I just wanted my own script to install Xen Orchestra from sources with a few additional features not found in Ranivays script. Mine is built completely from scratch but with inspiration form his script.

If you wanted to give my script a try I would appropriate any feedback to any improvements. I would suggest creating a new vm as i have not test my script against an installation done by Ronivays script.

@acebmxer
what have you added? what are the differences?
i will definetely try it.

@AlexanderK
The inter-active menu, The menu will show the running script commit against main commit along with showing Xen Orchestra installed commit vs master commit. The script should automatically self-update to latest version.

Just to name a few...

@acebmxer i think that only the menu. the "old" script also auto updates....

The ronivay script requires you to select an option (#2 to update).

I look at things this way, it's good to have more people working on scripts like this.

e.g. XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater does not support Debian 13 yet.

Made some updates to this project. Any existing users please see note. I have also updated the initial post.

️ Upgrading from an earlier version of this script? Read this first.
This version bumps the config schema to v2 (adds PUBLIC_URL and ENCRYPT_REDIS_CREDENTIALS) and corrects two config.toml generation bugs. Your xo-config.cfg is migrated automatically and non-destructively, but the corrected /etc/xo-server/config.toml is only written by --reconfigure.

Run --reconfigure once before resuming normal updates:

./install-xen-orchestra.sh --reconfigure
This regenerates config.toml with the fixes (your old file is backed up first; data in /var/lib/xo-server is untouched). It is strongly recommended if you set both REDIRECT_TO_HTTPS=true and REVERSE_PROXY_TRUST — that combination previously produced a duplicate [http] section and silently dropped one of the settings.

Afterwards, run --update as normal for routine XO updates — --update does not need to be preceded by --reconfigure again.

Also added option to adjust Xen Orchestras memory allocation. Useful if you are getting out of memory errors or added more memory to XO.

This is a nice bit of community tooling, and thanks for keeping it updated and being upfront about the "use at your own risk" part.
On the naming point a few people raised, I think the distinction folks are drawing is fair: XOA is the Vates-built appliance, and anything you compile yourself is XO from sources.
The official docs cover that path at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/xo5/installation#from-the-sources, including the note that there is no pro support for that method.
I don't know enough about the proxy-from-sources side to say anything useful about the licence-check question, so I will leave that to people closer to it. Hope the project keeps going well!
