Never mind, I renamed the file /opt/fog/.fogsettings and runned the installer again with ssl enabled. It’s working just fine.
Probem solved, this topic can be closed.

Hey guys,

I installed the location plugin and made sure all needed ports are accessible through the firewall.
Now when I want to check out the hardware information of the storage node from my main server, the following error appears:

When entering https://[ip-address]/fog/status in my browser I get the same thing:

When entering http://[ip-address]/fog/status I get this:

So I guess my main server is trying to use https but should use http (or the node should offer https as well). How can I change this?

@george1421 Thanks alot for the quick response!

Great, I will make sure all needed ports are free, install the location plugin and try if everything works.

As for the menu, I understand it’s not plug and play. I guess I’ll only go for it if absolutely necessary. Probably I’ll be fine without that level of configuration for now and might try this later on in a test environment.

Hello everyone,

I’ve got the following problem:

I am running a FOG main Server in subnet 1.
Now I want to install a storage node in subnet 2 (basically a NAS on which a Linux VM is running).
Those subnets are connected Site to Site over WAN (different locations).

My plan: I will upload images to the main server in subnet 1. Then I want to copy the desired images to the storage node in subnet 2 over WAN.
Clients in subnet 1 will PXE-boot to the main server as always and get their images from there as well.
Clients in subnet 2 should PXE-boot to the storage node and get their images from the storage node only as I don’t want to deploy over WAN.

What I already got:

• I installed the storage node with the installation script (option s)
• I entered the IP-address of the main server when asked where the database is hosted
• Firewall allows port 22 from main to node (for pushing the image) and 3306 from node to main (for connecting to the database)
• dnsmasq is running on the node-server to provide dhcp and to get the clients to PXE-boot to the node
• I added the storage node via web interface of the main server

1. At the moment I am copying the images with rsync (manually or cronjob). Is there a way to copy images via the web GUI of the main server?
2. At the moment the storage node is not visible in the dashboard (storage node disk usage) although Graph Enabled (On Dashboard) is enabled. Do I need more ports open so that the main server can reach and get information from the node?
3. How can I configure the node so that clients pull their images from the node only? At the moment they seem to try reaching the main server.
4. Is there a way to configure the PXE menu which is shown there independently from the main server menu?

Thanks in advance for any kind of advice!
