      Since I am new to fog, I need your assistance in understanding imaging part.

      I have customized Ubuntu 16.04 desktop created in KVM. The name of image is ubuntu-16.04.img. I want to install this image to my other VMs using fog.

      For testing, I copied this image file to /images folder as ubuntu-16.04 and created new image from console, but I am running into problem here. The size of disk on server is showing 0.

      Now I am not sure if I am doing it correctly. If I am making mistakes, can somebody please guide me in process?

      Is it also possible to use dm-crypt/LUKS for software encryption? If yes, can you tell me how to do it?

      Thanks,

        @unltdlove2u How did you create that ubuntu-16.04.img in the first place? Sounds to me as if this is just your KVM image file, right? Well with FOG the steps to create an image is: register the machine (as well KVM should work if all network and DHCP is setup properly), schedule a capture/upload task and let the client upload its disk contents.

        What you are asking for is a way to convert your KVM disk image into a FOG image. Might be possible but it’s not supported. Search the forum for convert vmdk and such VM disks. I think some people have done it but it’s probably a lot of work and I am not sure it’s worth it.

        For dm-crypt/LUKS you need to let FOG do a sector by sector copy (also called dd) as it can’t read the encrypted filesystem stuff. The FOG image will be very big as it contains unused sectors as well.

        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)

        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG
