@olivierlambert thanks!

any help?

is this going to work with creating a cloud image?

@fohdeesha will come back to you when he can

@encryptblockr Hi! by cloud image I'm assuming you mean cloud-init? Cloud-init has some issues and their documentation hasn't been updated to cover a lot of changes so I've been dealing with debugging it for a customer on ubuntu, but it's mostly related to network config. Your displayed config should work no problem for a cloud template, the important thing is that the linux/OS partition is at the end of the disk, after all the other partitions - this way cloud-init can expand it without running over partitions after it. Your fdisk output shows that it's the last partition, so you should be good.

It's planned to add a new Ubuntu in XO Hub, yes

[encryptblockr]

[olivierlambert]

XO Hub is available in your XOA (even Free).

See the start of https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xen-orchestra-5-39/

@olivierlambert

I do not see HUB in 5.46

[olivierlambert]

It's available for XOA. Also, it seems you are using a very outdated version of Xen Orchestra.

@encryptblockr Why don't you just download the official cloud image from ubuntu? It's not worth the headache lol.
