    I think we need a lot more info.

    Basic steps for NAS as a Node would be:

    Ensure FTP is enabled and you know what username and password will connect to that FTP.

    Ensure NFS is enabled for the location you need. (You will need two entries at least, one for the Main images location and one to upload the images to that must be labeled with dev.

    For example in your case, /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/imagesfog is the “base” location. So you would need a directory structure of:

    /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog
    /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/dev

    Just creating the shares is not enough though. We have tests that happen within the init’s which are there simply to verify we have made a proper connection to the NFS.

    The way the installer automates this for you is:

    mkdir -p /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/{,dev}
    touch /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/.mntcheck
    touch /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/dev/.mntcheck
    chmod 777 -R /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog

    The NFS Config should look something similar to:

    /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
    /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
    

    Now the RC’s of FOG should allow you to customize all the fields, but you will most likely have the inability to see hardware information and/or disk usage information from the GUI as it requires web based files your QNAP will not have.

    Of relevance, most NAS systems allow you to have NFS and FTP, however they way they work is anything but straight forward. FTP, from what I’ve typically seen, is not going to be accessed by /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog but will rather be accessed via /CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog (Notice we’re missing the /share part).

    To allow NAS to be imaged from you would make sure the node is configured within the GUI, but setting the FTPPath to the (most likely) /CACHE_DEV1_DATA, and the main path should still be /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/

    Hopefully this helps you along your journey.

    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)

      How do i know the FTP path on my NAS ? And where can i specify this 2nd path on the fog GUI ?

      I tried on my NAS to manually move my image uploaded on /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/dev/<ADRESSEMAC> to /share/CACHE_DEV1_DATA/imagesfog/imagesNAS(folder specified on the GUI FOG) with this command :

      mv /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/imagesfog/dev/001999547b85/ /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/imagesfog/imagesnas

      and then i could download it correctly.

      I don’t rlly know how the FTP is working to create the folder imagesnas and move the image, but every permissions are allowed on my NAS, and i can correctly connect to the ftp path with the fog user i specified in the GUI interface.

            @Sunks I believe you need a trailing forward slash

            So add a / to the path on the storage node.

            Also, post apache logs if the issue persists after trying this.

                @Sunks Which Ubuntu version is your server running?

                If it’s 14.04 or newer, would you be willing to upgrade FOG to trunk?

                  @Quazz said in QNAP NAS storage:

                  If it’s 14.04 or newer, would you be willing to upgrade FOG to trunk?

                  Yea it’s 14.04. The 1.3 version will help me ? i’m gonna try.

                  Thanks

                    @Quazz I think your nfs and ftp location are differents, like that :

                    ftp : ftp://your_nas/imagesfog/
                    nfs : nfs://your_nas/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/imagesfog/

                    In your version of FOG you can’t specify different path for ftp and nfs; in you screenshot it’s : Image Chemin
                    In the 1.3 you can specify the ftp and nfs path.

                    FYI when you capture or deploy it’s the NFS server of your NAS that is mounted on the client. For the capture the move from /dev/mac_address to the destination folder is assured via FTP.

                    Capture : 1-Capture via NFS --> 1-Move via FTP --> Done
                    Deploy : 1-Deploy via NFS --> Done

                      I will try to upload/deploy with that storage node setting :

                      0_1475484260147_NAS 1.3.PNG

                      By the way, do i have to encrypt my password in the storage node ?

                        Ok it’s now working fin, you can mark this topic as solved.

                        So it was due to the ftp path, i couldn’t specify the correct ftp path in the fog interface 1.2.0.

                        Thanks a lot for your help guys.

                          Got this working over the weekend with QNAP. The NFS shares are slightly different in v4.3.3 of the QNAP software on the TS-231. You don’t have to specify the full local path. Only the shared path location.
