@processor the first 2 can be done by just setting up storage nodes at each site. the 3rd one, makes the whole thing complicated though.

@bigjim i’m betting that the init file didn’t download correctly. you can update it manually or the easiset fix would be to try running the installer again

@vpt i know that there are a few forum posts on how to do it as well, if you haven’t searched, like this one for example https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8668/qnap-nas-storage/18

@vpt pretty much. although, if the QNAP device supports both NFS and FTP, it can be set up as it’s own storage node instead of mounting it on the fog server

@vpt fog uses /images as an NFS share, it is not supported to share out an NFS share that is a mounted NFS share

@cmurray139 the default fog ipxe boot files load /tftpboot/default.ipxe on your server. this is a ipxe boot script file that has the address of your fog server in it. this file can be customized if you like (i use a customized one to direct certain computers to my dev fog server instead of the production one, for example). make backups of your changes, this file is overwritten whenever you perform an upgrade of fog.

@Spark for the
Windows VM, (someone feel free to correct me if i’m wrong on these specs)
80GB HD, 1 CPU, 4GB ram

for the Fog server, you’ll probably want at least enough room to store 3 images (remember that when you replace an existing image, both old and new exist at the same time on the server for a short time) so
200GB HD, 1 CPU, and at least 512MB ram

@Qweeqweg the change from using an account named “fog” to an account named “fogproject” is recent. in spite of directions, people kept creating and using an account named “fog” as their user account when setting up the server.

@Qweeqweg that account is used for ftp access by fog. it was created during the install process.

@cmurray139 i’m not sure. I don’t have much experience with devices that don’t have Ethernet built in. if you search the forums, you might find someone who’s already solved the problem though.
