      Perhaps we are having a miscommunication. Whatever the issue it sounds like additional installation guides for Xen Orchestra Community Edition are not needed at this time.

        @Ethan6123 If you add one in our wiki, we will not delete it πŸ™‚ we are too much nerds to not be happy about improving the world (and our documentation)

        You could write (for example) an overview page that links to the various possibilities.

        And I think @olivierlambert is a bit biased because he earns some of his money with XOA licences πŸ’° and that's all fine!

          Nobody earns money with XOA Free πŸ˜‰ But otherwise, XOA licenses are what's paying XCP-ng dev right now, yes. Plus paid XOAs aren't meant for individuals/home labs, but for companies, and we'd like to companies get a support/turnkey solution that just work out-of-the-box πŸ™‚

            @olivierlambert Well, maybe its a tiny bit easier to sell support if the free documentations isnt top notch πŸ˜ƒ

              @Patrik48 it's not a goal for us to do that. You mainly sell support as in insurance: if you have an issue, you'll have access to the developers of XCP-ng to assist you with a private ticket (and with a fast response time).

              This is something you can't have in a reasonable time when you rely only on the community.

                @olivierlambert I miss things like the manpages for the server, for the commands that is used to build up the answerfile.
                Is there a more complete documentations provided for those going for the payed support package?

                The OP was interested in a step by step guide, thats something that one can write after proper documentation is in place.

                Just to be clear, Im fully understand why this isnt a job that we can ask you to do
                for us.
                I just hopes that someone that is able to read the code can do it, Im just a sysadmin=)

                  1. Our wiki is open to edition for everyone
                  2. Otherwise, feel free to create a support ticket asking us to write what you need πŸ™‚

                  The main problem is more a priority problem, and obviously, pro support tickets are priority number 1.

                    @Patrik48 Just to make things clear: there is no documentation (or project of documentation) that would be restricted to those who subscribed to pro support.

                          Nothing specific except Windows XP support dropped in Xen.

                            Windows 7 is already so old that for a minute I just get confused about it was the XP.
                            Well not... XP is a piece of history at moment so it's ok.

                            However I have to said that WinXP was a very good OS instead of Vista & Win8 and still it's a pity that is not supported anymore 😒
                            At moment only Win7 can be claimed as real successor.

                                Thanks, I've updated it. I'm thinking of a better page title because to me release plan is about future releases, not exactly about support.

                                      Maybe "Releases and support" (with spaces between words... Not everyone is German :P)

                                          In addition to the write ups in the Wiki, would it be ok to link my YouTube tutorial videos that I have made on many aspects of the project?

                                            Yes, as long as they are clearly identified as third party videos, I think they would be a useful addition.
