Solved Adding NAS Synology like a node
-
@george1421 You don’t need the FOG storage node installer to make storage nodes work, but some functionality (like the available size pie chart) won’t be available. If you have NFS and FTP properly setup you can use the device as storage node pretty much, at least in my experience.

@Tom-Elliott Do you need to install FOG as a storage node on this NAS for it to work using the storage management panels? Or will any NFS device work? My concern is some of the synology nas devices have ARM based CPUs, or Atom based CPUs and the bigger units have x64 based CPUs. The concern is that there may not be the required packages available for that arch.
[Edit] A quick check of the specs show that diskstation to use the Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-212 which is a dual core ARM Cortex A15 based processor. If that has any impact on the decision to use this as a storage node [/Edit]
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!

@Miguel-Palacios To more appropriately handle a NAS as a node, you will need to update to trunk.
Synology NAS in particular has one setting for NFS (/volume1/images) but another setting for FTP (/images).
Updating to trunk we’ve taken this into account.

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

@george1421 Attached you can find the node configuration, the password is the same that the NAS and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD
Thank you.

@ch3i Hi, We tried setting the node following this manuals but we don’t had succesfully…
Where are we failing?
Someone has configured an SYNOLOGY as node?
Thank you!

What does the permissions tab look like?
Also you stated what your synology nas setup has been. What have you done to configure fog server OS to connect to this network share?

@Miguel-Palacios Hi, There is a lot of topic about that and you can follow instructions on the wiki : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=NAS_Storage_Node & https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Use_FOG_with_FreeNAS
Prefer trunk version (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Upgrade_to_trunk) instead 1.2.
