@Tom-Elliott but I fond something here in the forum and I was wondering if this are the steps i should do to make it works:

Install of fog with the “-S” option to activate SSL

Copy of the certificate and the private key on the machine

Edit the Vhost file with the path of the private key and the certificate (with a restart of Apache2)

Modify the CA by default in the directories /etc/apache2/ssl/CA/ and /opt/fog/snapins/ssl/CA/ with our own CA

Execute the script buildipxe.sh from the directory /path/to/fogproject_git_repo/utils/FOGiPXE/

And finally, copy the new binaries from /path/to/fogproject_git_repo/packages/tftp to /tftpboot

@Tom-Elliott two fils in it
First one foginstall.log

Second one fog_error_1.5.7.log

@Sebastian-Roth after reinstalling the server with -S -C -K this is the output. It failed to activate iPXE sll

This is on web (yes I put my user in the place of the ip)

@Sebastian-Roth may be ./rebuildpxe made some changes . Actually I’ll reinstall the server again with the options -S -K -C and will give it a try again.
I’m at the beginning of setup a new server FOG and there is no problem to reinstall it

@Sebastian-Roth the errors you see are from when I tried also to use ./buildpxe but not worked

@Sebastian-Roth I installed fog with options -S -K -C!
And now it is like this on boot.
It’s working fine with http

@george1421 thanks. I’ll do that today and will post the results.
Could you tell me more about post install script? If for example I want to repair grub at the end of the cloning image how to run a post installation script? I saw a folder in /images with that name. It should be bash or sh script ?

During my setup of new FOG server I came across other issue. I tried to activate https SSL and my ipxe doesn’t boot anymore and the web access got certification problem (not trusted). I saw a lot here in the forum about that but still can not find a place here where it is explained step by step how to activate SSL and got it to work well with iPXE https and access web trusted certificates. Maybe I missed it, but if you can guide me on how to do it I’ll be so helpful.
Thanks again for all your help!!

@Sebastian-Roth thank you so much. Tell me how you want me to take the image , like Linux OS or Others?
I’ll make a new image after installed a fresh copy windows/Ubuntu and will post the information today.

@george1421 ok. Thank you

@Tom-Elliott I’ve never tried it, but I want to try a simple installation first windows and after that ubuntu without touching the partitions, I’ll see if it work. If not I’ll check the solution proposed in the wiki to downgrade grub to legacy. I’ll post my results here soon.

@Sebastian-Roth https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Client_Setup#Dual_boot_Images

it says : The installation is a standard Linux installation, but the default grub is not supported, so we downgrade to grub-legacy.

@Sebastian-Roth Can you explain why grub2 is not supported in FOG and need to be downgraded to grub?
I red this in fogwiki .

@george1421 I install windows and manually delete partitions and leave only the boot and windows OS and after I create third one for example fat32 which when I install Ubuntu I format to ext4. During the Linux installation grub is installed on first partition efi mounted like /boot

@Sebastian-Roth no, it’s primary partition. The disk was separated before installation on three partitions 100M/300G/100G.(grub2/Windows/Ubuntu) For example the same disk cloned with Clonezilla works fine when you deploy on other computer but like I said Clonezilla reinstall (repair) grub at the end of cloning, FOG not.
In wiki it’s written that FOG doesn’t support grub2.
Is this still valid for the version now?
If yes why it supports grub but not grub2? Where is the problem?

@Sebastian-Roth I know it is open source and it’s not a product, my mistake

I’ll post an image tomorrow, but in general three partitions : GPT (first one 100Mb efi for grub2, second one Windows , third one Linux ext4 )
The image was captured like Other and I tried like Linux .
In both cases when I deploy the image I see on the screen just the command prompt for grub like this:
grub>
All partitions are there but grub doesn’t know what to do I think.

@fractal13 I can not see your script solution for grub2. I think it was moved or deleted. the link is not working.

First I want to say hi to everybody in this forum. I’m new to fog project and for my first week with fog I’m really impressed of the work you have done wit it. I’m responsible for a lab with 400 computers and I found FOG is one of the best solutions for me in my lab. I came across FOG after several problems with Clonezilla server drbl and now I’m happy with your product :).
Now I have one issue which unfortunately I could not find up to now a good solution. All my computers are dual boot windows/Ubuntu with grub2 installed on first partition alone. When I deploy an image it hangs on grub. I red here and on internet for a solution but what I found here for example is really out of date and I was wondering if you have some new solution for grub2 without downgrade to grub legacy. I see others use labels for their hard drive in grub2 instead of UUID which in my opinion is the root of the problem.
For example what Clonezilla does with this problem is to reinstall grub2 at the end of deployment of the image. I’m not aware you to have option like this.

I really look forward to find a solution and to keep using FOG because I like it very much.

I home someone here have a solution…
