Hello,
until now I was using the “dev-branch” branch of git:

git branch -vv
* dev-branch ddb9904a7 [origin/dev-branch] Fix https build failing due to inline tests
 master 171d63724 [origin/master] FOG 1.5.9 Officially Released

For the latest update of fog: 1.5.10, is it better to switch to the master branch?
This is a production server and I don’t want to “break” it.

Once the choice of the branch is made, the update procedure is always the same?

Change the reference branch to master or dev-branch (To be done the first time)
	git checkout master or git checkout dev-branch
Initialize git :
	git init
Update the git repository:
	git pull
Install FOG
cd bin/
./installfog.sh

Thanks for your help.

So no problem to upgrade from 1.5.9.111 (dev-branch) to 1.5.9.235(dev-branch) ?
Thanks

Hello,
I am currently using FOG version 1.5.9.111 (dev-branch).
It seems that the last version of “dev-branch” is 1.5.9.235.

On github I don’t see the changelog concerning this version.
Can I upgrade from 1.5.9.111 to 1.5.9.235 without any problem?
They are minor corrections?
Thanks for your help.

When I click this button, if I leave FOG and go back to the same host, the button is displayed again.
But it seemed to me that once I had clicked on this button, it was not supposed to be displayed again for the same host

Hello,
I have a little problem on the web interface.
I have to regularly click on the “reset encryption data” button of some hosts and it seems that this action is not remembered.
What could be the problem?
Thanks for your help

I think i 've got the solution :
in fogsettings,

storageLocation was ='/images',

then
/etc/exports was :

/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

After correcting fogsettings (storageLocation =‘/home/images’,
/etc/exports :

/home/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/home/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)

and it seems to works

@sebastian-roth Hello
The migration is done and I think I followed the documentation.
During a test I encounter the following problem:

Could not mount images folder (/bin/fog.download)
Reason: mount: mounting 192.168.39.243:/home/images/ on /images failed: Permission denied

My images directory is in /home/images.
Do i miss something ?

Hello,
I’m planning to migrate our fog server to a new machine.
The new machine will be configured in the same way.

I had some questions about this migration:

Is the documentation available at this address still up to date?
[https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Migrate_FOG](link url)
The old machine is in version 1.5.9, the new machine, due to installation problems is in version 1.5.9.111.
Is this a problem? Or do I have to upgrade the old machine to 1.5.9.111?

During tests, I noticed some bugs during the installation of the master branch on a stable debian (bullseye):
The installer tries to install the “php-gettext” package, but this package doesn’t exist anymore and you have to install the “php-php-gettext” package
The installer proposes the installation of certificate, if to the first question it is answered no, to the second question, it is not possible to say no to give a server name for the certificate.
So the installation fails with the stable version

When switching to the dev-branch version, the problems are the same but the installation finishes normally.

Thanks for your help.

@utpalgiriarc
You should install these packages:
php-gettext
php-php-gettext
This is what is installed on my server
Use aptitude or apt to install them.

@sebastian-roth
I completed the upgrade without any major problems.
I had to reinstall some php packages that had been removed during the upgrade
(the comparison between the packages installed on the old version and the new one allowed me to reinstall them easily)

I also had to re-run installfog.sh because I had the same problem as here:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15254/503-service-unavailable-after-debian-upgrade.

Also, unrelated to fog, I had to review the configuration of mariadb and more particularly the authentication mode of the “root@localhost” user.
Indeed the user “root@localhost” was still using authentication with a password, but the new method is to use auth_socket :

+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Host | User | plugin | authentication_string |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root | mysql_native_password | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX |

+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| Host | User | plugin | authentication_string |
+-----------+------------------+-----------------------+-------------------------------------------+
| localhost | root | unix_socket |

this is all I can say

Hello,
i plan to upgrade my server fog to the latest debian stable “bullseye”.
Can there be compatibility problems ?

i see that php go from 7.3 to 7.4.
Do i have to run “installfog.sh” once debian upgraded?
Do i have to modify /opt/fog/.fogsettings :

php_ver='7.3'
php_verAdds='-7.3'

to

php_ver='7.4'
php_verAdds='-7.4'

In .fogsettings, does this line is always usefull :

packages='apache2 bc build-essential cpp curl g++ gawk gcc gzip htmldoc lftp libapache2-mod-php7.3 libc6 libcurl4 m4 mariadb-client mariadb-server net-tools nfs-kernel-server openssh-server php7.3 php7.3-bcmath php7.3-cli php7.3-curl php7.3-fpm php7.3-gd php7.3-json php7.3-mbstring php7.3-mysql php-gettext sysv-rc-conf tar tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa unzip vsftpd wget xinetd zlib1g'

Hello,
since an update, I don’t know which one, it is impossible for me to backup database with this command :

/usr/bin/mysqldump --allow-keywords -x -v fog > /home/tmp/toto.sql

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" when trying to connect

It worked before.
Now what is the user and the password to use mysqldump ?

Thanks for your help

There is always a problem during this operation:

Testing internet connection.................................There was no interface with an active internet connection found.

As we are behind proxy, the ping command does not works.
May be it could be possible to test internet connection with curl or wget ?
https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/master/lib/common/functions.sh#L386

Thanks again

@Sebastian-Roth

With the good config file for curl
.curlrc

proxy = http://blabla.fr:3128/
noproxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

It works fine.

Just for information, here is what i use :

.wgetrc

http_proxy = http://blabla.fr:3128/
https_proxy = http://blabla.fr:3128/
use_proxy = on
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

.gitconfig

[http]
	proxy = http://blabla.fr:3128

.curlrc

proxy = http://blabla.fr:3128/
noproxy = localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243

@Sebastian-Roth said in Stuck on : "Ensuring node username and passwords match....":

You can see it’s just a curl request to the FOG webserver to make sure the storage node settings (username/password/IP) in the database are correct.

$ipaddress in this line is the "real ip address of the server, not “localhost” or “127.0.0.1” ?

Thanks for your help

plegrand

@Sebastian-Roth
Has it always been curl?
I’m behind a proxy and i made this configuration for wget :
http_proxy = http://cache.blabla.fr:3128/
https_proxy = http://cache.blabla.fr:3128/
use_proxy = on
no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,192.168.39.243
May be i should make the same configuration for curl ?

I just remember that i made an export comand for proxy, then installer use proxy for all actions.
I’ll test tomorrow whithout export command to see.
I’ll tell you

plegrand

@Sebastian-Roth
Is it safe t “re run” the installer to see exactly the good logs ?
Is there other logs to watch except /var/log/apache2/error.log ?

Can you tell me what the installer try to do?
A wget request?
with wich url ?

@Sebastian-Roth The FOG UI seems to work fine
