As an additional note: each label you use must be unique across all of your menu entries.

IE: If you make a menu entry for ESXi 6.5 and another for 6.7, then these lines:

iseq ${platform} efi && goto esxi_efi || goto esxi_bios :esxi_efi ... :esxi_bios ...

must have unique labels, for example esxi65_efi vs esxi67_efi instead of both having esxi_efi (or esxi_bios).

If you use the same label in 2 different menu entries than iPXE will go to whichever is listed first in your boot.php.

My two cents.

In RHEL7 I have compiled the dnsmasq 0.78 version using these instructions and doing some changes.

Install the necesary packages:

sudo yum install nettle-devel sudo yum install libidn2-devel sudo yum install libnetfilter_conntrack-devel sudo yum install dbus-devel

config.h options:

/* #define HAVE_LUASCRIPT */ #define HAVE_DBUS /* #define HAVE_IDN*/ #define HAVE_LIBIDN2 #define HAVE_CONNTRACK #define HAVE_DNSSEC

Compiling and starting the service:

sudo make install sudo systemctl start dnsmasq sudo systemctl status dnsmasq

Output:

dnsmasq -v Dnsmasq version 2.78 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 Simon Kelley Compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus no-i18n IDN2 DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP conntrack ipset auth DNSSEC loop-detect inotify This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

What you want to achieve is getting into the realms of software like AppSense. May be worth a look but from experience I know that it ain’t cheap!

@Tiagoluz Could you please post an english translation as well.

@jgallo We must be aware of a few things here.

The github site always contains the latest release. So (currently) the files contained are for FOG 1.5.0. If you are working on a down level version of FOG then you need to take the route of extracting the inits. You don’t need to repack the inits, because you only need the file you want to tweak. Once you have the file you want to patch, then you may unmount the loop directory and remove the unpacked init. The structure of files may change from release to release. In the case of FOS, it was split out into its own branch. The correct path (as of 1.5.0) to the file in question is: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/bin/fog.man.reg (full disclosure, it took me a bit to find the right path too). The only caution is as newer versions of FOG are released, your patch file may become stale, where you might need to update a newer versions of fog.man.reg as newer versions of FOG are released. The risk is that you might be applying an older version of fog.man.reg over an updated version fog.man.reg breaking FOG without a clue why.

The rest of the instructions by @JGallo are still accurate (at least for 1.5.0). You can still use the post init scripts to “patch” the current FOS image as in the original post.

I think the video would be the best option? Would I be adding in the additional storage node linking to the path.

@wayne-workman Sounds good… I’ll see what I can do when I find some free time.

Thanks for responding so quickly, it was very helpful. The procedure was the one described in this post and this forum. Sorry for the Spanish, is it possible to change the title?

thanks man

Look at these threads:

Thank you, I will look over them; now I need to get some more work done, or my boss will chew me out for chatting 🙂

Best regards,

@sebastian-roth Thanks I’ll open a new thread. I tried removing the $ sign but it just takes me back to the menu.

The new thread has been opened up here

Since the feedback has been positive, I’ve cross-linked the old ‘upgrade to trunk’ and ‘getting fog’ articles. I also ask that when people request instructions on getting fog installed, we reference the newer ‘getting fog’ article.
