    I have configured OIDC-Plugin to integrate PING Federate which will connect to AD for user and group mapping. AD authentication and PINGID Token working as expected but getting Internal server error at last with below cli logs in XO Expected values to be strictly equal: actual - expected 'undefined' 'string'

    @jkatz I ran into the same issue when trying to configure a network adapter with cloudbase-init. The documentation says that the MAC address value is optional but in reality it is required. In my case I want Xen Orchestra to choose a unique MAC during deployment, and I since I am deploying from a template, the NIC name is a known value. The fix that ended up working for me was to modify the networkconfig.py file in cloudbase-init so that the NIC name is required and the MAC address is optional. I ended up making some additional changes to allow for the network-config v2 format along with the existing v1 support and some additional logic to aid in setting the dns search domains (I can't recall if this was originally supported or not but I had issues getting it to work with the original networkconfig.py file) This file needs to replace the existing one that is installed in the C:\Program Files\Cloudbase Solutions\Cloudbase-Init\Python\Lib\site-packages\cloudbaseinit\plugins\common\ directory. To replace it you should make sure that the cloudbase-init service is stopped, then replace the file. Once this file is replaced, delete the pycache folder in the same parent folder as networkconfig.py - this will ensure that python recompiles this file on service start. Start the cloudbase-init service and confirm that you see a new pycache get created. I'm not a python programmer by trade so others may be able to point out areas for improvement but this ended up working for me and I wanted to share in case it could help others needing to deploy new servers without manually specifying a new MAC address. Below is an example network-config v2 format that works with the updated file. version: 2 ethernets: Ethernet 2: dhcp4: false addresses: - 10.20.30.10/24 nameservers: addresses: - 10.20.5.12 - 10.20.5.13 - 10.20.5.14 search: - intranet.domain.org - domain.org - public-domain.org routes: - to: default via: 10.20.30.1 Updated networkconfig.py file: networkconfig.py.txt

    @manilx I have proposed to the IaC team of Vates, a MCP Server for Vates VMS. Which can be used by GitHub Copilot or similar, if used when doing IaC etc.

    This is the date get from XAPI. If it was migrated from another host, you have the first time it was visible for this XAPI.

    @olivierlambert I was not, and cert is invalid, but when I override I get the same result. I will fix the cert and try again.

    I thought I did that. Oh I see whats happening. My cold moves are freaking out. The first time, I restarted the toolstack for the server I was working on the # of tasks dropped by 50% or so. as soon as I tried my cold move of a VM again, im up to 50-60 tasks again. Going from Xen 7.1 to XCP 7.6. and a Xeon 2630 V3 to a 2620 V0. Which I know is a bad idea, hence the cold move.

    You have a transparent proxy, it does not hide its identity, so web resources see that the request is not coming directly from the user but from the proxy. In addition, the real IP address is also visible, so there is no anonymity. Usually, educational institutions use this type of server to filter incoming and outgoing content and cache information. It's better to use thailand proxy, which will encrypt you from the inside.

    Not sure yet if it has to do with me deleting one template to try... However, the duplicated templates have disappear after the update of XOA to 5.74.3! Maybe a restart of the service would have achieved the same!? At the end, it seems to come from XOA rather than the pool. I suggest to remove and add the master from the server settings to see if this does not clean up something in the cache/DB on XOA...

    @florent Yes, thanks! We have very limited control over rsync at our end (as it's running within a Synoloy NAS) - I think we probably have to just live with large transfers for now - whilst looking at spit files / VHD's as the way to go in the future. Thanks again!

    @AtaxyaNetwork Thanks for your guidance. I can create a lightweight Debian VM with an NFS share for the ISOs. But even so it is strange that the drive is not known by the XO. Maybe other people can comment on this later.

    @furyflash777 I'm assuming you're on Ubuntu? Indeed as Olivier said this is tested on Debian and doesn't cause issues, but it seems on the newer Ubuntu versions with cloud-init, the new Netplan based network manager and how it interacts with cloud-init breaks/gets wiped if no cloud-init drive is found. Yet another cloud-init bug to track down

    Hi, "It depends" is the answer here Depends on: the number of concurrent users on your XO instance the size/frequency/number of backup jobs you have the number of hosts and VMs managed by XO Frankly, for a small setup (less than 4/5 hosts) with one users and few backup jobs, the default 2vCPU/2GiB RAM is enough. Especially since we improved various process to happen in a dedicated worker
