      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.

              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.

                      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 some many questions very soon...

                                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.

                                        @txsastre hi everyone.

                                        this is a sort of goodbye because I'm no longer in the IT department.

                                        it's been a pleasure being a part of this community this years.
                                        thanks very much for your help and for your product.

                                        I've been very pleased of using it.

                                        hope I've been helpful for de developers and community.

                                        Thank you again !!

                                            @olivierlambert hi there, I'm in a non-IT related department, very quiet.
                                            long story, stress, poor payment, low resources... I think I will be happier here.

                                            by the way I will keep on the email subscription so I keep informing on how is your way going.

                                            good luck with your projects !!
