## FOG Project Deployment
If you want to deploy the FOG Project software in your homelab environment to remotely image devices via PXE boot, follow the instructions below to get through the process.

!!! info "assumptions"
    It is assumed that you are deploying FOG Project in Ubuntu Server 26.04 or newer.  This documentation does not account for distro-specific issues in other operating systems.

    It is also assumed that you allocate at least 4-cores and 8GB of RAM with at least 256GB of storage for the OS and FOG images.

!!! warning "Potential Netplan Misconfiguration"
    I observed an oddity with the networking stack of the Ubuntu Server VM, so just to be safe, run the following command to check that you have both the `nameservers` pointing to your DNS server(s) and `routes` pointing to your default gateway.

    ```sh
    cd /etc/netplan
    ls
    <look for the netplan file>
    nano <netplan file>
    ```

    Ensure it looks something like this, and fix it if any fields are missing:

    ```yaml
    network:
      ethernets:
          ens18:
          addresses:
          - 192.168.3.9/24
          routes:
              - to: default
              via: 192.168.3.1
          match:
              macaddress: bc:24:11:5c:eb:c9
          nameservers:
              addresses: [192.168.3.25, 192.168.3.26]
              search: []
          set-name: ens18
      version: 2
    ```
