    • RE: Script for a backup ?

      Thanks a lot @rodluz !

      I took your script and adapted it. I use it directly on my FOG server, which simplifies things a bit. I also changed the mail to a notification sent to my smartphone with ntfy, which I find easy to use.

      I also mounted my NAS share in NFS directly on /mnt/FOGBackups.

      Here’s my script:

      #!/bin/bash
      
      fogServerAddress="172.X.Y.Z"  # Change to actual FOG server address
      
      backupDate=$(date +"%Y%m%d")
      
      backupDir="/mnt/FOGBackups/$backupDate"
      backupDirImages="/mnt/FOGBackups/images"
      
      snapinLocation="/opt/fog/snapins"
      reportLocation="/var/www/fog/lib/reports"
      imageLocation="/images"
      
      failedBackupDB=0
      failedBackupSnapins=0
      failedBackupReports=0
      failedBackupImages=0
      
      [[ ! -d $backupDir ]] && mkdir -p $backupDir/{mysql,snapins,reports,logs} >/dev/null 2>&1
      [[ ! -d $backupDir/mysql || $backupDir/snapins || $backupDir/reports || $backupDir/logs ]] && mkdir -p $backupDir/{mysql,snapins,reports,logs} >/dev/null 2>&1
      
      backupDB() {
          wget --no-check-certificate --post-data="nojson=1" -O $backupDir/mysql/fog.sql "http://$fogServerAddress/fog/management/export.php?type=sql" 2>>$backupDir/logs/error.log 1>>$backupDir/logs/progress.log 2>&1
          stat=$?

    • Small errors in migration commands

      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 !

    • RE: [Solved] Grub rescue after deploy task

      @Sebastian-Roth you put me on the track!

      The bios was configured in legacy bios first, I switched to uefi first and it works!

      Thank you!

    • RE: Update french translation for Fog 1.5.9

      I have made good progress on the translation of FOG into French.

      There was a lot of work. Currently, I’m trying to translate directly in PoEdit but is there a solution to see my work in FOG, knowing that I installed FOG (dev-branch) on a VM…

      Thanks !

      PS : I should be able to push my file this week…

    • RE: FOG Project call for engagement

      @lemeunier said in FOG Project call for engagement:

      PS: j’ai la flemme de traduire ça en anglais…

      Pourtant, cela prend 3 s avec https://www.deepl.com/translator

      Hello Sebastian, Hello Tom

      First of all, I would like to salute your work which is very helpful for us on a regional scale (Hauts-de-France, France).
      The development of FogProject systems is unquestionably irreproachable and indispensable for large structures such as ours.

      Have you thought about switching to a business model geared towards professionals, like WAPT?
      We would be delighted to collaborate with you in this context, and this would allow you to recruit developers in a paid way.

      Best regards.

    • RE: Following a migration, character encoding issue

      @Tom-Elliott

      Great news!

      I updated my server to Debian Bookworm, restarted the Fog installation, and the accent problem disappeared. Awesome!

      Thanks for your help and happy new year 2026, all the best for the FOG project!

    • RE: Translate the FOG project website

      @wayne-workman The Google translation of technical project is just awful. Deepl gives much better results.

      Besides, I hardly ever use Google and even less Google Chrome 😉

      I’m waiting for Tom’s answer 🙂
