    @poddingue I'm using XOA 6.2.2. Unfortunately not able to update at the moment. Which reminds me of another thing. Where is there release information for the XOA XVA itself? When I login to my account, there is only the download button but no information on what version it is. [image: image.jpeg] I would like to know when a new version is published and a changelog for it. When I import the current XVA it is tagged with 2025.12 [image: image.jpeg]

    I ran into the same problem with DR replicas. Ignoring VMs by tag would solve the problem, but so would excluding the ip address information.

    @bug-meister Ah. That's cloud-init's support for templating user-data. The issue is that with these templates you only have access to the info available inside the VM itself. No outside data can be used for templating unless it is somehow passed to the VM (inject a file, set xenstore values...)

    @KimmoJ I wonder how much you pays to Vmware? + Probably you have to pay also to your backup software...

    @rochemike sorry for the late reply! If we already have an ISO on an SR, do we even need to mount the ISO for a network build of Centos/RHEL? Isn't... shouldn't it be possible for the ISO to be mounted by the new build VM as source for creating the new VM, instead of using network build? That is exactly what packer-plugin-xenserver#56 accomplishes. The new VM mounts the guest tools to the DVD - which I don't even want to use as I prefer to install a package afterwards. Is it possible to mount the RHEL/Centos ISO instead? I believe the ISO and guest tools are treated the same -- both VBDs are attached as cds. If you can identify what is different about them in the UI or from the xe cli that would help me understand what you trying to describe. As for what is possible, if what you want to configure is accessible via the XCP-ng / Xenserver API the packer plugin could be enhanced to perform that action. Hope this helps explain more on the potential possibilities.

    @dredge999 yeah in hindsight thats what I should have done I wonder if I can restore the config files and have the VM operational again. It's more getting it to stop now without a host restart

    @Flying9167 It's indeed not possible at this to filter which users are allowed to sign in with XO auth plugins. At this time it should be handled at the authentication provider itself and it does not look like GitHub OAuth implementation supports it.

    @olivierlambert its custom config, not any bug. Ill point it out what i mean below. I have standard ubuntu template -> I would like my vm to be already customize, when its created, because its faster and easier when everything is in one place -> So for that i have created cloud-init for eg.-> #cloud-config hostname: <hostname> package_update: true package_upgrade: true write_files: - path: /etc/ssl/certs/mydomain.crt content: | <certificate data> - path: /etc/ssl/private/mydomain.key content: | <private key data> runcmd: - apt-get update - DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get upgrade -y So my main problem is that this, particular cloud-init has fixed <certificate data> and <private key data>, that i would like to not be passed as a plain text, because it is a secret. To me its not done (for now) with best practices, but its very comfortable. So finally, i am wondering what is the best solution, for not putting secrets as a plain text, but rather keep them as a secret. I could create templates and later delete cloud-config with those data, but it would be more flexible, if there would be any chance to connect it to Hashicorp Vault or something that will dynamically fetch secrets.

    @julien-f I just wanted to update and let you know that whatever changes you made fixed the issue for me permanently! I have been able to routinely update since that time and have had no further issues. Thanks for all of your hard work, Julien-f!

    FWIW I just got bit by this same thing, spending half a day yesterday kicking the wall. I think I got about 2/3 of the way just by trial and error on the cert's. Would love to see this doc'd with the proper method, using an in-house local CA (not a public CA).
