    @paco On the stuck server, could you warm migrate the vms to one of the other hosts? Or could you shut down a VM at a time and cold migrate them? The second option is certainly not ideal, but maybe?

    Hi, Latest XOA, with fully patched XCP 8.3 here. I'm fiddling around again with NBD+CBT in backup jobs (was avoiding CBT for a time, to reliably control my backups and avoid unnecessary KEY points) in the context of THICK SRs to spare some space. I know that CBT is reset when migrating from one SR to another. But here is what I encounter : VM has no CBT enabled on its VDIs, it is on a SHARED SR in a pool of 3 hosts backup option changed for NBD+CBT, was only NBD before CBT is enabled on the next run by the backup job, I get a delta (was expecting a FULL ?) next run, delta, as expected i migrate this VM on another HOST, without changing its SR CBT is immediatly disabled ? why ?? next run of backup it tries a delta, but "fall back to a full" (normal as CBT has been disabled...), and do a KEY point on the remote next run is a delta as expected does this mean if I do a rolling pool update or host maintenance that will move the all VMs around, all CBT will be disabled and I should expect a FALL BACK TO FULL on all my NBD+CBT enabled backup jobs ??! why disabling CBT on a change of HOST and no move of SR ?

    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.
