  When I inspect the page and go tot he network tab hit refresh @
  https://10.33.250.5/fog/management/

  It gets a server 500 response from /fog/management/
  and the second thing it attempts to load is favicon.ico which is a 404 error.

  I should give some more specifics.

  This is a first server build on physical hardware.
  Rhel 7
  I utilized the rhel 7 install instructions
  I did not use any specialized command line options when kicking off the bash script to install fog.
  I did disable selinux
  I did disable firewall
  I can access the login page after passing through the ssl error but there is nothing to log into.

  @george1421 i meant to reply to this a long time ago, but here goes.

  testing on deduping of those images has been done. they dedup quite well. the dedup changes affect zstd and pigz compressed images. pigz compressed images actually dedup better, but the the compression and performance are worse. it’s a tradeoff to be evaluated by the individual.

  dedup is only possible with the newer version of partclone due to a rolling checksum integraed into the image format on earlier versions. the newer version lets us choose no checksum.

  the compressed binary file is dedupable thanks to the --rsyncable flag on compression that is supported by both pigz and zstd.

  like george said, any deduping would be the responsibility of the underlying filesystem or storage, not built into fog itself.

  @sebastian-roth said in RHEL 8, CentOS 8, master branch, July 22, 2021:

  sed -i -e 's/dnf check-update/dnf -y check-update/g' /path/to/fogproject/lib/redhat/config.

  Not sure if you saw that I edited my initial post. That sed command should take care of the issue that is causing master to fail. Find the related commit that fixed the issue in dev-branch here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/90caf2367d21d0594b7f16b2813a2fa94684ad78

  @alomarh Well it depends on what version of linux you are using. This appears to be RHEL compatible OS.

  You can restrict the NFS server in FOG to limit access to a specific subnet range. You can do this without the need of a firewall. Look at the /etc/exports file. In the share line it starts with a star ( * ) replace that with the subnet range you want to share to. Look up nfs and exports for the exact syntax. Its hard to limit NFS to a single port range. You can do it, but you will need to make some configuration changes. NFSv4 is the way to go, but FOG is not there yet. I did experiment with it and it works with a few changes to the FOG server and FOS Linux.

  @vtl.victor I am not saying it’s impossible to do. It just needs work and we don’t seem to find the time to work on this. Your quickest way to achieve what you want is capture/deploy an image at your FOG network site. Don’t let the deployed host boot into the OS (add kernel parameter shutdown=1 to that host). Then boot that same host up with Clonezilla (for example) and for taking a backup that can be deployed at an offline site on USB - no FOG server needed there - just the Clonezilla boot media and image on portable drive. (cross references: 1, 2, 3)

  If that’s not what you want you need to dive into the details. Just quoting Junkhacker’s postfrom another topic here:

  FOG image capture and deploy are multi-step processes. each are several commands that rely on scripts and programs in the FOG OS (FOS) and change based on what options you have selected. FOG images are not designed to be used stand alone. Using FOG images without a FOG server will require steps that were expected to be automated and there really isn’t a quick way around it.

  So if you or anyone else is keen, you want to start looking at the commands to do this here:

  Clear old partition table: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh#L2012 Apply new partition table: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh#L2041 Loop to do the restore: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh#L2376 Finally call partclone deploy the image files one by one: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh#L760 Restore UUID information: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/partition-funcs.sh#L25 Possibly more things I have missed…

  And that’s just the simple case without resizing partitions!

  It’s all open source, it’s all yours!

  @londonfog Just wondering out loud but if that python script can hit the FOG API, and register that new host and then select image deploy when the target computer boots up for the first time and it pxe boots, it will boot right into imaging. So if you already have the image defined, then you would create one curl api call to register the new server’s name and mac address with fog, then a second curl api call to deploy your image.

  @sebastian-roth thanks for the information. Since everything else is running fine there has been no need to try the dev-branch. It’s good to know that it will be included in the next release.

  What exactly have you tried and what was the outcome/error?

  Just a quick note: FOG is made up of several open source tools to also allow for wiping disks. BUT we only provide those tools and have no share in them producing any kind of report or proof for you. So we probably won’t be able to help you with that point.

  @george1421 @Sebastian-Roth I just wanted to let you know that I moved to snapins and never regreted it for one second
  It is indeed much more flexible and involves way less maintenance on FOG updates.

  Thanks again!

  @brakcounty said in Quick question about the tftp/ftp credentials:

  The web ui login username is still fog and a password I set.

  That is correct. Those are two different things. The web UI user has nothing to do with the fogproject service account (Linux).
