    We are trying to use the OIDC auth plugin to enable login to our Xen Orchestra without local accounts. We registered a client with our identity provider and got a client id, client secret and the auto-discovery url. That we used to configure the plugin. However, if we login we get redirected back from the identity provider to the XO callback url and receive then an "Internal Server Error" The callback URL is as follow: https://xoa.domain.com/signin/oidc/callback?state=STRING&scope=profile+openid&code=STRING&iss=https://identity-provider.url&client_id=XXXXX In the log file we see then the following 4 lines: mrt 25 12:29:25 vm-xoa xo-server[2618522]: Expected values to be strictly equal: mrt 25 12:29:25 vm-xoa xo-server[2618522]: + actual - expected mrt 25 12:29:25 vm-xoa xo-server[2618522]: + 'undefined' mrt 25 12:29:25 vm-xoa xo-server[2618522]: - 'string' If we change both the username field and the scope to email, we get the same Internal Server Error, but with a different single log line: mrt 25 13:18:04 vm-xoa xo-server[2618522]: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0') Because we are getting redirected back from our identity provider to Xen Orchestra we guess that the issue is not there. We also get in the browser a SAML response with the userdata. Running a wireshark on the server shows also traffic between Xen Orchestra and the identity provider, but unfortunately we cannot look in the contents of that traffic stream. Setting the log level to debug does unfortunately not produce more (error) output. We are running Xen Orchestra with commit c3dcb and the auth-oidc (v0.4.2) plugin Is there an other way to figure out what is going wrong?

    We currently perform: hourly CR during business hours - retention 15 daily full CR at 8 pm (full) - retention 1 I am happy with this; however, I am not 100% sure how best to manage the offsite backups. We currently perform: Daily Delta at 8 pm I wanted to add to this: 2) a weekly full backup - retention 8 3) a monthly full backup - retention 12 My question is, how can I schedule these three so they do not conflict with each other? can run Mon-Thurs at 8pm can run Fri at 8pm (usually takes 3 days to complete a full offsite) will conflict with 2

    Version 1.4.0 is released: https://codeberg.org/NiXOA/system/releases/tag/v1.4.0 It includes significant changes and improvements, including: dedicated getting started section, migration to valkey, only needing to clone system, and helper scripts. the xen-orchestra-ce nixpkg now references the libvhdi nixpkg, and the core flake now references and pulls from the xen-orchestra-ce repo as an overlay. System (the user input flake) now uses the Core repo as an overlay, reducing the need to clone both locally AND allowing system to pull new updates and releases from core. XO, and libvhdi as needed. The next goal is: Make an xsconsole-like TUI Automate package updates for libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce using CI/CD pipelines Submit libvhdi and xen-orchestra-ce as official nixpkgs

    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!

    @olivierlambert Refreshing the status log and updating a second time retrieves/installs more updates. After that: The '+ New' menu button appears in the menu on the left side of the window! Thank you! Eric P. Reno, Nevada

    @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

    @lawrencesystems We added the healthcheck for full backup (here : https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/6401 ) Also we removed our js smb implementation ( https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/commit/b50e95802c6a876d4e6ffd0c62c209a187b1bfb2 ) to try to circumvent the strange samba comportment fbeauchamp opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra closed fix(backups): add healthcheck to full backup #6401 0 julien-f committed to vatesfr/xen-orchestra feat(fs): remove JS based SMB handler It's not well tested nor maintained.

    There's no black magic As @ronivay said, you need to tell the filesystem inside your VM that the disk grew. On Cloudinit-enabled VM, there's an auto-grow parameter that is checking at each boot if the disk was extended, and will automatically do it for you. But again, that's inside the VM. Keep in mind: it's not the job of the virtualization system to deal with what's inside the VM

    @olivierlambert Thanks for that information, will use it next time I run into the issue. Before I read your above reply, I was poking around and noticed that the only SR I had added was disconnected, somehow. So I researched into it and discovered that this was my own doing. Without going into too much detail, I had converted my Active Directory environment from a Zentyal server to a Windows Server and I was hosting the SMB share on the old domain controller. So I had made a DNS error which was causing the SR to not be reachable from the XCP-ng host. So I deleted the SR and recreated it and viola I was able to create the VM. Honestly, I'm not sure how the two are connected since I'm not storing any disks on this SR; I only use it for ISOs which I mount into the newly created VM to install an OS and then I eject it. Long story short, my problem is solved but I'm still confused as to how it happened.

    @mjtbrady compression is used ( brotli, fastest mode by default) There is a problem on the size reported especially with encryption. I will add a task to the backlog to fix it (there is padding with encryption, that complexify the maths)
