    • XCP-ng issue 1: closed!

      This is not just a powerful symbolic thing: by closing issue n°1, we are really reaffirming our independance and our capacity to build everything without using any binary provided by Citrix.

      It's really a great news for XCP-ng's future!

    • 2 weeks break for me

      Hey everyone,

      Just to let you know I'm finally taking a 2 weeks break, and it's really needed 😆 (thanks Broadcom for the extra work those last months 👼 )

      I will make sure that everyone with admin powers will review often the registration waiting list. For the rest, it's up to you, the community, to demonstrate you can help each other without having me around. I don't doubt it, but I wanted to tell you why you won't see me for the next 2 weeks 😉

      Enjoy and see you then!

    • New XCP-ng documentation!

      https://xcp-ng.org/docs/

      It's far from being complete, but it's a great first step in improving XCP-ng existing documentation and also visibility/credibility!

      Everyone can still contribute (link on the bottom of each page), even if it's a bit more difficult than the wiki.

      Let me know what you think about it 🙂

      What about the wiki? We'll probably to continue to have very specific content there, and "promote" content to the doc if it "fits" for enough people.

    • RE: French government initiative to support

      Maybe it wasn't clear? French gov won't do anything in the project, they just support it as a research and dev project boosting innovation, and indirectly contributing to create more jobs that can't be replicated easily elsewhere.

      There's no "control" on how we decide to do the R&D, as long as we put resources into it as we said.

      XCP-ng is a free and community project, and everybody who want to contribute can do it. There's no "link" between us and any government.

    • Merging XO forum here

      To avoid splitting the community, we'll merge XO forum in this category. It seems not possible (or very not trivial) to fetch the previous XO threads here, so we'll probably have a transition time until we redirect directly XO forum URL toward this category directly.

    • RE: EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end (New Maintainer!)

      Thanks for all your work @borzel ! We are doing our best to improve our capacity to quickly review and structure external contribution in XO Lite: we are currently working on a dedicated CONTRIBUTING.md with links to the Figma UX design and such, so everything can be developed in the open to everyone.

    • RunX: tech preview

      RunX tech preview

      What is RunX?

      See https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2021/09/14/runx-next-generation-secured-containers/ for more details.

      Do I need it?

      If you want to test high level of security with your containers, yes. Or if you like to play with shiny new techs and report bugs 😉

      How to test it

      ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠
      THIS IS A TECH PREVIEW
      ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠ ⚠

      It's not meant to run in production. Play with it in your lab, not in production. You have been warned 😛

      Follow the next section.

      Installation

      1. Create the repo, install packages + restart toolstack.

      Create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/xcp-ng-runx.repo with:

      [xcp-ng-runx]
      name=XCP-ng runx Repository
      baseurl=http://mirrors.xcp-ng.org/8/8.2/runx/x86_64/ http://updates.xcp-ng.org/8/8.2/runx/x86_64/
      enabled=1
      gpgcheck=1
      repo_gpgcheck=1
      gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-xcpng
      

      Then, install all the packages:

      yum install --enablerepo=epel -y qemu-dp xenopsd xenopsd-cli xenopsd-xc xcp-ng-xapi-storage runx
      yum install --enablerepo="base,extras" docker podman
      xe-toolstack-restart
      

      2. Create a 9p SR

      mkdir runx-sr
      mkdir -p /root/runx-sr
      xe sr-create type=fsp name-label=runx-sr device-config:file-uri=/root/runx-sr
      

      3. Create a VM template

      You must create a VM template with the desired amount of ram an the number of cores to use. Make sure the vm type is: PV.
      It's not necessary to add disk to this VM.

      4. Modify the runx config

      Open /etc/runx.conf and modify these variables: SR_UUID and TEMPLATE_UUID.

      5. Start a VM.

      With Podman

      Using podman:

      podman pull archlinux
      podman container create --name archlinux archlinux
      podman start archlinux
      

      With Docker

      With docker:

      • Use previous commands and replace podman with docker.
      • Also you must start the docker daemon using an empty bridge using docker -b none.

      Feedback

      Please test and report any problem 🙂

    • RE: Error importing a VM exported from XCP 8.3 to XCP 8.3

      That's the reason, then. The update will update files on the disk, not on what's running in memory, so after updates you must reboot to actually use those updates

    • RE: What metadata restore really do?

      Hi @kagbasi-ngc,

      The "VM Lacks Feature" message typically means the VM is missing a functional agent required for migration, so it's likely not related to the load balancer.

      To keep things clear and easier to follow, I suggest opening a separate thread for unrelated issues. It helps us stay focused and makes it easier to assist everyone effectively.

      Regarding XO reconnecting: this behavior can occur if previous host connection details are still present in the configuration. Since Xen Orchestra doesn’t perform any kind of autodiscovery, this usually points to a misconfiguration—most often when multiple hosts from the same pool are added manually under Settings > Servers.

      Lastly, about the related topic you mentioned—yes, the certificate is likely the root cause of that particular issue.

      Hi,

      In that case, it's better to use mirror backup, with a different schedule

    • RE: VM UUID via dmidecode does not match VM ID in xen-orchestra

      Can you use another way than dmidecode to fetch the UUID? Because it's not the right way to get VM UUID (instead you should use xenstore read with the UUID key
