@olivierlambert
I agree with probain and Forza: the Nord theme looks great - i would love to see this added to XO6

@ph7 If we answered your other messages, most likely we have it in our backlog. But just to make sure we're not missing anything, you can indeed put the links here and we'll check them. Thanks again!

I found another link that isn't completely fixed
https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10613/suspicius-presentation-of-time-in-backup/
It's not only concerning XO6 but also XO5 and XCP-ng

In thin provisioning It would be nice to have info about a VMs actual use of disk space
#Disk Space
46 (73) GB

[acebmxer]

This might have something to do with the script i have been using up till now to update XO-CE but just to document here.

Master, commit 7cf97

XOA v5 links not working...

[christopher-petzel]

@acebmxer I was just creating a post on this myself. I believe this is because /v5 doesn't exist without building it from sources, in the same way that previously you had to build /v6 separately when v5 was the default.

The /v5 tries to load /v5/rest/v0/gui-routes but gets a 500 error

Based on the API documentation, /gui-routes seems to be an XOA thing, so XO from sources won't have it without a separate build?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I saw now that it's implemented under the VM tab, but it would nice to also have it under

[acebmxer]

@ph7
My used space does not add up to actual used space in vm.

@acebmxer
I think that the disk file don't shrink automatically.
You probably had something in there that has been deleted

[acebmxer]

@ph7

So question what happens when i thinks the vm disk is full? When will it clear up? Only thing i can think of was coping 13gb veeam ISO over few times testing things and stuff. but that has been a while now.

[ph7]

@acebmxer
If I remember correctly, if You migrate the VDI to another SR , it will be shrinked.
But I don't know for shure

No, it will not. You can create a new vdi and move the files over manually.

[acebmxer]

@Forza its the only disk for vm the drive for windows. Reinstall windows... NO...

@ph7 VM was already moved to a new SR.

Other windows VM. I Have not looked at my work production environment yet, or linux vms.

With XO from source if I put config.mounts.toml into /etc/xo-server/ I have to provide absolute paths instead of relative ones

In my case

[http.mounts]
'/v6' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'
'/' = '../xo-web/dist/'

doesn't work.

But

[http.mounts]
'/v6' = '/opt/xen-orchestra/@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'
'/' = '/opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-web/dist/'

work.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Are you in UTC+1? This one might simply be because the VM's name shows the UTC time while, in the tables, we convert dates to your actual timezone.

@acebmxer, @ph7 said in ️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!:

We're actually in the middle of improving how sizes are measured in general: SRs (thin/thick), VDIs, snapshots, chains of VDIs, transfered vs used vs allocated size, etc.

We're still fixing a few things regarding this. It will most likely be fixed very soon

Both should work. Do you start xo-server in any specific way?

Yes, I'm in CET, UTC+1 and 24h
Yes the Cont.Rep. VMs show UTC. During summertime, it was 2h off.
Its just cosmetics, not "urgent", but still in AM/PM

These are also still in AM/PM

• Snapshots
• backup jobs that run the Sequences schedule
• The next run in job-schedule

[ph7]

Commit 035ee in dashboard
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to show a Backup issue every time a Cont.rep. job is run

It would be more or less a static feature for somebody who run Cont rep frequently. and as a consequence won't react when a proper alert should be displayed

@olivierlambert I may be a rarity in IT these days, but for most apps, I use Light Mode. v5 was good. I think the blue sidebar and gray top bar made it workable. v6 is painfully white. I'm not fond of the purple on black Dark Mode either. If we could just make the screen less bright than the sun, Light Mode would be great.

In a few places the grid column headers aren't really differentiated from the rest of the grid. For example, at the XOA level in the Pools tab. It looks like the first pool is called "Pool" when that is the column header. Maybe use the light purple that you have for the selected tab above?

Overall, I'm really liking the new interface.

Thanks!

I run these kinds of backup jobs

• Full Backup x2
• Delta backup
• Continuous Replication
• XO Config and Metadata

In ContRep, Conf/meta and in one of the Full Backup jobs I get Report when Never

But they are enabled in XO5 with mail address and Report when Skipped and failure
