Hello, I am a bit confused with how you can find the name of the primary drive you want to use as the “Host Primary Disk.” I have a PC with two drives (one containing my OS and some apps, and the other containing games).

I want to regularly deploy a clean image to the primary drive (OS and apps).

@Sebastian-Roth by setting up CRON style scheduled deploy in Fog would that do it daily at the same time everyday. Or at least initiate the task at the same time everyday. I assume it wouldn’t deploy until the computers are turned on or restarted past that time?

Good catch, i forgot about the second boot after the deployed image. Is there a way to schedule an image deployment at a specific time everyday? I would like to do this for Windows. I have an image that contains gaming launchers (epic, steam, etc). I would like to wipe the games people download and redeploy that clean image everyday without having to manually schedule it each time.

So I currently have my PCs set to boot from the Network first, this way if there are any pending fog tasks they will occur during startup or reboot, otherwise they will continue to the disk. Is there a way to have an image deploy every time the computer boots or restarts?

Hello,

Another location of ours was having issues capturing images because their storage was near full (they were deleting images from the web interface but not the server). I logged into the server and ran the following:

sudo -i
cd /images/
ls
rm -rf ImageName

It shows 1TB of free space on the web interface now, but when they try to capture an image they receive an error:

“Failed to complete capture (savePartition)
Args Passed: /dev/sda4 1 /images/309c23adb7ae all
Exit code: 1
Maybe check the fog server to ensure disk space is good to go?”

Is the another step I am missing?

Those are all enabled on the firewall and still having the same problem occurs. All PCs are UEFI enabled in the BIOS.

@george1421 will I have problems updating to a stable version if I have 1.5.9RC2? I followed the steps on the Wiki to download the stable version on another server and it gave me 1.5.9RC2. Also, just to confirm, is this what you are suggesting:

cd /root/fogproject
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

I am trying to set up my network using separate VLANs for Gamers and Admins. My Fog server is on the Admin VLAN and the computers are on the Gamer VLAN. I can ping the fog server from the Gamer VLAN with no problem. My firewall is set up with ipxe.efi and the computers have network stack enabled and Network Boot as the first option. When I start the computers though they will search IPv4 and IPv6 for a long time and then just boot to the drive. When I disable the VLAN for the fog server so it is open to the entire network it works. Is there a setting in fog I need to adjust or does anyone know if I need to adjust the VLAN or Firewall settings? We use Unifi switches and all our other servers on the Admin VLAN have no problem communicating with the Gamer VLAN.

Hello,

I am curious on the easiest way to update to the latest version of the Fog master branch. I reviewed another forum discussion here, but I am a bit confused since I don’t work in Linux frequently…Can I just rerun the installation:

sudo -i
cd /root
git clone https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git
cd /root/fogproject/bin
./installfog.sh

or can I just copy the “upgrade to the latest trunk” method found here, and just replace “dev-branch” with “master” as shown below:

cd /root/fogproject
git checkout master
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

Any suggestions for a novice like me would be much appreciated!

What are the minimum CPU, RAM, and Storage specs that fog can operate on? What is the recommended specs for handling unicast images on up to 100-200 computers with a queue size of 6-12 PCs at a time?
