@Wayne-Workman Great, thanks for your work in this!

@Wayne-Workman Thanks!

Putting a bow-tie on this thread: This feature is complete. Link to the external reporting is in my signature, the kernels in use are beginning to show up, these figures will increase and show a bigger picture over time.

It appears to be fixed. Great work @Sebastian-Roth

I see Fedora 35 tests are now passing on dev-branch as well as working-1.6.

@Wayne-Workman Really awesome work. Thank you so much for all this as well as new ideas!

I definitely vote for more testing as it’s still mostly manual work. Though I have to admit that I can’t see me working on this.

One option for limiting support to reduce workload would be to limit to LTS branches only. So only 18.04 and 20.04 for Ubuntu and skipping the intermediary releases and dropping those that go out of support by their vendor (eg ubuntu 14.04, 16.04).

Another thing I just now thought of - versioning the partition file we keep with the images. We can start out with v1.0.0. And if we change how we store that file, we simply increment the version. This would give us some more flexibility in regard to changes.

Thinking further, the scripts that collect the physical partitions are fine, we can just add JSON output for those.

And really, the LVM describing tools are what needs JSON output, so the effort there is targeted to just those.

I think I’m going to take a swing at adding JSON to an LVM describing tool (there are several).

Now, time flies and it’s been another two months. I’ve had very little time due to other projects but things are calming down a little bit right now. So I hope we can get this done in the next few weeks. I can take the lead on this but I can’t do it all on my own. I would really need some help by others to do some testing and so on.

So please get involved, contact me or post here.

sed -i -e 's/dnf check-update/dnf -y check-update/g' /path/to/fogproject/lib/redhat/config.

Not sure if you saw that I edited my initial post. That sed command should take care of the issue that is causing master to fail. Find the related commit that fixed the issue in dev-branch here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/90caf2367d21d0594b7f16b2813a2fa94684ad78

@sebastian-roth Great job, the installation tests are looking beautiful today.

@Wayne-Workman Ok, right. Then toss it I would say.

@wayne-workman said in Fedora 33 and Ubuntu 16:

wants to get everything OS agnostic by replacing PHP components with NodeJS ones, getting the UI and API away from making native OS calls, so on.

I agree with this too. Node.js opens the door to running the FOG server on a lot more platforms than just linux. It WILL be a long road to get there (if ever). We do need 3-4 node.js new developers to step up and restart the FOG-too project to get things moving.

The count on working branch and dev-branch as of today is 718 fog servers.

The figures seem much more stable now, much less fluctuations. Thank you @Quazz !
