    @diogo-seabra As for the picture, I think we need to clearly define your network.

    dnsmasq works by using broadcast messages. So that means dnsmasq will only work on the local subnet. If your pxe booting computers are on a different subnet then you will need to add the fog server’s IP address to the list in the dhcp relay service on your router.

    Also if you have dhcp snooping enabled on your network switches, that may also cause dnsmasq to not respond properly.

    By “10.149.50.21:/images” I was referring to the “images” directory in the filesystem on the storage node at the IP address 10.148.50.21

    So to check the actual contents of the “/images” directory, you’ll need to either:

    1 - have a display and keyboard directly connected to that storage node (PC) to log into it and view the filesystem with whatever File Explorer type app its GUI desktop supplies OR

    2 - open a terminal / command line on that storage node PC, either at a display/keyboard connected to the storage PC or across the network with SSH.

    In any case, the contents of the storage node’s /images directory should be (mostly) subdirectories that are named exactly the same as your saved/captured images.

    Example:

    If you intended to capture an image called “Teacher_Pc”, the storage node’s /images directory should contain a subdirectory named “Teacher_Pc”

    In my case, I have captured an image I named “20250319-7010-adult-builder”. Here is a truncated directory listing on one of my storage nodes:

    root@node25-0:/images# ll total 140 drwxrwxr-x 32 fogproject fogproject 4096 Aug 12 11:19 ./ drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Aug 12 09:33 ../ drwxrwxr-x 2 fogproject fogproject 4096 Jul 31 10:05 20250319-7010-adult-builder/ drwxrwxr-x 2 fogproject fogproject 4096 Jul 31 10:06 20250327-7010-deploy-test/

    If somehow you have managed to get the image name (directory name) to be “, Image name Teacher_Pc” then I’ll not be surprised if parsing (text handling) errors happen within FOG when you try to use that image name. In that case, the directory can be renamed to “Teacher_Pc”, BUT that directory name must match in one field recorded in the fog database on the FOG server.

    Let’s see what you’ve got in the “/images” directory first.

    @Selanty
    I have the same problem, fresh installed Fog on Debain 12, PHP 8.2.29, Fog 1.5.10.1667.
    Fog-Server is running on the same switch as the 2 Clients in one VLAN 2765. For that VLAN ip igmp is enabled.
    “sh ip igmp” on that aruba switch shows:
    -IGMP version : 2
    -Querier Address : 10.73.65.21 (vlan-address of a second switch witch plays as querier)
    -the querier ist running igmp v2

    “service FOGMulticastManager status” result is:
    PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Non-static method FOGService::outall() cannot be called statically in /opt/fog/service/FOGMulticastManager/FOG>

    unicast to that 2 clients is running.

    Hi, just wondering if you were able to find a fix for this. Right now I’m experiencing a similiar issue when in the ipxe menu for Fog. No keyboard input works.

    I have done this before on a Cisco switch but it’s been a while. Thought I share my notes on what commands are needed

    # Vlan131 (fog server vlan) ip helper-address 192.168.158.255 # Vlan158 (fog client on a different vlan) ip directed-broadcast 101 # ip access-list extended 101 access-list 101 permit udp host 192.168.131.149 any eq 9 * NOTE in the ACL above 192.168.131.149 is the fog server ip address # forward udp ip forward protocol udp 9 (it might say discard) # On the switch the two vlans look something like this interface Vlan131 description fog server vlan ip address 192.168.131.1 255.255.255.0 ip helper-address 192.168.131.3 (my dhcp & dns server) ip helper-address 192.168.158.255 (fog client subnet broadcast address) end interface Vlan158 description fog client vlan ip address 192.168.158.1 255.255.255.0 ip directed-broadcast 101 (extended ACL) end

    Hope it helps

    Thanks @george1421,
    I haven’t setup Fog yet so was looking for a step by step guide to getting it installed and configured.

    I’ve gotten a very similar set up to what you want and have tried working.

    You’ll need to either rebuild the FOG version of iPXE with the shim command enabled or use a stock version of iPXE with the default.ipxe script replaced with an autoexec.ipxe script (I haven’t tested this so you mileage may vary). Once you’ve done that you can just sign your iPXE binary with your sec boot key, and save it as grubx64.efi (or see this Shim Issue or this part of the foguefi install script if you use Dell PCs.)

    Finally now when you netboot, provided you also have mokmanager (mmx64.efi) in the same folder, you’ll be prompted to install your secboot key and on next boot you’ll be able to boot. iPXE with secure boot on. You will also need to sign you bzImage etc and then modify your default.ipxe script to load the shim with the shim command, and then you’ll be able to boot into fog fully!

    If anyone wants I can put together a more coherent guide and I’m happy to answer any questions you have on this.

    I still get this error when I try to Create a New Image:
    This page isn’t working
    10.149.50.21 is currently unable to handle this request.
    HTTP ERROR 500

    Web searches says this is a server provider issue. Is there something in Fog Project that can be checked for me?

    Hi @Tom-Elliott,

    Currently both nodes are in the same storage group as I want to replicate images and snapins from the Master to the Normal storage Node. I read through some documentation and it seems this should still happen if they are in different storage groups. Is this true?

    If so, I believe this second issue should be fixed.

    @uzee FOG doesn’t change or really step into the target system during deployment. You CAN do this if you write a post install script that will get called once the target image is deployed to the target computer. In the case of a linux computer you could potentially set the target computer’s name here by updating the /etc/hostname file or anything else you can do with a bash script. The FOG Client can also be configured to make changes to the target computer or install applications based on instructions from the fog server. Its really identifying what you want to do and how much automation you want to script. Its all possible with FOG and a little creativity on your end. Since you already know Ubuntu (linux) bending FOG to what you want will be easier than coming strictly from a MS Windows background.

    I was not able to figure out capturing the image from a VM, I decided to use an actual desktop as the master/golden image. It made more sense as it would include the right hardware type, drivers, etc. I have captured the image finally. Now on to deployment

    I’m having the exact same behavior.
    Was working on the 27, 28 and 29.

    Stopped working start of this week (2 september)
    Added 3 storage nodes in between.
