FOG is a free open-source computer cloning, imaging, and management system that deploys and manages Windows, macOS, and Linux machines over a network using PXE boot and a web GUI. It also provides inventory management, disk wiping, memory/disk testing, antivirus scans, and scheduled remote tasks.
Use cases
- deploy windows images to many pcs over the network
- clone lab computers with pxe boot
- wipe disks before disposing of machines
- manage hardware and software inventory of workstations
- schedule remote os deployment tasks
- image mac and linux machines from a central server
When to choose
- you need to image or reimage large fleets of PCs across a network
- you want a free, self-hosted alternative to commercial imaging suites
- you need centralized inventory and task management for client machines
- you operate multi-site networks needing distributed storage nodes
When to avoid
- you only need to image a single machine occasionally
- you need modern MDM-style management for mobile devices
- you cannot run a dedicated Linux server on your network
- you need cloud-native or containerized deployment tooling
