Fog update
-
Fog Server
- FOG Version: 1.2.0
- OS: Ubuntu
Can I do a FOG upgrade over the top of the one there now?
-
@John-Johnson what version of Ubuntu?
-
This goes hand in hand with Joe’s question.
If you are using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 or 16.04 then the path is here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk if you are running anything before 14.04 you are better off to spin up a new ubuntu server with one of the stated (and supported) OS versions.

@george1421 It is 14.04 but I intend to update that too. Thanks for the link.

@Joe-Schmitt 14.04

Don’t. It’ll be a disaster. I don’t know of anybody who has successfully updated Ubuntu without screwing up fog. I cannot tell you how many threads we have here where someone upgraded Ubuntu to the next version and all kinds of weirdness and instability and non-functioning happened. And it’s always guesswork about what happened, and it’s painfully slow to troubleshoot, and often faster to nuke and repave - and do it right. I strongly recommend against upgrading the OS.
If you want a newer OS, backup your images and database, sit aside the old FOG Server’s HDD, put in a new one, build from scratch, install fog 1.3.0 RC, and then import your images and database.

@Wayne-Workman Thank you. Good to know. You saved me lots of headaches.

@Wayne-Workman Hell, whenever I try to upgrade Ubuntu even Ubuntu gets messed up and I need to spend time to fix it.
