@sebastian-roth I will have to wait until late next month to update. I have to image around 200 computers in the coming weeks so I’ll leave those laptops as the last devices to image in case something breaks with the update.
Thanks for all your help, I will reply to the thread after I update the server.

@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth So I modified my postdownload scripts to manually mount the correct drive if the code that was originally there didn’t do it. It is working for me so I am adding my post download scripts below in case anyone comes across this thread and finds it helpful for them. This works for me in my environment, but may not work for everyone.

I took inspiration from the getHardDisk() function in https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/master/Buildroot/board/FOG/FOS/rootfs_overlay/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh

The scripts are a bit of a mess but working

@rodluz I don’t understand the hiding of private ip addresses, never have and never will. Either way, glad you were able to get this working for you!

@rodluz you can try this, https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6463/expose-fog-host-and-image-properties-to-post-install-scripts?_=1620751811503 and make a review of host, image and hostinventory items…

@rodluz Sorry, somehow I lost track of this topic! Here you go…

@jtappen The picture you posted, is this in Hosts -> edit one host’s settings -> Active Directory or in Groups -> edit group settings -> Active Directory?

If it’s the host’s settings then we can start digging deeper by looking into the database:

shell> mysql -u fogmaster -p Password: ... mysql> use fog; ... mysql> UPDATE hosts SET hostPubKey='', hostSecToken='', hostSecTime='0000-00-00 00:00:00'; ... mysql> quit

The password for the fogmaster database user is found in /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php.

@rodluz said in 503 Error and stuck at "attempting to update database":

So I changed the pm.max_children setting to 150

Good catch on the max_children setting. If you would have had a current version of FOG that setting would be 35. I think 150 is a bit excessive since each child consumes ram. I think 50 might be a better choice to start with. Most people don’t start 20 simultaneous unicast streams so I can say we’ve not run into this issue before with the standard 35 max children. 5 IS a bit low.

So to recap you had 2 issues, one was the memory limit and the other was the max children setting.

Once you get past your image push crunch, you might consider upgrading to the latest version of FOG.
