Syntax and Examples for XO-Server webhooks

[BeDazzleMe]

Hi All,

I have just started playing with XO-Server webhooks, however I can't tell if my syntax is incorrect and I am not sure of the exact syntax to use when attempting webhooks.

I have read through the documentation but I can't find any working examples of webhooks.

Can someone please point me in the right direction or maybe provide an example of a working webhook to start or restart a VM ?

Many thanks

Darren.

Hi!

Let's ping @pdonias or @julien-f

Thanks Olivier. Surely someone is using webhooks and can share an example http request into XO-Server to start a VM.

The rest I can work out from there.

Cheers,

D.

Hi @BeDazzleMe,

web hooks allow you to be notified when something happens in XO, not the other way around, at least for now. You can find an example there: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/advanced.html#request-handling.

Thanks @pdonias much appreciated.

My goal was to pass commands to XO-Server from a secure VM that can start/restart VMs via script.

I'm really struggling to integrate XCP-NG remote control functionality and now may need to start looking at something else.

Cheers

So just use xo-cli

Because I want to push users through a web portal interface which can obtain information from XO-Server for presentation back (ie: VM status, parameters, etc) whilst also allowing users to start/restart/shutdown VMs.

We looked at XOA however it was too expensive and the free version has nag text messages which I don't want presented to users.
