    Hey guys, I know some people were trying to install FOG on a raspberry pi a while back, I don’t know how that went, but the latest stable release says it has native support for Raspbian, has anyone attempted FOG 1.4 yet? if so has it worked well?

      First of all I have to say the Raspberry Pi platform is not supported at all. There are other/better hardware platforms that could and should be used for FOG.

      With that said, what was updated/fixed/changed was to the fog installer to not throw a fit when someone tries to install FOG on a Raspberry Pi. The installer should run to completion without issue now. And yet FOG is still not supported.

      The “fix” code for the installer came from this document: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8642/installing-a-bit-of-fog-pi-the-hackish-way

      With that said, the Pi3 does deploy very well for 1 or 2 unicast imaging streams. Much more and the processor starts work a bit hard. You want to use a Pi3 with a fast micro sd card over a Pi2 or earlier since the Pi3 has a GbE network interface. You can use a Pi2b without issue, just realize you won’t get 6Gb/min deployment speeds.

      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!

        @george1421 recently Tom added Rasbian to the official list in the fog installer, so it’s supported now.

          @Wayne-Workman There was a caveat. The installer will successfully run to completion now, but raspbian is not an “officially” supported platform. But if you need a solar powered deployment server, a FOG-Pi server will surely fit the bill.

          That is of course until raspbian is tested nightly against the FOG build of the day.

            @george1421 I’ve actually looked into this - I have to emulate ARM on x86_64. I’ve found one good article on it for the platform I use, KVM + libvirtd + virt-manager
