HostnameChanger and Ubuntu
-
Thanks guys. I followed @Sebastian-Roth 's advice and make a dhclient-exit.d script that updates /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts based on the hostname given out by DHCP/DNSMASQ.
-
@Jbob any news about a public alpha for the Linux client? I’m looking forward to test the client.

@zefanja I’ve been fairly busy with non-FOG related things lately, but I have another block of available time now so I can work on it more. If you want to see where I’m at / what’s left to do check out our waffle board (which is just a nice representation of our github tickets) filtered by the
cross-platform
milestone: https://waffle.io/FOGProject/fog-client?milestone=cross-platform -
@Jbob Thank you! I’ll follow your progress. If there is anything I can do (testing, …) let me know. Are there any build instructions for Ubuntu / Linux? From the Readme in the Github Repo it looks like you have to have a windows machine. Is that right? Or is it possible just to build the linux client?
-
@zefanja , it would seem I was near completion of 0.10.0 when I stopped a couple months back.
I just need to look over the auto updating code and verify it works, and then it seems like its about release ready.
-
@Jbob That sounds great! I’m really looking forward to test it.
-
@zefanja Just thought I’d let you know that linux auto updating is now working like a charm. Now my work will be to give everything a little polish and double check Mac OS auto updating.
-
@Jbob Wow! Thank you for the update!
-
@Jbob Can’t wait!
If our elementary schools had a Mac OS client installed, half of our tech department wouldn’t have had to rush to re-bind every computer in the school when the Mac Server in that building had to be rebuilt.
They could have just clicked a few buttons and all the Macs in the building would bind to the newly built server…
a minute from one person instead of a day from 15 people.

While it took longer than I would have liked, OSX auto updating is now finished (you can blame Yosemite for the delay).
