  @Tom-Elliott said in Feature request for FOG 1.6.x - FOG Installer instll DNSMASQ:

  I’m on board for this as well, though wouldn’t mind some help in implementing.

  Sure, I will! There is no rush yet. I am working on making the move from 1.5.x to 1.6.x first and then we’ll look into all the feature requests opened lately.

  @george1421 We use the certificate store. Though this is something else I was hoping to change in the future because Mono on Linux and Mac OS X have a long history of issues with the certificate store and we might think about keeping the certs just in files on the disk. I have not had the time to think this through. Might be a dead road…

  Feature request for FOG 1.6.x - Break out API engine from WebUI

  The API and UI could be separated while still using the same port. The virtualhost config would look something like this:

  <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName dev.localhost DocumentRoot /home/projects/smk/cms ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/smk-cms-error.log </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName my-project.localhost DocumentRoot /home/projects/smk/deploy ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/smk-deploy-error.log </VirtualHost>

  Reference:
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6069892/different-virtualhosts-with-the-same-port

  If this separation were done, I would think the installer could ask you if you want to install the API (defaulting to yes) and ask if you want to install the UI (defaulting to yes). This would allow the admin to break stuff apart.

  I also think the database portion should be broken out, and the installer should ask if you want to install that or not (defaulting to yes).

  There should be installation arguments for these things too.

  Also, not wanting to delay 1.6 as noted by others. I would like to see this separation in a later release. As George has noted, if these things are separated it becomes easier to work on each one independently, meaning the learning curve to contribute is lower. Particularly with using popular frameworks.

  Just my 2 cents.

  Let me clarify, it turns off the limitation preventing the update to move all tables to innodb.

  @Wayne-Workman The replication services provided by FOG use their very own logic implemented in PHP to sync files via FTP protocol. I vote for getting rid of this!

  I would hope we can tunnel rsync through SSH to not have to open up another port in the firewall. Together with this I would want to get rid of FTP altogether by using SSH for the other places in the code where FTP is used at the moment (move images directory after upload and kernel after download).

  @Tom-Elliott Thank you very much! This will help us greatly as we image off hours or when others want to monitor the duration of imaging and such. Thank you so much!

  @Tom-Elliott Yes, this might work, but I didn’t want to spend too much time experimenting. If somebody wants to follow up on this, that’s fine, but I won’t.

  @zfeng I believe there are some powershell tools for that and I have built a powershell module for the api (see links in my signature). I haven’t done anything CICD with it but I imagine that’s something that could be figured out. I mean I kind of do something like that with my images having powershell modules and scripts in git that build and capture my image, but it’s not automated with a CICD design as I like doing it a bit more manually to make sure everything runs smoothly.

  I don’t have the ignore mac on client/imaging
  Setting built in to those functions, but you can take a peek at the code to see whrte you are setting the primary property there is also a property for ignoring mac on client. I’m on my phone at the moment so can’t go test and get for sure answers. But it’s either a part of thr maclist array of a host or a different property. Point is you can for sure set that. If you give me a bit more detail I will gladly try to give you further examples on how to do it with the powershell module

  @JYost What you see when you first click hosts is the search view. Typing in the menu bar search field you should see results below.

  To change this you go to FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> FOG View Settings and change setting VIEW DEFAULT SCREEN from SEARCH to LIST. Don’t forget to click Update to save the change.

  Hey thanks for all your help @Sebastian-Roth. This helps me look into things more.

  Today I will try to setup a sandbox VM so I can look into playing around with 1.6.

  Thanks again!

  @AlexPDX Its best to start a new thread for this issue.

  To help push things along… You don’t have any imaging issues? The ftp error might indicate that you have/will have image capture issues. Run through this script to ensure all of the passwords are in sync. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/11203/resyncing-fog-s-service-account-password

  Snapin to Host assign

  I copy pasted the function into my console and tested it with a snapin that was assigned to just my computer and it did in fact queue it to deploy.

  This could be altered to quickly deploy to a given list of hosts or groups as well. Giving you a quick command line method for deploying snapins to hosts in a variety of ways.

  If this is something that would achieve what you’re going for let me know and maybe I can add in the functions to the api module so they just exist and then you have a deployment tool via command line, which is typically quicker in my humble opinion

  @Tom-Elliott said in Task management - add Snapin name column:

  The snapin task page, if I remember correctly, displays the snapin name, the host it’s deploying, and the time and status of that task.

  Yes the “Active Snapin Tasks” page does display the names.

  @mousepl I can still imagine why you might it find helpful to have this information on the “Active Tasks” view as well. On the other hand we do have a lot of requests on the list and not many people actively working on the FOG code. So if you are keen to get this added you might need to get involved as well. Sorry to say this but it’s very far down on the list because the information is already available in the web UI just on another page.

  @JJ-Fullmer It’s good you bring this point up. We get posts in the forums every now and then but it’s very hard to estimate how often this really happens in the wild as we have no numbers of rEFInd working properly.

  Adding more options is a good idea either way as it doesn’t hurt us and might help people.

  Personally having used grub2 to PXE boot I will get onto that and see what’s the best way to add this to FOG.
