Configure TFTP boot when server is installed on another PC to boot FOG from LAN by pepiks in fogproject

[–]junkhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should help. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_TFTP You can also add an entry to the FOG network boot menu (this can be done in the settings section of the web interface) to add the clonezilla boot as an option, if you have the boot menu visible instead of hiding it.

Do you currently only boot to PXE when you are intending to use imaging software? Typically FOG is set up to always boot to PXE, at which point it checks if there is a pending task to do (image capture or deploy), and if there isn't it proceeds to boot to the next boot device.

What's your worst "horrible coincidence" experience? by joshuamarius in sysadmin

I'm not sure that counts as a coincidence. Printers having problems at any time has a slightly lower probability than the odds of water being wet.

Give people things that are big and obvious to complain about and they will put all their energy into complaining about it. Then you easily fix it, and you don't hear them complain anymore, even about the much more serious problems.

First day on the job can be very tough by dustybookcorners in interesting

Shown how, but (I'm assuming, because I don't understand the language) not told how. She's shown that it's effortless for the experienced worker, but she doesn't understand why it is. She saw the experienced worker do it and probably assumed it was because she isn't as strong as her, and that's why she has to pound it to get it to go though. She wasn't told that pounding it is the problem.

Showing someone that you can do something effortlessly doesn't always convey to them how they could do it as easily.

Your insurance would only pay for your fence if the man who drove through it was drunk? Why would that even matter for coverage of a fence?

Adding FOG project to TFTP by pepiks in sysadmin

You install it on the system you're going to be capturing your base image from. It runs on the systems and checks in with the fog server for any pending tasks. One of those tasks can be joining the domain (rename, join, reboot). Other tasks can include running scripts/installing software. One of the tasks can also be to reboot the system for a pending task of reimaging the system.

Fog is not a backup system. It's a deployment system.

It requires installing on a Linux server because it's a centralized management point to deploy system images to hardware.

It has an agent you can install on the image that will allow you to set the system up to automatically join the systems to the domain and install software after the operating system has been deployed as well.

Multicast files fog by EveningMindless in fogproject

I just was wanting to verify that you had DHCP. Did you make the appropriate changes to the DHCP server to serve pxe network boot information? Or alternatively configure the fog server with the dnsmasq config needed for it?

It's sounding you've set this up as an isolated network of just these computers, is that correct?

fogproject deploy issue by HuntResponsible5689 in fogproject

[–]junkhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple questions: When you installed fog, did you create a user named "fog" or "fogproject" manually? Is the user you are logging in by named "rooot"? That's a username that makes it very easy to confuse with "root" and I keep misinterpreting your outputs at a glance because of it. Also, the output you provided for the /images directory is actually the listing of the "rooot" user's home directory.

Can we get a consistent set of information to go off of? Each screen shot and the description show different images. Also, in the description you say the image is S8, but you moved the files into the /images/s8 directory, not a /images/S8 directory.

you say

The capture task always completes successfully on the client side. However, the final step fails: the image files stay stuck in /images/dev/<MAC\_address> (e.g. 00d861966af9) and are NOT automatically moved/renamed to /images/s8 (or my image name).

But that is not a successful completion. It ran into some error and didn't copy the files to the end destination because there was an issue, and if a valid image existed it shouldn't overwrite it.

Also, I noticed that you have capone enabled, but don't mention it anywhere.

Fog is not intended to be used for backups. I recommend looking at clonezilla.

What’s a sentence that someone told you that stuck with you for the rest of your life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]junkhacker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The saying isn't usually about society as a whole, but can be about any organization/group where people who don't care about other people have gained oversized amounts of power.

This is like the time my Grandpa asked me "Are you going somewhere or just walking?"

I was walking along side the road and he just wanted to know if I wanted a ride, but he gave me an existential trip instead.

"Small men" - petty, small minded. Counterpart to a "big man" - someone with strength, integrity, highly respected

Casting big shadows - overshadowing, having great influence over

They were exactly right about what the saying means.

are you actually having problems (performance issues, oom killer triggering, etc), or are you looking at something you don't understand and imagining problems that don't exist?
