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
