    @Tom-Elliott

    Just lyk that I updated the main FOG server to Debian 13 and installed the latest stable release of FOG.

    Replication working well now that the OS and FOG server versions match the Storage Node server.

    Thanks again

    @Tom-Elliott just bumping this. Is there anything I can do to help? I have some experience building Linux kernels from a few years ago.

    I pulled latest dev-branch version 1.5.10.1856, re-run installer and snapins are working again.

    Thank you very much for help.

    Shoutout “The Minester”

    https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/685

    On the storage node, create a .my.cnf file in root’s home directory:

    sudo tee /root/.my.cnf << ‘EOF’
    [client]
    skip-ssl = true

    EOF

    MariaDB will try to connect with SSL by default but that’s not enabled on the main FOG server. This is why I had to use the --ssl=FALSE flag when I connected to mysql manually.

    The installation succeeded!

    Hello everyone,

    As I work at a secondary school, I was able to get hold of some Catalina iMacs (iMac 14.3).
    I already use FOG to deploy Windows and Linux images on PCs.

    I would like to deploy a LinuxMint image on these iMacs.

    However, I am unable to boot into PXE on them with FOG, and I do not know what is wrong.

    I modified my DHCP server as follows:

    ## FOG class "UEFI-32-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-32-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002"; filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-1" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-2" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "UEFI-64-3" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009"; filename "ipxe.efi"; } class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" { match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60; if (option dhcp-message-type = 8) { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC"; if (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:01) { # BSDP List option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:01:04:02:80:00:07:04:81:00:05:2a:09:0D:81:00:05:2a:08:69:50:58:45:2d:46:4f:47; } elsif (substring(option vendor-encapsulated-options, 0, 3) = 01:01:02) { #BSDP Select option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:01:02:08:04:81:00:05:2a:82:0a:4e:65:74:42:6f:6f:74:30:30:31; # filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi"; filename "snp.efi"; } } } class "Legacy" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000"; filename "undionly.kkpxe"; } ### END FOG

    I tested ipxe.efi in 64-bit and 32-bit, as well as snp.efi, but it still doesn’t work. I get some kind of spinning planet when I try to boot.

    I admit I don’t fully understand the documentation page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOG_on_a_MAC

    Thanks in advance!

    I’ve updated my FOG to the stable release and also updated my script with the following three lines, and everything’s fine – the database has been backed up successfully, it’s perfect!

    fogApiToken="XYZ=" fogUsrToken="ZYF" curl -ik -X GET "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/system/export" -H "fog-api-token: $fogApiToken" -H "fog-user-token: $fogUsrToken" -o $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1

    Thanks again for all your hard work on the FOG project!
