@Franck-Leclerc feel free to try again now

Thanks for the update.
I can now backup a VM with the proxy
I continuing my tests -
Great thanks!

Are proxies an XOA-restricted feature? If yes, then the GUI should indicate that and prevent you from attempting to deploy when built from source. If no, then this functionality is still broken (
TypeError: app.getResourceCatalog is not a function) when built from source. -
Proxies are like XOA (or XO Hub templates): they are pre-configured appliances hosted on xen-orchestra.com, explaining why you can only deploy them from XOA.
However, you should be able to use the sources to register a proxy yourself, but we'll document that later (it's still in dev and code is moving fast).
Anyway, we'll expose that in the UI, thanks for the feedback

@olivierlambert Hi, did this ever get documented? I've got a bit of a Christmas project in the pipeline setting up a XCP-ng host at my parents and would want it to back up the VMs locally, but ideally without running another local XO; so basically the exact problem a proxy would resolve.
I guess registering it, in Redis I presume, would be easy enough, but what about the proxy VM itself?
Thanks.
-
I don't think it's documented, the only supported process is by using XOA, but we might have a dedicated README somewhere I assume.
@julien-f do we have a "manual" procedure anywhere?
-
@olivierlambert No, there are no manual procedure available at this time.
-
@julien-f @olivierlambert thanks for replying.
So proxies are a XOA paid only feature (even without support), and its not possible to manually build, or understand the magic that is going on within the proxy VM
; at least thats something else less to play with and break!Looks like Plan B then!
-
We are focusing first on getting something correctly integrated from XOA, it doesn't mean it will be exclusive to XOA.
It's just we are first focusing on a completely "known" environment (XOA), but I think at some point we'll be able to provide manual setup for people who want to do it from the sources
