is the drive encrypted?

@PITSKing fog pulls that information from the database, not the files. if you recreate the “profiles” for the images and point them to the existing files, they should work.

@Fernando-Gietz We use icinga for all of our servers, but for monitoring a single server in detail like this i like monitorix. you just choose what services you want to monitor and you get feedback screens like this https://www.monitorix.org/imgs/mysql.png and https://www.monitorix.org/imgs/apache.png

@Qyjong FOG image capture and deploy are multi-step processes. each are several commands that rely on scripts and programs in the FOG OS (FOS) and change based on what options you have selected. FOG images are not designed to be used stand alone. Using FOG images without a FOG server will require steps that were expected to be automated and there really isn’t a quick way around it.

@Qyjong FOG uses partclone, just like Clonezilla. but FOG does a lot of stuff that Clonezilla doesn’t. our images are technically compatible though.

FOG automatically resizes partitions and makes sure that data needed to boot is set correctly. but if you want, you can:
manually create/size your destination partitions
pipe your image through the appropriate decompressor (gzip or zstd) into partclone to deploy them
resize the filesystems if needed.
with any luck, it will boot without any extra steps.

@sjensen if it doesn’t exactly match, it should work at least as a rough guide on what you need to do to expand your LVM

@NivMizzet i can’t say i’ve ever tried using fog with Windows CE, but in theory there’s no reason it shouldn’t work. what kinds of errors are you seeing?

@anhphuong all assigned to that host. i agree that being able to select what snapins you want at the time of deploy would be nice, but the logic is tricky and there hasn’t been a lot of demand for it.
