Legacy clone engine scripting enters EoL

Soleta Networks — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 11:39:22 GMT

We are excited to announce that the legacy clone engine scripting libraries and utilities, including:

Core Libraries: Boot.lib, File.lib, Inventory.lib, PostConf.lib, Registry.lib, System.lib, Cache.lib, FileSystem.lib, Net.lib, Protocol.lib, Rsync.lib, Disk.lib, Image.lib, PostConfEAC.lib, String.lib, UEFI.lib, and ImagenesSincronizadas.lib

Standalone Scripts: bootLinux, bootOs, bootOsCustom.template, bootWindows, buildToOrder, cloneRemoteFromMaster, configureOs, configureOsCustom.template, createBaseImage, createDiffImage, createImage, createImageCustom.template, createLogicalPartitions, createPrimaryPartitions, deployImage, formatFs, generateMenuDefault, getFsType, getIpAddress, getOsVersion, grubSyntax, poweroff, README.es.txt, reboot, remoteConsole, restoreBaseImage, restoreDiffImage, restoreImage, restoreImageCustom.template, installOfflineMode, launchOgagentInstaller, listHardwareInfo, listPartitions, listPrimaryPartitions, listSoftwareInfo, menuBrowser, ogCrearImagenBasica, ogCrearSoftIncremental, ogRestaurarImagenBasica, ogRestaurarSoftIncremental, runAplicationX.sh, runhttplog.sh, sendFileMcast, setBootMode, updateBootCache, updateCache, and related utilities are officially discontinued in favor of our new and improved Scripting Infrastructure.

🚀 What's New: Post-Configuration & Custom Scripting

The new infrastructure simplifies automation and gives you flexible, organized control over post-deployment tasks using standard scripting languages.

Post-Configuration Scripts* store and execute custom scripts that run automatically after image restoration:

Live environments: /opt/opengnsys/client/postconf/live. Place your Bash scripts here for execution in live mode. These scripts are run after the image restoration.
Windows environments: /opt/opengnsys/client/postconf/windows. Place your .ps1 PowerShell or .cmd Batch files here. These scripts are run in the first boot of this OS in the mini-setup mode.

Access these scripts directly from ogCP: Images → Edit Images Then, select the scripts that you want to run after the image restoration.

On-Demand Custom Scripts: Run ad-hoc maintenance, diagnostics, or configuration tasks anytime. Universal script directory: /opt/opengnsys/client/shell/. Store reusable Bash, PowerShell, or other compatible scripts here for Linux and Windows environments.

Access these scripts from ogCP: Commands → Run → Run Scripts

Scripting Environment Variables: To facilitate dynamic scripting, specific environment variables are automatically injected into your scripts during execution: OG_DEVICE_PATH (Bash): This variable is set automatically in Bash scripts and specifies the /dev path to the partition where an image is being restored (e.g., /dev/sda1). You can use this variable directly in your scripts to target the correct device without hardcoding paths.

✅ Benefits of the New Infrastructure

Clean separation of concerns: post-conf vs. on-demand execution
Native support for Bash, PowerShell, and CMD syntax
Dynamic Device Handling: Use OG_DEVICE_PATH to safely identify target partitions from your scripts
Integrated visibility and management through ogCP

📅 Support Timeline

Legacy scripting support will continue until August 2026. After this date, legacy libraries and scripts will no longer receive updates, testing, or technical support.

🔁 Migration Guidance

We strongly encourage all users to begin transitioning their workflows to the new scripting infrastructure now. Start by:

Replace your existing PostConf.lib based custom script logic.
Refactoring tasks into Bash (.sh) or PowerShell (.ps1) files. Utilizing OG_DEVICE_PATH in Bash scripts to handle partition targeting dynamically.
Placing them in the appropriate directory (postconf/live, postconf/windows, or shell/).
Testing execution via ogCP before decommissioning legacy calls.
Comprehensive migration examples and best practices are available in our updated documentation portal.

legacy ogLive images enter EoL

Soleta Networks — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 20:33:23 GMT

We are excited to announce that the older live images, such as ogLive-focal-5.4.0-42, ogLive-focal-5.13.0-27 and any other similar ogLive image available are discontinued in favor of our new and improved live image series: ogrelive, starting with versions like 6.1.0-32-amd64. See our documentation for more information about the new ogrelive system.

The new ogrelive images offer enhanced performace, updated features (new browser), and improved reliability and stability to better meet your needs, it has been extensively tested in production with UEFI and BIOS legacy computers.

Support for legacy ogLive images will continue until August 2025. We encourage all users to transition to the latest ogrelive images to take full advantage of the latest updates and ongoing support.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the migration, our support team at opengnsys@soleta.eu is here to help!

ubuntu 20.04 LTS EoL in April 2025

Soleta Networks — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 20:46:52 GMT

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) enters End of Life (EoL) in April 2025.

We provide a new installer of OpenGnsys Enterprise for Ubuntu 22.04 LS for new installations.

We also provide support to migrate an existing installation from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy).

web console and OgAgent enters EoL in August 2024

Soleta Networks — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 09:14:13 GMT

The following OpenGnsys Enterprise components available for Ubuntu 20.04 LS will enter End of Life (EoL) in August 2024:

legacy web interface (also known as "web console"), which is replaced by the new ogCP web front-end.
ogAgent, which is replaced by ogClient. There are versions of ogClient available for Linux and Windows in our download area. To ease migration, both ogAgent and ogClient can be installed in the same computer.

ogCP is already provided by default by the OpenGnsys Enterprise installer. Please, check documentation for more information on to access it.

Make sure your ogCP web interface is up to date with the following commands:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade ogcp
