So im playing around with a test-pool i've recently setup to try and get my skillset up to date with xcp-ng and xo due to the latest Broadcom VMware changes to their partnerprogram.
I haven't been using xcp-ng a lot lately, pretty much only in my homelab as well as a colo machine that has basically been running on its own for quite some time.
I went to do what I always do when setting up a new xcp-ng machine, to the update tab and noticed there are 70+ updates in line. Nothing strange with that, this is a brand new installation, so I press the update button and after a while im seeing this:
An error occurred while fetching the patches. Please make sure the updater plugin is installed by running `yum install xcp-ng-updater` on the host.
I didn't bother too much, maybe something just went wrong? I then went on to install the 2nd machine (Im setting up a POC of 8 xcp-ng hosts in total) and I did the same thing, just to see the exact same thing.
This time I went to the stats tab, just to notice that there is indeed some load on the machine, this lead me to ssh in to the host where I noticed that it is actually running yum to update:

Is this per design? Why didn't it just tell me something like "Update in progress % done" or something like that? This makes it very hard to know whats actually going on, unless you ssh to the box and check ps.
