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
