FYI for anyone else running into this issue - I believe the problem was that I didn’t erase the /tftpboot images when I switched from http to https. I’m not really sure why that would matter, but when I did that, then re-ran the server reinstall and selected https, the images got but back in /tftpboot and my hosts didn’t see the mac error anymore.

@Jeremy If you can put a dumb switch between the Pi and the cable you currently connect into:

Connect the cable you normally plugin to the Pi into the 5 port switch then your pi to that switch and this should test the connectivity STP problem I believe is occurring.

@Priyankha We need a lot more details.

FOG Version

What bootfile is your boot server trying to send?

Is you server sending the right FOG server for option 66/67?

What OS are you trying to capture?

What does the error show or maybe a screen shot? (UEFI Boot looks different from Legacy boot from Mac from arm, etc…)

What type of machine are you trying to image?

What have you tried?

@JJ-Fullmer @edvandro This should be fixed in dev-branch as well, but I agree with JJ here, please upgrade to working-1.6.

@jmeyer Would you be willing/able to try again without bypassing it to help confirm the fix?
@rogersk4132 thank you for testing and confirming!

@astrugatch Okay thanks and sorry there was that issue.

Can you pull and try installing again?

Thank you!

@maxcarpone I would ask you, if you’re daring/willing (it’s considered beta but uses the same pipeline with a lot more modern ui, I need people testing, and Fog_newb can likely attest the new ui look and feel though I think they ran into an issue and needed to get functional right away so the snapshotted back)

Upgrade to working-1.6.

I have a goal (along with @JJ-Fullmer ) to try to get working-1.6 to be master/stable branch by October.

1.6 has been “stagnant” since around 2017 and was in relatively stable grounds back then even.

With AI (as you undoubtly can see I’m using to help drive some things) it’s allowed us to get a lot more coding/refactoring and will hopefully present a much better experience of things on the UI side. Without testing I cannot fix UI bugs though.

AI can do some cool things, but it doesn’t know what “wrong/right” looks like, and JJ and I are only 2 people.

There are others on working-1.6 but more feedback is always good.

Thank you Tom, I got updated to Working-1.6beta.4105 and that issue is fixed. Not sure if it is just this particular install or not.

Some Issues I am noticing is Host registration is not showing up whether from the fog menu or the client. I can see it is trying but does not appear to be writing to sql.

Deployment: Getting invalid mac errors it seems on all devices. The task seems to be populating alright.

No viable macs to use

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom. 1.5.10.2344 seems to be capturing fine. No additional null tasks were created and the PC had no problem checking in and starting the capture.

I’d swear, not only with this version but the earlier ones that were malfunctioning during check in and creating additional tasks, I had to create the task twice. Like I went through the process of setting up a capture but nothing showed up under tasks then had to do it again.

I can’t seem to duplicate it though. Setting up a 2nd capture for the laptop, I only had to do it once (and no additional null tasks were created).

PC finished the capture no problem and laptop checked in and is capturing now. Looks like 2344 did it!

Thanks again.

Resolved. I’m sharing FOG with as many people as I can. Love this project!

And I can’t add any hosts—whether via the web interface or by booting over the network—; ultimately, the new host doesn’t appear in the database…

Just fyi, I resolved my issues with this by turning off DMA protection in the bios/uefi.

@Tom-Elliott I did update to version 1.6.2254 and the first multicast that worked was the first one I tried after the upgrade. This second one is now hanging like the one that prompted this thread.

Where in the logs can I find any clues?

Encountered the same issue, version: 1.5.10

I can successfully capture the image and then see the size of it in the web panel but then it’s not being moved to /images/ by fog. Requiring me to move them manually which works but I’m kinda concerned.

FTP works fine even though I am afraid I don’t understand why I need FTP to move some files inside a directory on a singular server.

@Tom-Elliott thanks Tom - using the excellent fog-docker from 88fingerslukee - so will wait to hear his response

@Strahd Have you been able to make progress?

@Tom-Elliott
The fix worked perfectly! The menu issue is now resolved.

Thanks for the support!

@Tom-Elliott Hi! I updated my FOG server to latest beta-branch version: 1.6.0-beta.3197. I also updated my storage node to 1.6.0-beta.3197. This fixed the invalid path issue I was having. Thank you for the help!

@Tom-Elliott Tom, looks like everything has been resolved after going from 2144 to 1.5.10.2218! No errors and I was able to capture no problem. Thanks
