  @Daan To use FOG within a proxmox OpenVZ container you need to make sure NFS is loaded an enabled on the host system first: # lsmod | grep nfsd nfsd 312315 14 # grep nfsd /proc/filesystems nodev nfsd Now enable NFS for the container as well ($CONTAINER_ID is just a variable, put in the real ID of your container): # vzctl stop $CONTAINER_ID # vzctl set $CONTAINER_ID --feature nfsd:on --save # vzctl start $CONTAINER_ID As well make sure to set the network up as bridge (veth instead of venet) so wake on lan and multicast will work properly.

  @mparlette Also, also, thank you for using my module! I’m glad to see that others are finding use of it! Also also also, another failsafe is to just run commands through invoke-fogapi if the other functions aren’t working. It requires a bit more understanding of the uri paths and using the api. But all the other functions are really just helper functions that make it easier to call that one master function. It’s also the function that actually has some info in it if you run help invoke-fogapi -full

  @george1421 said in Bulk editing hosts: If you are going to mass update the database like this, stop apache and php-fpm first, then run your update, and finally restart php-fpm and then apache. Both php-fpm and apache cache database values for faster access. You are changing the underlying database but its not seen in the UI because of the cache. #wiki worthy.

  @Aaron-McLaughlin said in Backing up images: I tried to do this, but the restored image comes up with a 0 kb size and is unable to be used. You see the 0 kb size because when re-creating the image definition in the FOG webUI we simply don’t know the size as it is only being recorded when capturing the image. You are saying the the image cannot be used after copying it back. This can be for various reasons. File access rights (chmod -R 777 /images/imagename) Path name (Linux is case sensitive, so ImageName is not equal to imagename) Image definition (make sure the new definition does match the old one - resizable/non-resizable, compression method In some cases the error on screen can shed a light on what is wrong with the image. So please take a picture of the error and post here. Next time: Don’t touch the image definition in the web UI. Just move images to an external disk to get some space and let the definition alone. After moving it back you don’t have issues with the image definition.

  Q

  @EAHarvey FOG supports basically all iPXE can support and then some in terms of UEFI. Do note that this does not mean all hardware will function as expected, since a lot of manufacturers decide to ignore the spec and do their own thing or some devices are so new the iPXE drivers aren’t updated for them yet. Still, in most cases, it will work wonderfully.

  Q

  @vincitytaymodaimo said in I have some questions !!!!: Is there a way to make multiple tasks run one after another for the same host, except using scheduling or crone-style? What I am trying to understand if I’m able to accomplish a php form with a few checkbox that will make the host do 1 task after another (with reboots in between). I didn’t look yet in the database structure but is there any option right now for, for example, "task1, status (queued, completed, running), task2, status etc. If there isn’t any, I guess it won’t be very hard to accomplish it unless there are any failed trials I’m not aware of as a user. I guess you could do something like this using the API. I noticed there is an auto OS detection code, is it working yet? When does it trying to detect the installed OS, and can it detect a crashed/unbootable OS? Not sure what you’re referring to here. Where does the OS get auto detected? (this one is problematic anyway, since you can install multiple OS per disk) Is there a way to pass fog variables from FOG’s PXELinux (such as $mac, $ip, $hostname) to a dos application running from a memdisk image? Not that I’m aware of. A memdisk image would have no way to access iPXE variables. Also is there any way to update the database from DOS after the application is over - for example, running a diagnostic dos app and when it returns to dos, make fog server know whether it completed or failed? Anything scheduled as a task can. Others do not, by default. I thought of making network drivers load after exiting the application and upload a file to the tftp server named "<mac-address>-completed, then make a line in the init phase checking if the task completed successfully and changing it’s state, or else is there another way to access mysql server from DOS? There are some driver scripts floating about (postdownloadscripts) that will install drivers after deployment. They don’t report to the database itself, but they do output info to the screen. Clients never access the database itself, at best they contact the web server which may or may not access the database.

  @Redbob Hmm, that’s interesting. Have your tried in non-debug mode again? Failure or does it run through as well? What changed in between? Non-debug and debug mode are not any different while the later one only waits for your confirmations and if variables are set will print more debug information.

  No fog does not support this, but you can use a sister linux product called clonezilla to do that. Clonezilla is similar to how the old GHOST imaging solution worked.

  @george1421 Actually, I’ve just figured it out for the most part. However, is there a way to set it to use the default values already set in FOG? I’ve updated the JSON to have: “useAD” = "Y" This ticks the ‘Join Domain after deploy’ box. I don’t particularly fancy having to tap in the details for the system to join the domain when they’re already configured within FOG itself, though.
