@koushik you have to use the Helm controller addons for RKE2 to deploy autmatically the Helm chart for the Xen Orchestra CCM with the field spec.bootstrap set to true: Field | Default | Description -------------------------------------------------- `spec.bootstrap` | `false` | Set to True if this chart is needed to bootstrap the cluster (Cloud Controller Manager, etc) EDIT: I wrote a wiki page with what I've tested https://github.com/vatesfr/xenorchestra-cloud-controller-manager/wiki/Rancher-RKE2

@afk I’ve got two draft nixpkgs for libvhdi and Xen orchestra from sources respectively, I’ll look into submitting them upstream soon but take a look and feel free to share any feedback xen-orchestra-ce libvhdi.

@hoerup Dang, how did I miss that. Thanks and my apologies! Graham

@nathanael-h I have not yet tried the XO CSI driver, if I do I will leave feedback on the relevant thread. (I found the one started in 2025 November)

Edit: For anyone with this issue, stopping and starting the Openmetrics plugin after saving the password in XO fixed it. I keep getting the {"error":"Query authentication does not match server setting"} problem, is there something I'm missing? I run XO proxied through Nginx with HTTPS, is there some additional config required to get it working? I have set the key with openssl rand -hex 32 and have verified that is saved correctly in the plugin, and that I am using the same key for curl. I am able to obtain the /health endpoint as expected, I just cannot obtain the full metrics, only returns that error. Command: curl --insecure -H "Authorization: Bearer mytoken" https://xo.mydomain.local/openmetrics/metrics XO commit: 91c5d I should note that running the command inside my Docker container returns only the error, including the health endpoint. Do I need to expose 9004?

@majorp93 I've updated and added a node.js-installation to the role. Targeting the LTS-24 version. I hope you find it to your liking.

Starting from Other install media with BIOS (not uefi) is the only combo that is working with Terraform

UPDATE Now on XCP-ng 8.3 and XO from sources I had no problems with Windows 11. Had problem Ubuntu Noble Numbat 24.04 base template failing to boot from disk when cloned using Terraform. Changing the base template to "Other install media" resolved the issue, and the Terraform-cloned VMs work fine. EDIT: Also has problems with base template Windows Server 2025.

@bvitnik Thank you for the great response. I have had great success with Terraform - great work. I'm not touching ocaml myself. And yes, Citrix... they are still above VMware/Broadcom on my list. But SMH. I keep promoting XCP-ng hoping some large companies take advantage of it. It's much more valuable to me than nautobot, for example.

Can you share how you created the template? And copy here the template object from xo-cli or the rest api: xo-cli list-objects type=VM-template id=<your_template_id>?

What is the output of the following command: cloud-init schema --system

This approach isn’t entirely foolproof since I can’t use a wildcard, and I don’t know how many disks will be attached to the VM. For now, it will never exceed two disks, so I can explicitly include both in the ignore_changes statement. That’s an acceptable solution for us. Thanks for your support.

@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 !

Excellent news! Thanks for the feedback

I created a GitHub issue to track this feature request: https://github.com/vatesfr/terraform-provider-xenorchestra/issues/378

Release v2.2.0 This new version introduces a new field, 'memory_min', for the VM resource and makes a slight change to the 'memory_max' field, which now sets both the dynamic and static maximum memory limits and providing better control of VM memory.
