Hello! I am Esyx. I am relatively new to virtualization. My background is mainly with consumer level hardware, and doing things on bare-metal. After playing around with an RPi for the past year or so, and exploring the things I can do in terms of self-hosting for my extended family... I have decided to start building a home lab in hopes of learning system administration, and hope to start going for certifications soon to make a career change. I chose to use XCP-NG, (also using Xen Orchestra), because I love what you guys are doing. Keep up the great work!

Heyho o/
well, my name should be obvious, as it is displayed in that neat little html element next to the date above. What do I do? I do all sorts of IT related things in a mid-sized enterprise in Austria. Fairly new to all the virtualization stuff as I once upon a time just was just a software developer and now I sit here in a sysadmin chair XD Even the programming times were at the time Java 1.4 came out. Sooo quite a bit rusty on all edges
I am happy to say, that I can operate pretty free here. So I can test out different new things I have not seen yet and try to integrate that in our company if useful. xcp-ng is one of the things to try. -
Hello everybody, my name is Martín, from Spain (so sorry for my poor English). I've been administering xenserver since 2010, fortunatelley, not too hard, beucause it works like a charm the most of the time. After being stalled in xenserver 7.2 for years, I've finally convinced my boss to move to xcp-ng, so here I am, with a new pool of 5 Lenovo SN550 and a fresh install of XCP-NG. Initially, we are doing with xcp-ng center to smooth the transition, although I'm running a XOA VM for a long, curiously I can't register it, but it is another story that I'll post as soon as I find the correct section.
Thanks for all your effort on the project and selfless help.

@Martín-Lorente Welcome!

Hey there
I go by machine22,Not from around here
Alien
I am cyber security Analyst by Profession. I like running Labs before deploying systems in a live environment where i begin pentesting or learning a new technology and the rest you know what comes. I am a huge advocate for open source software when bored i like to break things looking for weaknesses. -
Welcome!

Hi Guys!
I am the CTO at a technology company, we are a big VMWare house (for now
). Really excited to dive into more XCP-NG. We did work with Citrix a couple of years ago, as a part of a very lengthy quotation process, but ultimately decided to stick with VMWare.We are a software development company, so love the fact XCP-NG is open source, and we can contribute / modify it as we see fit.
Thanks @olivierlambert for all the work in getting it off the ground;
James

Welcome @jgibbons !
Feel free to share here, any work/contribution but also all your questions
Also, XCP-ng is a real teamwork thing: both inside Vates but also with this great community.
-
@olivierlambert Really looking forward to exploring its capabilities!
-
@olivierlambert Thank you so much for your hard work! XCP-ng is incredible!

Hello everyboby, my name is Peter, i am living in Austria.
I'm a noob to XCP-ng, i used Vitrualbox and VMWare for a while in home use.
After i looked to a lot of youtube videos during lockdown i desided to rebuild an older PC and install XCP-ng on as replacement.
This summer i would like to replace/virtualize some old machines my Sportclub uses for tournament results and their digital locking system and migrate them to one machine with XCP-ng installed.
So i have a lot to learn. -
I'm here because I love self-hosting and I want to meet others who love self-hosting as well. I'm new to using XCP-ng but I think I'll enjoy it, and I prefer virtual machines over Docker. I will be using Docker, but using Docker within a virtual machine will isolate it even further and layers are always healthy. I love Linux, but it'll be cool to try out Windows Hyper-V Server within a virtual machine as well. I'm down to chat with anyone about anything self-hosting, don't be shy.

Hello,
I'm a senior Linux sysadmin mainly using vmWare based solutions for my customers.
As a big fan of opensource and DIY my home lab is based on a KVM virtualization solution based on libvirt and a bunch of custom scripts that automate most of the things and runs pretty well.
I'm looking for a new solution that would allow me to use it as a home lab and at professional level and solution that could also be used via infrastructure as code solutions (i.e terraform/cloud-init/ansible/puppet, etc).
I'm currently discovering xcp-ng and xen-orchestra that both look great.
I would have
somemany questions very soon... -
Welcome @mco-system !

I'm a broad spectrum hobbyist when it comes to software and technology. At first I started with my own blog and using a vps on digital ocean, and quickly became interested in the devOps side of web development. I moved onto Continuous Integration (Atlassian Bamboo), then I was interested in Vagrant, provisioning with puppet & chef. I work in manufacturing, but I have a long list of projects for my personal home/office lab. Cheers!

Hi All,
I started my career in the 80's modifying Bulletin Board dial-up systems and migrated towards telecom TCP/IP over RS422 applications and was hooked on telecom ever since. At 56 I am still going strong with tech and probably will never stop as it is my passion.
I am a developer/architect of DPDK and VPP applications, I am now looking into XO as I am curious about passthrough capabilities and I am currently testing various providers of level 1 tech.
My long term focus is VNF capacity and Throughput, I am working through solutions for Data centres that have capacity problems.
Look forward to interacting with everyone.
