@olivierlambert switched to node 18.18 and still no logs, or remote server connect

@olivierlambert I don't do documentation, so I'm not 100% sure how easy something like just adding what version XO uses.

@olivierlambert I guess I made an assumption, cause most guides out there, especially for linux, there pictures are not up to date on what version to use.

Looking back I can see where I missed it.

as for my issue, I did roll it back to node 16.20.2 ( when I reinstalled node using NODE_MAJOR 16 this is what got installed, doesn't match your version exactly) and it still won't load the logs or join my SMB share.

How can I view the logs and upload them here?

Test remote

unknown error from the peer
SHOW LOGS

but when I look at logs, it just spins forever. I let it run over night for 9 hours.

any thoughts? I tried to find the logs manually but could not find them VIA cli.
the folder /var/log/syslog no syslog folder.

@Hibikisayo and now there broken again, and I can't seem to load logs to find the issue.

Ever hear of murphy's law?

yeah.....once you complain your problems, they go away!!!!

I did what everyone else did and just reinstalled a new one, and problem solved.

here is what I did different.

Apparently, when installing debian if you give root a password, then sudo does not get installed. (note)
so, i installed everything I could under the user (xoa i created) and if i did not have permission, i signed into root su - and installed there, then went back to user. By passing the need for sudo...........

doing this made it all work out.

Thank you for the patience, and I am sorry for the new ticket creation!

@olivierlambert node was ver 20. npm is 9.6.7

I found a previous post with the exact same issue I have, 2 xcp-ng servers.
and when I create my own XO and attach the xcp servers, it shows a pool for a few seconds then disappears.

when I did the XOA and did the same process as above, including the unauthorized part, it works great. no worries.

so, it's something with my install of XO.

Steps I've taken to troubleshoot:
I have re-created the xo free 5 times now, all with the same end result.
1st attempt, base OS Debian 10.1 server installed with no errors all done under ROOT (not user with sudo commands)
2nd: Debian 10 server, used local user with sudo commands.
3rd: Debian 11 server used DVD version. apparently this type I was not able to run apt-get commands as root user, cause the DVD install added the dvd as sources and had to work around and manually add repos, and remove the DVD ones, etc.
4th: debian 11 server used dvd, this time I tried to set everything up as user instead of root. Same issue as above with sudo commands, and repositories.
5th: debian 11 server net install. with web server component: Bare min setup, again had to manually install sudo, install XO as current user (named xoa) ran into issues near the end with making it a service. had to change port to 1024 cause I'm guessing when I installed the www server during install it changed something.

in each of those instances, I was able to get a working XO web panel and logged into and the servers added, but the pools kept disappearing.

I am not new to linux,. but i am a basic user. I've setup other servers before using guides and found work arounds, but i am no means a troubleshooter of linux servers.

when searching this up, several others have had the same issue, but there's were resolved with user error. same IP on the network set to 2 separate machines, and removal of xo VM and reinstall.

as for the install some instructions were not clear. Such as, what user to run these commands under? none of your instructions have sudo as commands needed. am I making assumptions and using sudo when I should not be?
