USB Boot image generation #82

Closed geek-at closed 5 months ago

geek-at commented 5 months ago

Hello! I use FOG in multiple schools and I love it!

I came across a few devices who just wouldn't PXE boot (mostly newer Laptops which don't have LAN and don't support PXE via USB NICs).

In the official forum there is a tutorial on how to create an USB bootable image which is capable of doing what PXE would do.

This pull request adds a script (create-usb-image.sh) and a github workflow (.github/workflows/make_usb.sh) which automates the creation of the boot image by hooking into the "published release" trigger from github.

Meaning every time a new release of fos is published, the script will generate the USB bootable image for x64 and add it to the release files.

That looks awesome!

Typically, we push changes to the dev-branch branch, then eventually merge that into master. Are you able to make these changes against the dev-branch instead?

Thanks for the info!

Sadly I can't see a branch called dev-branch in the fos repo, only master, http-stream-deploy and fos-2
