@nathanael-h

thanks for info

i used https://github.com/ddelnano/packer-plugin-xenserver
but because of lack of ssh key support i changed the code a bit.
now i can use ssh keys. (not ready for a PR)

my problem is that inside the auto iso i use a shell script doing a reboot within the install.
the reason is that i use this iso also on bare metal installations, some software i cant install without doing a reboot.

i will now focus on the ansible integratian an fire the commands after the reboot using ansible.
this might work.

Hi Oliver,

I’ve been experimenting with Terraform — I can create a VM and boot it using my autoinstall ISO, but unfortunately, most other things aren’t working as expected.

So I gave Packer a try instead.

With Packer, I can successfully create a VM, mount the ISO, and perform the installation.

At the moment, I’m stuck trying to reliably detect when the VM installation is actually finished — I’m currently working on a script to solve that.

Out of curiosity: how do you handle the Xen Orchestra appliance installation?

Here’s what I’m aiming for:

We want to generate a custom VM image for our clients to import into different hypervisors (VMware, Xen, XCP-ng, Hyper-V, VirtualBox).

My current workflow and progress:

Generate autoinstall ISO with custom config — DONE

Create VM, mount ISO, perform install, and detect when installation is complete — NOT WORKING YET

Shut down the VM — DONE

Export VM as an OVA template — DONE

Convert that export to other formats for common hypervisors — DONE

Upload final images to our storage for delivery to clients — DONE

The goal is to fully automate the process — like a CI/CD pipeline for VM images.

Right now, I’m able to do nearly everything except reliably detecting when the VM installation is finished.

hi
i am struggling with the api.

can i do the following using api?:

1. Create a VM using ubuntu 22X. template

• define the following:
  -) CPU, Ram, bios, network interface and iso i want to use for install

then it should start vm creation and run my iso (its a autoinstall iso)

i was able to make it work using packer but packer plugin is quit old and not really mantained...

Hi do i need to patch my xenserver using AMD EPYC ? Those patches get offered to my AMD nodes by XO.
On intel Xeon nodes it makes sense to me ....
