@cornycopia After thinking about it, there’s a “general” port that’s used.

FOG Settings -> FOG_FTP_PORT

Granted this isn’t per server, but it is a choosable thing.

@youzersef I was remote to the physical host, but it seemed more like a blue screen in comparison to just “hanging”.

Anyways, I reinstalled FOG and cloned “stable” instead of “master” and got around that issue.

I’m going to make another post for another issue I’m facing with UEFI (would have updated sooner, but forms have been down).

@zeltron80 So what would this look like ? I just simply want another server option in the menu. Is it using your ‘exit’ => ‘exit’ to ‘exit’ => ‘chain tftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/menu.ipxe’ ?

@youzersef finally solved was a very simple think in the end of the installation I was pressing enter and after that I was opening the link that was a reason why was not working omg 😅
Now to work it’s work but it’s going slow to capture the image how I can get more faster ?

Re: AlmaLinux 8.9 NetInstall or ISO

I ended up piggy backing the ipxe setup from fogproject and loading netboot.xyz which is doing the trick.

Thank you.

@bkgoodman This can be set from the fog web ui. FOG has a concept of storage nodes and master nodes. Only master nodes can collect images, you can deploy images from both master nodes and storage nodes. Where storage nodes are deploy only.

While the following deals with synology nas devices the same info can reference other NFS aware devices. Your target system needs both nfs AND ftp enabled to be able to function as a FOG storage node.

@altitudehack This was a spam attempt that was missed. I’m working on clearing it out, and apologize

@Tom-Elliott
No, the node points to the master configurations.
installtype=‘S’
snmysqluser=‘fogstorage’
snmysqlpass=‘password’
snmysqlhost=‘ip_master’

using the fogproject/bin/installfog.sh

Checking if this node is registered…Done

Node being registered…Done

Ensuring node username and passwords match…Done

Setup complete

You still need to setup this node in the fog management
| portal. You will need the username and password listed
| below.

Management Server URL:
http://fog.test.test/fog/

You will need this, write this down!
IP Address: 172.17.0.2
Interface: eth0
Management Username: fogproject
Management Password: password

I redid the installation using the fogproject/bin/installfog.sh script and everything went well. I deleted the storage node from the master and ran the commands below again, it returned success but the storage node was not added to the master.

source /fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh
source /opt/fog/.fogsettings
registerStorageNode

To enter bios of the VM, use F2 key on boot, then you can disable secure boot

@george1421 Cool! After reinstalling FOG, ipxe.efi has file sizes now so the ASUS PC can PXE boot with ipxe.efi. Thank you very much!

@PCF24 Here is a quick and dirty script to reset all your hosts.
I tested it with two hosts and it is working for me. I don’t want to reset all my hosts.

You will have to paste your FOG server IP, FOG user api token, and FOG settings api token to the script.
You will also need to install jq in your FOG server.
Debian base: sudo apt install jq. RHEL based: sudo dnf install jq

#!/bin/bash server_ip="http://10.10.10.10" fog_user_token="PASTE_YOUR_USER_API_TOKEN_HERE" fog_api_token="PASTE_YOUR_FOG_SETTINGS_API_TOKEN_HERE" all_hosts=$(curl -S -s -X GET -H 'content-type: application/json' -H "fog-user-token: $fog_user_token" -H "fog-api-token: $fog_api_token" $server_ip/fog/host/ | jq '.hosts[]') all_ids=$(echo "$all_hosts" | jq '.id') all_ids=${all_ids//\"/} for host_id in $all_ids do curl -S -s -o /dev/null -H "fog-user-token: $fog_user_token" -H "fog-api-token: $fog_api_token" -X PUT -d '{"pub_key":""}' $server_ip/fog/host/$host_id/edit curl -S -s -o /dev/null -H "fog-user-token: $fog_user_token" -H "fog-api-token: $fog_api_token" -X PUT -d '{"sec_tok":""}' $server_ip/fog/host/$host_id/edit curl -S -s -o /dev/null -H "fog-user-token: $fog_user_token" -H "fog-api-token: $fog_api_token" -X PUT -d '{"sec_time":"0000-00-00 00:00:00"}' $server_ip/fog/host/$host_id/edit done

@george1421 Thank you for your quick reply.
I am currently trying to get the multicast cloning to work over several vlans as in your instructions.
I am using OPNsense instead of Pfsense. Unicast works without problems, but we have many of the same PCs and so multicast would make sense.
Part 2.7 would be relevant to check that I have not forgotten any ports.
Part 3.1 and 3.2 as I have never worked with an IGMP proxy.
During a short test, everyone stopped before cloning and waited. Would assume it was because of my wrong IGMP configuration as I didn’t see any blocked ports on the firewall.

@Tom-Elliott
Thanks, for all the input.
I’ll see if i can find some sensible solution for my setup.
