@88fingerslukee Hello, good news: The login page works well, my fault, the default username is fog and the password is password and I should have known.

• A annoying bug that appear when i switch enable the internal DHCP server with FOG_DHCP_ENABLED=true is, when i bootstrap the fog-server container, in the logs appears:

  "ERROR: Unprocessed placeholders found:
   29:        filename "{{FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI32}}";
   31:        filename "{{FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI64}}";
   33:        filename "{{FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI64}}";
   35:        filename "{{FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM32}}";
   37:        filename "{{FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM64}}";"
  

But this variables has correctly set in the docker-compose.yml file (i suppose):
My docker-compose.yml file:

 "FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI32: "${FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI32:-ipxe32.efi}"
  FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI64: "${FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_UEFI64:-ipxe.efi}"
  FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM32: "${FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM32:-arm32.efi}"
  FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM64: "${FOG_DHCP_BOOTFILE_ARM64:-arm64.efi}""

@88fingerslukee hello,
As promise, i ve tried your image and i wont confirm that works with external and different port database! i just wanna compliment for you work. you made it.

• There is one small problem that i think is mine, but i havent found the cause:
  when i running up the docker-compose.yml, the fog server and the database goes up, but the login page return itself in a loop when i try to log in (http://fog_server_ip/fog/management/login if i im not going wrong). Can you help me to find the cause?
  Thanks.

@88fingerslukee Thank you, I promise I will try your project and leave a feedback.

@JJ-Fullmer Dear Fullmer, thanks in advance for your intervention.

• Unfortunatly in the machine that run my fog container there is another mysql database listen on port 3306.
  This is not a problem, i just semi-resolved creating a non-privileged/shared network host mysql container with no exposed port -> place fog container and this database container in a same network (they can ping each other with fqdn) and i’ve just modified the /opt/fog/.fogsettings with your suggestion in the past, but the solution doesnt work:
  The installation goes fine, but the result is a blank http page that it say: database error. (something like that).
  I think (but is only supposition, im not absolutly a developer) that there is written php scripts that must to be point to a localhost database (something in /var/www/html/fog/*).

• This problem is born because the fog container must be in privileged mode, with the same network namespace as the host, and in this host there is another database already.

• Thanks for confirm me the inevitable death of the container version of fog. it really hard to containerize this application without setting privileged mode and/or share the host network. and the huge problem of systemd processes make this containerizzation very difficulty to maintain.

Thanks for the patience

Good evening, I hope you are all well. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I would like to point out that this post was not intended to be controversial; I would like to try to be as constructive as possible.
I also apologize in advance if there are current dynamics that I am unaware of, perhaps my requests (some of which are) have already been made some time ago.

• I was wondering if the official Fogproject docker image on dockerhub was still in the works. In this post from two years ago, it was clearly stated that it was: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/16682/official-docker-image/8

Since I couldn’t find anything about it, I created a Docker image myself based on another image with systemd already installed, and this raises a question:

• Is it possible to introduce a prompt or a option/argument during the installation phase that asks whether or not you want to configure an external database?

This request is born from a common problem here.
A database already exists in the environment and is listening on the default port. Therefore, the installation of Fog is not successful.
We considered changing the port for the Fog database, but the installation script does not want to configure the software on a port other than the default one.
Another thing we wanted to try was to create an external database on another machine using this thread: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15122/installation-of-fog-with-external-mysql-base
Same problem.

Thank you for your patience.
