XO5 breaks after defaulting to XO6 (from source)

MathieuRA

@probain I will prepare a branch for a potential fix, so you can still use the 8443 port

Absolutely fantastic. I will test it as soon as possible to help out however I can.

Cheers!

Maybe this has something to do with the script i used to install xo but i can not get v6 to be the default. The links going from v6 to v5 work but just defaults to v5 and accessing. i use port 443 for xo and i do use a proxy.

from the config.toml file

[http.mounts]
164 # Uncomment to setup a default version.
165 # Otherwise, XO5 will be the default for stable channel and XO6 for latest and source
166 # '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'
167 
168 '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'
169 '/v6' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'
170 
171 [http.proxies]
172 # [port] is used to reuse the same port declared in [http.listen.0]
173 '/v5/api' = '[protocol]//localhost:[port]/api'
174 '/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
175 '/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:[port]/rest'

this config breaks everything. Nothing works.

[http.mounts]
164 # Uncomment to setup a default version.
165 # Otherwise, XO5 will be the default for stable channel and XO6 for latest and source
166 # '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'
167 
168 '/v6' = '../xo-web/dist/'
169 '/' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'
170 
171 [http.proxies]
172 # [port] is used to reuse the same port declared in [http.listen.0]
173 '/v5/api' = '[protocol]//localhost:[port]/api'
174 '/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
175 '/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:[port]/rest'

Original config

[http.mounts]
164 # Uncomment to setup a default version.
165 # Otherwise, XO5 will be the default for stable channel and XO6 for latest and source
166 # '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'

168 '/v5' = '../xo-web/dist/'
169 '/v6' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'

173 '/v5/api' = '[protocol]//localhost:[port]/api'
174 '/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
175 '/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:[port]/rest'

MathieuRA

@probain Thanks for your test

@acebmxer Can you try with the original config please?

MathieuRA

@acebmxer
The first configuration file you show exposes XO5 by default and exposes XO6 on the v6 endpoint
The second configuration file doesn't work because you expose XO5 on the v6 endpoint, but your proxies still point to v5 (changing your proxies to /v6/api, /v6/api/updater and /v6/rest should work, but it seems weird to expose XO5 on a v6 endpoint)
The original config exposes XO5 on v5, XO6 on v6 and /

@MathieuRA

Yeah i dont understand why this is not working or why it is working the way it is.

With this config below. Still defaults to v5 but links going to v6 and back to v5 work but defaults to v5. I do get a different login screen. I have also tried accessing via ip versus via proxy, same difference. I have tried to reach out to the creator of the script but waiting for their reply back.

Just update your config as bellow

[http.mounts]
164 # Uncomment to setup a default version.
165 # Otherwise, XO5 will be the default for stable channel and XO6 for latest and source
166 # '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'
167 
168 '/v5' = '../xo-web/dist/'  
169 '/' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'
170 
171 [http.proxies]
172 # [port] is used to reuse the same port declared in [http.listen.0]
173 '/v5/api' = '[protocol]//localhost:[port]/api'
174 '/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
175 '/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:[port]/rest'

I appriciate your assistance with this but broke everything.... no /v5 or /v6 responce.

Anyone using this script - https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater able to get this working with v6 as default?

Hey,

I am not using the XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater script by ronivay but the XO docker container made by the same author: https://github.com/ronivay/xen-orchestra-docker

When using a XO commit after XO 6 became the default all the links to XO 5 do not work anymore.
XO 6 is the default and appears to be working (at least the pages that have been ported to XO 6 already) but when trying to access XO 5 via url/v5 I get infinite loading / spinning wheel.

When following the official documentation steps for making XO 5 default (https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/configuration#making-xo-5-the-default-ui) I get the same issue that was already mentioned in this thread (error "Cannot get /").

By following the official documentation I mean applying the following:

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

[http.proxies]
'/v5/api' = 'ws://localhost:9000/api'
'/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
'/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:9000/rest'

I tried this using latest commit (d9fe9b603fa9c8d668fa90486ae12fe7ad49b257).

For now I had to revert to the commit before XO 6 was made the default.

P.S. (in case this is related): I enabled SSL encryption by setting the following in XO configuration:

[http]
redirectToHttps = true

[[http.listen]]
port = 443
autoCert = true
cert = '/cert.pem'
key = '/cert.key'

@acebmxer Can you provide me with the logs from xo-server at its launch?

MathieuRA

@MajorP93 various fixes have been performed on master.

Your config file should look like this

[http.mounts]
# Uncomment to setup a default version.
# Otherwise, XO5 will be the default for stable channel and XO6 for latest and source
# '/' = '../xo-web/dist/'

'/v5' = '../xo-web/dist/'
'/v6' = '../../@xen-orchestra/web/dist/'

[http.proxies]
# [port] is used to reuse the same port declared in [http.listen.0]
'/v5/api' = '[protocol]//localhost:[port]/api'
'/v5/api/updater' = 'ws://localhost:9001'
'/v5/rest' = 'http://localhost:[port]/rest'

If you are using a different configuration file that overrides the default configuration, please verify that the paths to xo-5 and xo-6 are correct. You can use absolute paths if necessary.

@acebmxer Can you provide me with the logs from xo-server at its launch?

Here you go. I made the changes you last suggested to me then I did a restart - sudo systemctl restart xo-server

before change-log.txt
after change-log.txt

Let me know if i did that correctly or if you need more information.

MathieuRA

@acebmxer I want logs from the journalctl.
sudo systemctl restart xo-server
sudo journalctl -fu xo-server

@MathieuRA

Again thank you so much for you time trying to assist with this. The script OP has responded and updated the script to work correctly now.

Again thank to all Vates staff for all the hard work you do that goes unnoticed.

MathieuRA

@acebmxer
Perfect.
Thank you all as well! Early testing and feedback are very precious to us.

I tried your approach but it did not fix the issue.
The maintainer of the Docker container (ronivay) was able to narrow the issue down to users that let XO handle http to https redirection and SSL encryption.

For now I made Xen Orchestra listen on port 80 only and disabled http to https redirection.
I use Traefik as reverse proxy now and let it handle those parts.

With that setup it works without any issues.

Maybe at some point somebody could further investigate wether or not http to https redirection in combination with SSL encryption is broken after XO 6 became the default.

Would be interesting to see if this issue occurs for non-docker users aswell.

acebmxer

@MajorP93

I think ronivay is doing something with Xen Orchestra which is why @mathieura suggestions were not working. I tried to follow his changes in the none docker script but it was above my head. Either way glad he was able to resolve your issues as well.

MathieuRA

@MajorP93 I think I am finally able to reproduce the bug. I will try to fix it
