Best way to get to Fog 1.5.10.5 Ubuntu 22.04

Currently running FOG 1.5.9 and Ubuntu 20.4. Tried to update Ubuntu and it did not work. Looking for the best way to do this.

I am thinking
1-Clone the VM
2-Set the IP info up (Found out when you clone a VM it does not keep the IP info)
3-In place update to fog to 1.5.10.5
4- Upgrade Ubuntu

Any recommendations would be appreciated…

@kjmchale I would add a step 5 of rerunning the fog 1.5.10.x installer once again after you upgrade ubuntu. The installer will fix any changes it detects between the two versions of ubuntu.

If it still fails we can debug more. Also remember that FOG web ui doesn’t like it when you change fog server’s IP address after FOG is installed. You can make adjustments to compensate but its just another step you need. to .

Thanks for the advice. Ran into a speed bump along the way. When I was doing step 3 I got an error about PHP 7.4. I upgraded to PHP8.1 and then was able to install the upgrade for Fog. After that I did the Ubuntu upgrade and the system didn’t come up so I followed your advice and re-installed Fog and I am up and running!
