  @sebastian-roth
  I figured such. The usb method on my offline imaging switch is redundant since pxe works fine on that. Just would have been nice to be able to image remotely booting via USB, kind of like Acronis+mapping to an SMB share that stores the images. If only my network team would enable tftp/pxe on their dhcp servers. We have it only on our hq subnet but it is being used by SCCM, and SCCM takes a very, very long time to image a PC. We only use it to get a base Windows 10 image and work on it from there, then capture/upload our custom dept images to the FOG server.

  Thank you for your reply @sebastian-roth

  So I forked the project and started the translation, there is a lot of work!

  Is there an end date for this translation to arrive in the next version of FOG?

  Fog storage node selection by latency instead of load

  @eliphas said in Fog storage node selection by latency instead of load:

  Just reinstalled the two slaves today, now they are full servers. Was thinking, if I add the slave1/slave2 as storage nodes to the master1 again, would not the master1 still point the clients to them?

  In the above configuration (since they are all now full fog servers) the image raw files will replicate from the master to the storage nodes (full remote fog servers). What will not happen automatically is the image definitions in the database will not be auto synchronized. You will need to do an export using the web gui on the master node and then an import on the storage node to get the image definitions.

  Ok now to the clients. Since there is a full fog server at each site, you will have each site configured to talk to its local FOG server. The central server is not in the picture when pxe booting or imaging the remote sites.

  @MEIT-TC No, FOG does not keep track of a client’s IP address. While the database actually has a field called hostIP (code ref) this is not being used in the code.

  So if you are really keen you could try to work on implementing this.

  @chuck2000 said in Failed to get an IP via DHCP:

  The image size is 240GB which in nearly the size of the entire SSD

  Without looking into this off the top of my head, I would say the source disk was encrypted with bitlocker, so during image capture partclone sees this and does a sector image copy instead of a disk image. You can see this during the blue partclone screen while its running you will see the format as RAW.

  @tom-elliott

  Are there any plans to make a windows/mac/linux app that would allow FOG images to be mounted and read allowing the user to copy files from an image?

  Thanks

  Boot Porteus Kiosk iso from fog pxe menu

  @greg-plamondon I’m looking at the iso image and I think we should be able to pxe boot it.

  In the tftp root directory create a dir to hold your files.

  mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/port

  Copy from the iso image /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.xz to /tftpboot/os/port on the fog server.

  Then you will want to create a new FOG iPXE menu similar to this

  Menu Item: os.Porteus.Kiosk
  Description: Porteus Kiosk 5.2.0
  Parameters:
  kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/port/vmlinuz
  initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/port/initrd.xz
  imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.xz quiet first_run
  boot || goto MENU
  Menu Show with: All Hosts

  Lets see what that does for you. We may have to tweak the image args because I see a parameter of http_server= in the syslinux config but its not in the grub config.

  @john3892 Assuming you installed FOG via git, please run:

  cd /path/to/fogproject #change this to where it is actually located git checkout dev-branch git pull cd bin ./installfog.sh -y

  This issue should be addressed.

  Thank you,

  @b_man I’ve been researching this exact question for the last several days.
  What have I got from that research, nothing but a empty heart, sorry, over exaggeration.
  This thread https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/14999/simplifying-deployment-with-official-virtual-appliance/19 seems to be the status quo of the situation.
  I can’t criticize, after reading through the whole thread, it has opened my eyes as to the “what if’s”.
  For me, a pre built container is a must, as my docker skills have just got off level zero. I also give preference to the container method because of less resource usage and speed of start up and shutdown.
  Also looking at the VM method, but need more info on exposing the VM to the LAN. Not the best choice due to greater resources used and slower start up and shutdown.
  Any way, I’ll keep researching other net booting applications in the meantime, as well.
  So to summarize, I was of no help to you at all… but your not alone.

  @sebastian-roth
  Sebastian,

  Thanks for the prompt response.

  The images are not stored in the Master, they are in different storage, my query was because before Storage -> Master could synchronize but now it would not be leaving me, I manually copied an image to the Master and the replica works, my query is "Storage -> Master works? " FOG version is 1.5.9.65

  I can say that this idea it’s pretty good. I think in this way you could earn only advantages. It would be hard for me to think about such an idea. LOL. Also, I could advise you to try some team-building games at the conference. In this way, you could make the conference more interesting. On another hand, people will make new friends and will strengthen their communicating skills. We had a similar event in our company organized by team-building. In this way, I overcome my problem of speaking in front of people.

  @Greg-Plamondon Interesting point you have there. You might take a look at the hostSecTime column in hosts table in the database. I am not sure how often this is being updated but it should let you find hosts that have not checked in in a long time.

  @sebastian-roth said in configuration ssl interface de fog:

  @julio The certificate we see in the picture is not generated by FOG I would say (Issued To: Administrateur, Issued By: Administrateur, Expiry Date: 17/11/2120?!?). Did you put that CA certificate file there?

  The mentioned path /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/CA/.fogCA.pem is where the FOG installer will generate the CA certificate. It then copies that file to /var/www/html/fog/management/other/ca.cert.pem, where it is used by the Apache webserver. So you might want to compare those two files. Maybe you need to import the later one if you have messed with those files.

  Be aware that importing the CA certificate into the Personal key store is probably not going to help. You need to import into Trusted (Root) Certificates section.

  pour ceux qui sont intéresser suivez les etapes de mr roth.

  @sebastian-roth I have but I’m still trying to wrap my head around how it properly works. I think its more me trying to understand the Documentation thats available to read online/watch, but Im wanting to do it more with Powershell but not finding any documentation on the Wiki.
