@x23piracy yes, I had the exact same problem with mysql passwords. How I fixed it? I don’t know exactly. I went round in so many circles, I stopped taking notes. Then it worked.

I kept resetting the mysql password at every step if the way. I didn’t use a blank password. Hope that helps.

I was hoping to get to the stage, where I could script the whole build process, and then make that public.

@Tom-Elliott I thought that a diskless client, would register with Fog, so that you could decide which image to send it in the future.

@Wayne-Workman working now thanks. I didn’t have a disk drive on my client. I didn’t think is was necessary to register with the host.

I was hoping to run a diskless Linux ISO.

Thanks.

I have made progress. I have FOG 1.3.0 running in a container. It was not easy. The main problem was around mysql, and passwords. I started to document it, but found myself travelling in many circles. I’m not entirely sure how I ended up getting it to work. But I will start again from scratch later.

I can PXE boot, but the clients say:

Cannot find disk on system (getHardDisk)

A compatibility test says:

Network [Pass]
Disk [Fail]

Try using a newer kernel. Fog Configuration -> Kernel Update

If I do that, I get:

Error: Failed to connect to server

FTP is working fine. I checked passwords. Tested, using the wiki guide.
What server is it failing to connect to? FTP logs don’t show anything.

I’m new to Fog, and it looked like a relatively easy setup. It wasn’t.

Incompatibilities with Ubuntu 16.04. I got it partially working in a 12.04 docker container. I gave the container it’s own IP address on the network. But I keep running into problems.

A docker container, with the latest version ready to run would be great.
