Install FOG on Arch Linux

[dfear]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 33935, member: 7271”]David,

I’m working to include this into SVN so we will, essentially, have support for Redhat/Centos/Mageia/#buntu/Debian etc…

However, the only difference I’m seeing is the addition of the folder arch with config.sh and functions.sh inside. I’ve never installed Arch as I’m more of an LFS fan myself if I’m going to do all that work. Anyway, how are these files called?[/quote]

I’ve added the relevant code for Arch Linux to displayOSChoices() and doOSSpecificIncludes() in lib/common/functions.sh

The relevant commit is #b596753 in my git repo.

Is it supposed to be 2 or 3?

[Tom Elliott]

I already added 3.

Can you also get the output of
[code]cat /etc/release issue;
lsb_release[/code]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 33940, member: 7271”]SVN 2099 now contains the changes.

While I don’t have an Arch install to test on, I’m hoping it will work if you’d be willing to test/try?[/quote]

When I can find the time this week I will test out an install on arch and report back.

Thanks. I have also made the change in my git repo.

Cool,

I already added that as a “guess” to how it get’s chosen, so hopefully this will mean it will work for us as well on a “default” basis.

I have tested the install scripts on an Arch Linux Install in Virtualbox. The install script almost got to the end, but failed at: * Starting FOG Multicast Management Server

I think the problem lies somewhere in the systemd service files I wrote.

The install log file is attached.

I have tested the install scripts on a fresh install of Arch Linux in Virtualbox. The install script completes, yeah; but the apache server is not running php files as php scripts; it is displaying them as txt.

The install log file is attached.

Couple of small fixes needed. apache now runs php scripts properly (using php-fpm). See: [url]https://bitbucket.org/david_fear/fog-project/commits/1a490d4b7bea45a21360461516bd45acc0c0e7fb[/url]

svn 2108 and 2109 have your modified config.sh and functions.sh files in the arch directory. Thanks for reporting and helping.

Minor fix needed. Mysqli module now enabled in php.ini file. See: [url]https://bitbucket.org/david_fear/fog-project/commits/bb542601d1e13897e06ffd5e1edf6f4f49a49f9e[/url]

Added to svn, thank you.

Slightly OT: What tools do you use to include my code from my Bitbucket git repo into the Fog svn repo? I found a program called git-svn, is this what you use?

The reason i’m asking is that it has been a while since I last worked on FOG and I would like to update my local & remote git repos with the latest changes from the FOG project svn repo.

[Tom Elliott]

I actually hand mash out the code lines based on your repo, or if there were significant changes (too much for me to accurately type out) I copy the files in place using wget. I could use git-svn but I don’t feel comfortable doing commit’s and the like through my git repo.

You shouldn’t have any issue updating though. Just the normal svn or download install method.

Thanks Tom.

[U]this is my setup:[/U]
sourceforge (SF) svn --> local git --> bitbucket.org git
I first clone from SF svn using git-svn, then add bitbucket repo as a remote, then push files from local git repo to bitbucket. The last thing I do is “git push -u origin master” & “git-svn rebase”.

When I code and test, I work with the local git repo and push changes to the bitbucket repo. Every so often I will get the latest changes from the SF svn repo using “git-svn rebase”.

[U]commands used (to setup working environment):[/U]
git-svn clone -s -rHEAD [url]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code[/url] trunk
git remote add origin [email]git@bitbucket.org[/email]:david_fear/fog-project.git
git push -u origin --all
git push -u origin --tags
git push -u origin master
git-svn rebase

lib/common/input.sh

[U][SIZE=5][B]Good news!!![/B][/SIZE][/U]

[SIZE=4]A part from a couple of minor issues, installation on Arch Linux works!!! [/SIZE]

I have attached the install log from the last test and the only issues that need fixing are:

[CODE] Version: 1.3.0 Installer/Updater

…/lib/common/input.sh: line 46: ifconfig: command not found
…/lib/common/input.sh: line 49: ifconfig: command not found
…/lib/common/input.sh: line 53: ifconfig: command not found
…/lib/common/input.sh: line 56: ifconfig: command not found
…/lib/common/input.sh: line 60: route: command not found
…/lib/common/input.sh: line 63: route: command not found
What version of Linux would you like to run the installation for?[/CODE]

That should fixed by the end of the weekend.

I haven’t tested all possible installation scenarios. I have only tested the one that is shown in the attached install log.
