  • RE: Installation: expecting an rsa key, any plans to support elliptic curve keys?

    That's actually a question for @Team-XAPI-Network

  • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

    @gduperrey said in XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing:

    Since it doesn't indicate that an updated 8.2 is actually 8.2.1, only the major version is displayed.

    Not a very good example actually 😄 (but what's true is that for 8.2 we didn't add a "LTS" mention next to the version number in the system either).

    But yes, we decided not to increment the version number for XCP-ng 8.3.0. That breaks compatibility with some third party software because they wouldn't recognize a "8.3.1".

    However we're working on a secondary version identifier that would allow you to know your precise patch level.

  • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

    @gb.123 Yes. If you think it's not clear in the blog post, I'll think how I can word it.

    Current wording:

    This announcement does not represent a new release. It applies to the existing XCP-ng 8.3.

    If you're already running XCP-ng 8.3, you're on the LTS version. There's no need for a full upgrade. Standard package updates will keep your system current.

  • RE: XCP-ng 8.2 updates announcements and testing

    New update candidates for you to test!

    A new batch of non-urgent updates is ready for user tests before a future collective release.

    • openssh: Fix low priority CVE-2025-26465 DoS attack when VerifyHostKeyDNS is "yes" or "ask" (The Default value has not changed: "no")
    • samba: Fix vulnerabilities which are very unlikely to be exploitable on XCP-ng but are reported by security scanners.
    • xcp-ng-release: This update adds a certificate to resolve a TLS handshake error, particularly when deploying XOA from CLI using curl.

    Test on XCP-ng 8.2

    From an up to date host:

    yum clean metadata --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
    yum update --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing
    reboot
    

    The usual update rules apply: pool coordinator first, etc.

    No specific steps for these updates for XOSTOR users.

    Versions

    • openssh: 7.4p1-23.3.2.xcpng8.2
    • samba: 4.10.16-25.el7_9
    • xcp-ng-release: 8.2.1-16

    What to test

    Normal use and anything else you want to test. The closer to your actual use of XCP-ng, the better.

    Test window before official release of the updates

    None defined, but early feedback is always better than late feedback, which is in turn better than no feedback 🙂

    You probably saw it, but just in case: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2025/06/16/xcp-ng-8-3-is-now-lts/

    Today marks several important updates for XCP-ng 8.3. In a nutshell:

    • It officially becomes a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, as previously announced when it was first released on October 7th, 2024.
    • We are releasing updated installation images ("ISOs") that include installer improvements and all updates published since the original release.
    • XOSTOR, our hyperconverged storage solution powered by LINSTOR, is now officially supported on XCP-ng 8.3.
    • A new, dedicated upgrade ISO is available to support upgrading from an 8.2 pool that includes a XOSTOR storage repository.
  • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 updates announcements and testing

    The above issue is solved in packages that we haven't released as an update yet, that @Andrew tested.
