@p4cm4n said in has anyone ever used fog from the external WWW:

satellite office without VPN that the fog client will connect to my external IP address

That’s generally advised against for the reasons @george1421 has already listed. It’s difficult to completely secure all aspects of FOG given the current code base and the technologies it uses.

@candidom said in Advice on specs for new setup:

Is there any recommendations on server grade hardware to make sure that half of those spaces are imaging as fast as the endpoints hardware will allow?

Solid state disks in the server would be the best performance boost on a copper 1Gbps network for strictly imaging only purposes.

@lpetelik said in Nodes not behaving properly on a rebuild:

but not under the Dashboard nor under FOG Configuration, Kernel versions.

Any errors in the apache log? On CentOS 7 that should be /var/log/http/error.log Also about what @Quazz said, the nodes would need to be updated with the new master’s IP address - that should be a matter of updating /opt/fog/.fogsettings and re-running the installer on them. Also - the Node FOG Version and the master FOG Version must match or things won’t work right.

@msi said in 503 Service Unavailable:

didn’t change routeraddress, plainrouter, and dns address.

Those settings only affect DHCP on the fog server (If you’re using fog for DHCP). They would not affect web gui operation.

@svalding Have you re-tried the installer?

@satheesh said in udhcpc **deleting routers**:

DHCP failed… after press enter…

@developers does that look ok?

@satheesh there is no problem with ‘deleting routers’ as Sebastian said. Your problem is with FOS checking in to the fog server. When you are seeing the messages ‘attempting to check in…’ look at the apache access log on the fog server to see if it’s even getting the request. You can do a tail -f /var/log/apache2/access.log you should see entries as the FOS client tries to check in. If you don’t, it means the FOG server is not getting the requests. If you do, it means FOG server is replying but FOS is not getting the reply.

@bbebz3 ‘Downloading binaries needed’ here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/d9e7a329a6ec6384593c75df3026ca0b46efa00f/lib/common/functions.sh#L1927

I’d probably recommend you just use a grep -r 'wget' . or grep -r 'curl' . to search for web calls in the installation code.

@astrugatch said in Deploy FOG Client to systems not currently enrolled:

If I push the FOG client to them with the MSI via a group policy script will they show up in my pending approval list?

Yes, given that you pass the correct IP address of the FOG Server: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client#FOG_Client_0.10.0.2B_Installation_Options

@uwpviolator I’m not sure if such a file/key exists. We should ask @joe-schmitt about that. You could just do a wholesale - uninstall and reinstall for all your machines.
