    Hello, we are currently planning to use fog at our facility

    a fog master in the data center
    and one storage node at 23 locations for image rollout and snapin distribution

    For this we would need a precise procedure with the configuration

    Operation should only take place from the master in the data center

    The 23 locations can contain different images or snapins

    We would be very grateful for quick and uncomplicated help.

      @xsibit666 We don’t have a specific procedure per say:

      https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/management/web/storage-node/

      shows you how this can be done. In high level at least.

      What can you use:
      https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Location_Plugin

      While the documentation is outdated, it’s relatively unchanged from version to version beyond keeping operationally.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        @Tom-Elliott Hi, thanks for the fast reply,
        Can I monitor whether the client in the location also gets its data from the storage node in the location

          What you will need to do will require some custom configuration and currently there is no step by step guide as i will not have time to write one for you but here is an overview and you can use google and this forum to direct you in the correct direction.

          First you must use the locations plugin as explained in the previous post.

          Than a great tutorial George1421 wrote up will get you used to injecting custom modules
          https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/14278/creating-custom-hostname-default-for-fog-man-reg

          I used this to create a custom custom script to attach my devices to specific locations based on IP address, so that way when they register using either quick or manual reg they automatically get assigned to the correct location and thus will pull from the correct server and have the specified hostname i use LOC-SERVICETAG

          Then if you done make use of different images or dont want to fill in the manual reg questions all the time you can edit the files and prefil data or take out questions you dont need to answer.

          If you spend a few days you can have a super easy to use system like i have. All i need to do is boot an unregistered system into PXE and it will auto assign hostname, location, image and groups and schedule it for image. After registration it reboots and starts imaging. Then i have the AD defaults pre programmed so the device joins the appropriate domain and OU for that location.

          Hope this helps get you going the software is really great but does take some time to get setup correctly where you can image with ease.

              @Tom-Elliott Is there a way to check the synchronization status of the storage nodes with the master node on the webpage?
