You can see my tutorial on using Secure boot with Shim, and my thoughts on what 2.0 means for Secure Boot with FOG here: http://forums.fogproject.org/post/158170

I’m having three related issues:

GET /fog/system/info works fine (returns version and success).

All authenticated routes (like /fog/host or /fog/image) return 403 Forbidden.

API and User tokens are both enabled and verified in the database.

The same API requests work on my production FOG 1.5.10 instance.

The main difference is that this new install uses PHP-FPM (proxy_fcgi) instead of mod_php.

Is there any required Apache config (e.g. header forwarding) for FastCGI so the fog-api-token and fog-user-token headers are passed correctly?

In 1.6, the global API token looks base64 encoded in the web UI, while user tokens look like the old raw hex format.

Are tokens now stored or displayed differently in this version?

Should API requests use the displayed (encoded) token or the raw decoded value?

On the web GUI, I can’t change any values under FOG Configuration → FOG Settings. All values seem hard-coded.

Is this a known issue in the 1.6 beta, or could it be a permissions problem?

Any guidance or clarification from the developers or anyone else using the 1.6 beta would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’m running FOG 1.5.10 and have set up a global postdownload script at /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload. The script sends a Slack notification via webhook when a deploy finishes.

The script is configured in the database (FOG_POST_DOWNLOAD_SCRIPT), and the file has correct executable permissions.

However, the script is not being executed automatically after deploy, even though deploys complete successfully and show in the Active Tasks list.

I have tried:

Adding debug logs inside the script writing to /tmp/fog-post.log (only updates when running manually).

Watching the PXE client console during deploy but don’t see any message about using the postdownload script.

Confirming the global postdownload path is set correctly in the database.

Verifying that no “Post Download Script” option exists per image in the web UI.

What I need:

Clear steps or checklist to verify why the postdownload script is not running automatically.

How to confirm if the postdownload script is actually called by FOG after deploy.

If there is any additional configuration required in FOG 1.5.10 to enable postdownload scripts.

How to properly debug this issue (logs to check, commands to run).

Any known issues or tips specific to FOG 1.5.10 regarding postdownload scripts.

Thank you for your he

Thanks again.

I have batches of Ubuntu machines that I multicast image. I have a bash script in the image that essentially prefigures the machine but it currently need to be run manually as it require two user inputs unique to each machine.

The reason I wanted the IP of each machine was so I could write a script to SSH into each machine from my PC, run the script and populate the unique inputs from a CSV.

It’s not so clear to me the limitations of snap-ins - is this a correct use case?

For instance, hostname --fqdn gives an error “hostname: unrecognized option ‘–fqdn’ BusyBox v1.31.1” so I changed to ‘hostname -f’.

I was able to get pass the original MySQL errors using your advice, and using the fogstorage account instead. Running both scripts on ubuntu still stops without reason at “checking hostname/domain configurations”. When I run it on FOG (As a postdownloadscript), and it runs after cloning the image,it stops at :
“Check Mysql Configuration: Done
Check FOG Mysql Database Status: Done
Checking hostname/domain configurations *Rebooting system as task is completed”
Reboot: restarting system

but upon reboot, I have the same hostname I myself set prior to capturing the image. Fog has a different hostname set to the MAC that I never changed, so if the script worked my hostname should reflect what FOG has.

IT never makes it to the next part which should say “updating /etc/hostname” nor saying “Done” or “host not found in fog database”. So I am thinking it’s stuck at these lines:

Final Update
I got it to work!
As first mentioned, I had to update the syntax as it’s been over 7 years since the code was written by OP (ch3i). The update that crashed the above code was :

To get it to work I swapped it to :

I learned thru google there was a change (systemd?) that made ls /sys/class/net not use ETH anymore, rather showing something like “enp0s31f6” which is the same as ETH0, but showing the exact location. The code was looking for ETH so just removing that line fixed it.

Now that it works, I feel I can turn the code into a snap-in or post-download script.

I did what you suggested (stopped FOG services on client, moved \pl folder to other place and restarted the PC) and after that FOG Client become english-speaking.

English notifications look a way better than with mixed languages.

Thank you!

And… and !!! I finally migrated, well actually, I made a new FOG server from scratch using only the ltsc.conf from the previous FOG server . I installed Ubuntu Server 22.04.1 fresh in Virtual Station on a NAS, (QNAP TS-451+), latest dev branch with the new inits built in, and was able to capture and deploy from/to 4 home computers no problem. I wish I still had older images and more things to test with.

I love this NAS especially since it was given to me. I dropped in 16GB of RAM (from 2) and got cray stupid -configuring all the drives in a RAID 0 stripe, hey I live on the edge😂 , I can’t believe this thing is running a couple VMs no problem on that Celeron CPU.
