    The problem with those providers is, that the additional IP is usually L3 routed to the physical hosts IP. A better solution would be to get a /29 subnet or similar, where the gateway is handled by the provider and then configure that subnet on a specific VLAN which is available on all hosts where you want the VM's to be able to run. More work for the provider, since they have to setup the gateway IP within the /29 subnet on their router and then configure the VLAN on the switchports towards your hosts, but its the best way to make the VM's agile.

    I was curious if there had been any updates to mounting ISOs via the API? Thanks.

    @sid It seems I have to get my hands dirty and take a deeper look into Terraform / OpenTofu. I am not shure how well the other folks at work partially will have fun working with commandline versus the easy to use XO web GUI. Tailoring down the CloudInit files used is not really the basic idea behind this. I was rather going the oposite way and install / configure the stuff we usually bake into our templates on the fly while generating the VM via CloudInit. Thanks a lot for all the responses !

    Hi I had exatly the same problem when I upgrade one of my four server from xenserver 7.1 to xcp-ng 8.0, one backup failed with error: job already running and the other finish normaly later! I upgrade Xo from 5.51 to 5.54 and it's Ok for this problem BUT I have a new problem, the cold backup to NFS and the Continuous replication to a Xcp-ng 8 server are REALLY slow !! One exemple: Start time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:20:00 am End time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:58:54 am Duration: 39 minutes Snapshot Start time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:20:00 am End time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:20:05 am Duration: a few seconds SRs Local storage (a70a93c4-4951-9bec-54ab-d45bb5039b44) ✔ Start time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:20:05 am End time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:58:52 am Duration: 39 minutes transfer ✔ Start time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:20:06 am End time: Thursday, December 19th 2019, 7:58:50 am Duration: 39 minutes Size: 1.34 GiB Speed: 605.55 KiB/s I try to upgrade debian OS, upgrade VM (4cpus 3Go ram) but same problem for the moment Thanks in advance Edit: I do a manual test by copy an iso of 2G locally on the virtual machine Xen orchestra, to the same connected NFS for backup, and the performance is normal, 10 seconds for 2Go, it seems to be a problem with Xen orchestra system backup?

    It's supported in XOA since 5.40 and all more recent releases. Just tick the checkbox and that's it

    @ruskofd said in Build from source question: Why not using a systemd unit instead of forever ? This is exactly what I did. Created a service file in etc/systemd/system that points back to the xo-server bin file.

    I'm not sure, I have not used cloud-init in centos. I'd imagine it's similar, you need to find the cloud-init config file in your centos template install, and edit it to prefer the nocloud datasource

    Restoring the whole VM is OK, because XO doesn't "look" inside the disk.

    Next thing I tried was Exporting the affected VM, delete it and import it again. This fails because after deleting the VM both VDIs / VHDs are still there. Also I can not delete them. The error says: [image: 1576141485072-f6ff6ad4-8a59-4424-9bb5-ff498f87989f-image.png]

    I'm not overly familiar with SAML, but our plugin is based on this: https://github.com/bergie/passport-saml Let us know if you find something relevant.

    So is there anyone who would be so kind to tell me whether it is worth it trying XOA instead of XOCE regarding workload balancing? Anyone who knows if there are differences?

    XO logs have repeating [load_balancer]Execute plans statement. Is this a problem?

    I think this is normal behavior when you have the Load Balancer plugin loaded. If you don't intend to use it, then unload it.

    Hi @akurzawa, this would be quite a big feature, please open an issue if you have something precise in mind (a list of possible actions, what could trigger a workflow, ideally some use cases that couldn't be done without it, etc.). Also, a lot can probably already be done with XO's Web Hooks, xo-cli and a third party workflow tool in between.

    XoError: no such host & Firefox crashing at Logs

    Tested with Chrome now, on chrome it works. So it seems only a firefox problem. I switched off the extensions ( https everywhere, ublock origin and privacy badger ) but still crashes. Had htop running on my client while crashing, no unusual increase in RAM usage while going to crash. Rebooted XO VM, now it is ok again with firefox. so for me the issue is closed, if somebody is bored and wants to look into some logs for bug hunting i am glad to provide them. i also restarted the toolstack on one of the pool members ( not master ) and the "no such host" error is gone.

    @sborrill I have a work-in-progress branch with a plugin for this: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/4701 To test, you will need to checkout this branch, add a symlink to the packages/xo-server-auth-http plugin into the directory xo-server/node_modules and then to configure and unable the plugin from XO. This will make basic authentication available with the path /signin/basic, note that you can make it the default authentication by overriding authentication.defaultSignInPage in your configuration file. julien-f opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra open WiP: feat(xo-server): support HTTP basic auth #4701

    Will do. I've got an installation of it in two locations and neither are behind a proxy. In a moment of early-onset senility/dementia I confused npm with dnf - somehow! So there's obviously a chance I'm doing something incorrectly.
