Hi,

We are trying to use WOL brodcast in a multiple VLAN structure.
Is there a way to link one WOL Broadcast to a group of computers ?

Hi there,

In the fog wen interface, we have 2 hours of lag between our local time, and the time show for the tasks.

Even if the dashboard shown the good time.

It should be starttime 15:05:08 instead of 13:05:08

Any ideas ? I don’t see anything about time settings in fog settings.

@george1421 I am looking for a way to easely clone (for backup) the data on several PIs

@george1421 Really thank you @george1421 for this long answer.
I think i will try another way to autoinstall my PIs until FOG pi better integration.

Hi there,

I am interrested of this possibility to install and clone Raspberry PI with FOG.

Did you achieve this project ?

@sebastian-roth said in Installation of FOG with external MySQL base:

DB root user.

Do you mean we can’t have a priviledge root user with another name to access our external database ? For example we would like to use theboss instead of root as this priviledge user already exists.

Do we need to add our external database parameters befoer lanuching the installation in /etc/my.cnf ?

Hi,

We are trying to install FOG with an external MySQL base.

We tried this command :

snmysqlhost=‘192168.1.1’ snmysqluser=‘mypriviledgeusername’
./installfog.sh

But we also need to specify our database name, how could we do that during this installation ?

@sebastian-roth Hey thanks a lot, it worked!

Hi,

We re trying to autoinstall Ubuntu 20.04 with FOG.

Our iPXE parameters are :

kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/20.04.01.LTS/linux
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/20.04.01.LTS/initrd.gz
imgargs linux auto=true root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/ubuntu/20.04.01.LTS/ locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=fr debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated_ssl=true url=http://${fog-ip}/preseed/preseed.cfg splash ip=dhcp rw
boot || goto MENU

The system is booting, but when trying to get the preseed file in the debian-installer, we have an error about FOG CA-CERT as we have installed FOG with the HTTPS option.
In the debian-installer i open a console and execute :
wget http:(or https)//ip_of_my_FOG_server/preseed/preseed.cfg , i also have the error of certificate.

If using :
wget --no-check-certificate http:(or https)//ip_of_my_FOG_server/preseed/preseed.cfg
It is downloading the file.

I thought the option debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated_ssl=true in the imgargs options should correct this, but it is not.

Any idea ?
