      Hi, I’ve had this working since 2012. Basically I have 3 Fogservers, the master where I am based, and 2 others, one about 1/2 hour away and the other an hour away. The 3 sites are connected with IPSec tunnel.
      I upload an image to the local FOgserver and it replicates slowly across the tunnel to the remote sites. Once transferred, I can \ then create an image task for a remote PC. From there I can run a script on the remote PC which forces it to PXE boot and it gets reimaged.
      Maks a couple of customisations and its good to go. HOWEVER, since FOG 1.2 the transfers across the IPSec tunnel have been slower and occasionally stop, which is very frustrating especially since the transfers take over a day to complete!

        How are replication tasks working? Nothing changed directly in how things transfer. The speed or lack of it sounds environmental more than something fog is doing or did.

        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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        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
