      I am trying to install fog on my Ubuntu server at the end of the fog installation I receive an error
      “Downloading Kernel, init and fog-client binaries … Could not download init.xz properly”

        @Gcostiou For installation your FOG server needs internet access and to be able to resolve DNS names like www.fogproject.org for the installation to work. Its failing to download the recompiled binaries from the github repo.

        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!

            Do you have a on-prem proxy server that you need to configure your browsers to use?

              we are a school establishment so yes we have a proxy we called what manages the network because in fact the binaries want to be downloaded directly and do not go through the proxy so this does not work we had to open the connection with the IP from the machine directly.

              And with this we managed to solve the problem

                  Should be no proxy server needed.
                  I have reached out to Securly to see if they can open the connection from the IP Address directly like the previous user mentioned.
                  I will let you know what happens.

                    I’m not sure of your question but I have installed fog from zip without internet (I am also behind a firewall) by using the -X (–exitFail Do not exit if item fails").
                    Then I downloaded them with other computer and have copied them in the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ directory with winscp (using home as intermediate directory and then puting back rights and owner)
                    Yet I had all packages needed to run fog already installed.

                      @Gcostiou Ok if you solved the problem then its done. Just be aware that you can get fog installer to work through a proxy server if needed. By default the fog installer doesn’t know about the company firewall.
