Fog is an open source network cloning and management solution for Windows and Linux systems, and it can be easily installed on Clear Linux Latest with a few simple steps. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Fog from its official website.
Before installing Fog on Clear Linux Latest, we need to install some dependencies that are required by Fog. To do so, run the following commands:
sudo swupd bundle-add web-server-basic php-basic mariadb
sudo systemctl enable --now mysql
sudo mysql_secure_installation
The above commands will install the Apache web server, PHP, and MariaDB database server, which are required by Fog to run properly. We also enable and start the MariaDB service and run the security script to secure the database.
Next, we need to download the latest version of Fog from its official website at https://www.fogproject.org/. You can use the following command to download the latest version of Fog:
wget https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/archive/refs/tags/1.5.9.tar.gz
The above command will download the latest stable version of Fog. If you want to download a specific version of Fog, replace the tag number in the above command with the desired version.
After downloading Fog, navigate to the directory where the downloaded file is located and extract it using the following command:
tar xzf 1.5.9.tar.gz
Next, navigate to the extracted directory:
cd fogproject-1.5.9/bin
And run the installation script as follows:
./installfog.sh
This will start the installation process and prompt you for some information, such as the installation type, database configuration, and network settings. Follow the prompts and enter the required information.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to access the Fog web interface at http://localhost/fog/.
That's it! You have successfully installed Fog on Clear Linux Latest. You can now use the powerful cloning and management features of Fog to manage your Windows and Linux systems.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
