial and restarted the installer, which restored my old settings. The web interface is working, so I assume my clones will work as well.
    Thank you.

  • Unable to install CA certificate

    @Hojjati I’ve found a solution for this issue that worked for me.
    You need to manually edit the Windows hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add an entry with your FOG server’s IP address followed by the name “fogserver”.

    This is necessary because SmartInstaller.exe performs a pinning process during installation, if you notice the installer hangs or fails exactly at that pinning stage, it is definitely due to this resolution issue.

    Adding the entry ensures the installer recognizes the server and can download the certificate properly.

    Finally found out why I couldn’t auth over 636, I needed to add my domain’s CA cert to the FOG server’s root cert store. Once I did that I can now use my AD creds over 636 on the web UI and iPXE menu items.

  • Using if/then during PXE boot for proper boot loader

    @george1421 I see now and you’re right as my clients are all legacy boot/BIOS boot non UEFI and would not benefit from the client-arch examination.

    I’ve already declarations set for each host in my dhcpd.conf file in terms if MAC to IP and so adding another field of filename “some boot loader file” won’t be impossible.

    Thanks you for this exercise as I’ve learned some very important things here.

    @george1421 Just seeing if anyone else has had issues.

    Haven’t purchased the new models yet.

    Was hoping to confirm they’re compatible with FOG first, so thought I’d reach out and ask around.

    Thank you!

    @alterak If you know how to program linux bash scripts this is possible. You will need to edit a script called fog.man.reg that is in FOS Linux (the OS that runs on the target computer to capture/deploy images). I have a tutorial on modifying that program to set a default hostname. But the concepts you need to do what you ware are listed here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/14278/creating-custom-hostname-default-for-fog-man-reg
