    Is a centralized XOA server "managing" two remote Proxy-fronted XCP clusters supported with the SDN Controller Plugin? We are looking to deploy an architecture similar to this blog post from 2022: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-proxy-a-concrete-guide/

    @florent Unfortunately I'm not able to connect logs and such until tomorrow. But I can share further info on the configs. The backup type is Delta. NBD is activated and reachable The SR on the source drive is local Target SR is truenas nfs. Transfers are as expected. Starting with the commits on 27th. These infos and fallback to full started happening. They have not been seen before. Resulting in transfers becoming 300% larger than expected. All vdi are vhd I compile from source almost daily. Hence me being very certain this is due to recent commits. Info warning and fallback is happening even after second attempt after latest updates as well. So issue persists between reboots as well. Is there a vates upload service I can upload to? Or if we reset my XO trial, I can open a support tunnel for you

    Hello I'm pulling stats for all VMs to understand CPU usage. We're a bit behind the curve in terms of XO versions, but these questions hopefully are still relevant. If using a granularity of days, the interval is set to 86400 (understandably) but the endTimestamp varies. Running this on June 9th @ ~1740 we get timestamps for both Mon Jun 8 01:00:00 AM BST 2026 and Tues Jun 9 01:00:00 AM BST 2026. Does this average across the day? Why is the timestamp 0100? Why would there be different timestamps between VMs (all are running) and does that mean that the figures are misaligned in the results? These are retrieved via curl and a bash script, a bit hacky, but for clarity the request is: ++ curl -X GET -s -H accept:application/json -b authenticationToken=[[REDACTED]] -o [[REDACTED]] 'https://[[REDACTED]]/rest/v0/vms/[[REDACTED]]/stats?granularity=days' Really keen to know if we can control the start and endtime, as well as provide a manual interval, as well as the aggregation strategy (min, max, average). Are any of these possible? Lastly, is cpuUsage the percentage as per the dashboard, but averaged over all CPUs? Thanks so much in advance. James

    New releases! Terraform Provider Xen Orchestra v0.40.0 This new release allows users to import VMs directly from Xen Orchestra into Terraform without recreating it or modifying manually the Terraform state. There is still some drift when importing it, but nothing that changes the real state of VM and we are currently on it! https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/releases/tag/v0.40.0 Golang SDK for Xen Orchestra v1.17.0 v2 The network service is now available from the v2 client! You can now create, get and delete your network directly from it! v1 & v2 The template value in VM struct params has been fixed, We can now get the template id directly from it. https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-go-sdk/releases/tag/v1.17.0

    @kevdog said in HTTP to HTTPS redirection: @nikade Hey thanks for for the link. I ended up just using a LetsEncrypt cert rather than self signed. I think had to add a DNS host override on my router to associate the Local LAN address of the xo server with the domain name of the server contained in the certificate -- Like 10.0.1.50 ---> xo.example.com. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction on this one. Yeah that is a good solution as well, I hope this helps others in the future who wants to secure their XO with https

    @eangulus You can always create a CLUSTER with shares storage. Problem solved. It is even possible to create cluster using two nodes - using HA-Lizard.

    XOA Delta Backup rename files?

    @olivierlambert One question to the additional added resource. I have added my cloudbackup server via VPN and NFS share to XOA. This works well, but I see that the local backup on the NAS is throttled down to the speed of the VPN upload tunneln. Is this behaviour correct? You know from the other Post, that I have struggels with the "cloudbackup" server. So if the transfer to the VPN-NFS share is interrupted also the transfer to the local NAS fails. Is it possible to add two daily (or every second day alternating) delta backup-jobs for a single vm? One saves the backup to local NAS and the other one to the vpn nfs share? Will the chains be consistent? Thank you for your advice, dmartini1337

    +1 for avoiding 3rd party install scripts, the official install doc is like, 10 commands? I think it takes maybe 10 minutes or less the last time I did it on a fresh debian system, and you know it's always the correct instructions (which is NOT the case with 3rd party scripts, as you'll see in this forum when even the slightest architectural change is made to the XO sources). You also get to learn at least a little bit about the architecture of what you're installing and running instead of pressing go on a script you grabbed from some guy's github and hoping the XO web interface appears. I thought the whole point of "homelab" (for which sources are intended and primarily used) was learning and developing skills in the first place? No disrespect intended to the people that create and maintain said scripts, it just seems to me like it bypasses the point of sources a little bit

    Indeed, this was an issue only hitting master (and XOA latest branch). This is now solved (see https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues/4565 ). Note those are kind of features are usually utilized in corporate environment. What's your use case out of curiosity?

    I think we could have: real duration for past jobs just a "dot" or vertical bar for the start of next jobs (so you'll know when they'll start, but we can't predict the duration) ideally, in live, the current updated Gantt of live backup tasks

    Try creating a directory within that share as root and then chown -R nobody:nogroup folder/ After doing so you should be able to mount /path/to/your/share/folder

    Yes, in this case it will be "live storage motion" (ie migrating with the storage, because you don't have a shared storage). Note that you should add the server to the pool first, and then only add VMs on local storage. Because when you add a new host to a pool, all the existing storage/VMs will be removed (VMs on the new hosts)

    Thanks. I guessed that I needed to put the full path on FreeNAS as there is not masking when expose as NSF by FreeNAS. So I put the full path as "/mnt/MybooksVolume/VM_ISOs" and that seems to have fixed the problem.
