@Sebastian-Roth Thanks that all makes sense.

Thanks Sebastian — from my point of view I could still get rid of TFTP by recognizing either UEFI HTTP Boot (physical hardware) or existing iPXE ROM (in my Nutanix VM) vi DHCP headers (vendor class / user class) and in either case chainload the FOG iPXE binary (with “params” enabled) via HTTP and eventually perhaps HTTPS.

This should be pretty straightforward, I’ll see if I can work it out and I’ll post back - may be worth a wiki article.

Now … the next item to tackle would be replacing FTP (vsftpd) with SFTP

Feel free to close this thread if it’s no longer appropriate as a “feature request”.

@Sebastian-Roth Yes it is working now - thank you !!

Update. I created 2 identical CentOS 7.5 vm’s, configured them 100% identical.

On on I installed fog from the git clone and on the other I used git to checkout working-1.6 and install. All fog installation parameters were exactly the same for both servers.

On the regular git cloned fog installation, everything works as expected.

On the working-1.6, I get the same error as before, after image captured, updating database … failed.

So I agree, something with 1.6

I’m happy to help troubleshoot further. I’ll poke around on my own but if there are some things you would like for me to try I’d be happy to participate.

Thanks !!

@Sebastian-Roth Yes your fix does indeed resolve the issue for me – thank you sir !!!
