    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

    Hi, Audit logs aren't in the same location than the xo-server logs. To get Audit logs you can use this command xo-cli audit.getRecords which returns an array of records. xo-cli audit.getRecords This command has an option ndjson, which allows you to export logs in a ndjson format. xo-cli audit.getRecords ndjson="json:true" @=<outputPath>

    @Rocky most like a connection issue, but since you already restarted I think the logs are already gone. If it was a one-off I wouldn't worry about it (but do make sure that the backup is actually working, may be a good idea to do another full backup).

    XO debian 10 cloud ready VM template (cloud-init)

    I was able to find the reason XO is not working with cloud-init. XO attaches iso with the cloud-config data as additional disk xvdb and it does not work. But if you provide it as a cd? It will. That is why - as for now you will need to create your own iso and attach it as a cd-rom. You do that this way: Get your files ready (meta-data network-config user-data). My examples below: metadata: instance-id: local-nocloud local-hostname: myhost.example.com network-config: network: version: 1 config: - type: physical name: eth0 subnets: - type: static address: 10.0.0.5/24 gateway: 10.0.0.254 - type: nameserver address: - 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4 search: - example.com - type: physical name: eth1 subnets: - type: static address: 192.168.0.5/24 user-data: #cloud-config ### RUN CMD runcmd: - /usr/bin/apt -y install mc - /usr/bin/date >> /root/testfile # set system default user system_info: default_user: name: testuser gecos: Default Cloud User # password auth - comment out if not using passwords password: testpassword ssh_pwauth: true chpasswd: { expire: false } # do some package management #package_update: true packages: - iptraf - mtr - screen - net-tools - atop Generate iso genisoimage -output myiso.iso -volid cidata -joliet -rock user-data meta-data network-config Upload iso to XO home -> storage -> iso's -> disks -> new disk Prepare VM/template Install Debian 10.6 with xo-tools install cloud-init and cloud-initramfs-growroot remove all network configuration leave just "allow-hotplug ethxxx" (network config will be added in /etc/network/interfaces/50-cloud-init. It will not overwrite yours) shutdown the machine and create the template if you want or just restart VM. DO NOT LET IT BOOT! - keep it in grub. attach your iso let it run It will do whatever you need on the machine.

    @olivierlambert said in Detached Backups: You can do that already if you like (combined rolling snap and delta backup). But what's the point? Oh, wow. You can combine backup methods in the same job (as long as they are compatible methods (i.e. Delta and CR). This is cool. I currently have separate jobs for my deltas and CRs. I'll need to make time to make the changes, but this will simply things greatly. I'll even throw in a few extra snapshots to retain. So, yea, this is pretty much what I was thinking of. I didn't realize it was there. Why would I need this? Well, when my WSUS installed the Xen drivers on all my Windows VMs, I went a day before realizing what happened. A snapshot would have been sufficient, if I had one from the day before. Instead, I restored the backup which broke the chain. @olivierlambert said in Detached Backups: edit: about your previous question, restoring without breaking the chain. That might be possible. In theory, after restore, we should take a snapshot before booting the backup and then re-link the restored VM to the backup folders. It's doable (renaming some folders correctly) but I'm not sure this will be very useful. I'll look into this when I get some time. Thanks.

    That's precisely the difference: a delta backup is stored in a remote, a CR is stored in an SR.
