I have just migrated a Fog from one server to another and I noticed 2 small problems on this page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG#Arranging_Images

The following command generates 2 messages :

root@fogserver:~# mv /images/dev/* /images
mv: Cannot move '/images/dev/dev' to '/images/dev': The folder is not empty.
mv: Cannot move '/images/dev/postdownloadscripts' to '/images/postdownloadscripts': The folder is not empty.

I don’t think it’s serious, is it?

But this one is more annoying:

root@fogserver:~# chown -R fog:root /images
chown: incorrect user: " fog:root ".

The fog user does not exist, it is fogproject. So I replaced by this command:

chown -R fogproject:root /images

Thanks for this amazing project !

@sebastian-roth Too late it doesn’t matter

Finally, I dropped LXC in Proxmox 6 and used a KVM-based VM to virtualize my Fog server.

It works perfectly as it is.

No problem regarding my disappointment. I am especially sorry that I didn’t succeed like a great one

I know many open source projects and I contribute to some of them: PeerTube, OpenStreetMap. I’m very happy to have discovered Fog and to have been able to quickly clone posts and 1 classe. I work in a French school with limited IT resources.

So, to answer your question, I followed a tutorial from the forum.

I started to disable apparmor on my container with :

 Edit the container configuration file and add the line lxc.aa_profile: unconfined.
 On Proxmox the configuration file is located at /etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf, where CTID is the ID number of the container.

and I restarted container and the script but not better.

Then I did step 2 of this page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Installation#LXC but no better.

I also tried to enable NFS in the options. Anyway, I think I did everything but I wonder if I did some things wrong.

So, what do you advise me for FOG on Proxmox 6.3-2? Maybe I’ll have to start from scratch… and focus on one action, but which one? and how do you know if the NFS server is running without having to restart the script?

Thanks for your help!

Hello @smoblikat

I couldn’t get FOG to work in an LXC container, I’m still coming across a server NFS problem.
Here is the error in the FOG install logs:

I found a few tips on the forums but none of them worked. I’m trying to install FOG 1.5.9 on Proxmox 6.3-2 and Debian 10.

What do you recommend? I’m a bit disappointed
Thanks for your answers and happy holidays.

@george1421 Fine, thanks for your quick response !

FOG is a fabulous project

Hi !

I did not find a recent answer to my question.

It’s quite simple, I wanted to know if Fog was fully compatible with the Proxmox 6.3 virtualization solution?
It would make maintenance easier for me.

Thank you for your answers.
