  I am using Fog 1.5.10.1870 on Alma Linux, I have build a windows image and want to deploy images on several computers models, so I use a script to rename the machines by their chassis and serial numbers ,I also want to join these machines to the domain, could you please advice me for the easier secure way to do that? My current problem is when the machine rename but join the domain the rename revert back to the machine Mac Address.
  I am new to Fog , your direction and advice is appreciated, thanks!

  UPDATE 07/17/2026

  After some experimentation and examining the fogftp.class.php file, I found that FOG calls ftp_rename to move files from the /image/dev/<mac_host> folder to the /image/<image_name> folder.

  Finally, it helped me to connect with a regular ftp client (WinSCP) and try to move the folders manually. This is how I found out that the problem was in the permissions set on the folders.

  So I found out that from my original version 1.5.10.10 to the current 1.5.10.1903 there was a change in the file

  /lib/reg-task/taskqueue.class.php

  in the private function _moveUpload() method it was previously

  ->chmod(0777, $dest) and now it is ->chmod(0775, $dest)

  That (maybe) could be the reason why it stopped working for me. Thanks to this post https://forums.fogproject.org/post/156271

  chown -R fog:users /volume1/images/ #set inheritance to the dev folder chmod g+s /volume1/images/dev/

  I connected to the NAS with ssh and fixed the permissions over the folders. Now it’s working fine again.

  @Valer Thanks for the report and the writeup, that’s a good catch. You’re right about the cause. Debian 13 dropped the sysv-rc-conf package since it’s fully on systemd now, so the installer chokes trying to apt-get it. We never actually use that tool on a systemd system anyway, it only ever got called on the old non-systemd paths, so it was just dead weight on Trixie.

  I pushed a fix to working-1.6. It leaves the package off the list on Debian 13 and up, and it also strips it out of a cached .fogsettings so an in-place upgrade doesn’t drag it back in. Older Debian keeps installing it like before so nothing changes there.

  If you want to get moving before you pull the update, you can either grab the latest working-1.6 and rerun the installer, or just open /opt/fog/.fogsettings and delete sysv-rc-conf from the packages line, then run the installer again. Either one gets you past it.

  Let me know if you hit anything else on Trixie.
