            Another server from my homelab, a reliable workhorse

            Dell PowerEdge R210 II, BIOS 2.10.0
            Xeon E3-1270 V2
            32GB RAM

            After updating the fresh XCP-ng 8.3 installation (yum update) the network settings were lost. Manual reconfiguration worked. Otherwise no problems during the update.

              I guess the XCPNG 8.3 will not work with the Windows version of XCP Center? or IS there a way to make this work?

                A community built version is the most recent build of XCP-ng Center [v20.11.00.3], which may work with XCP-ng 8.3 Alpha.
                It can be obtained from the following:
                https://github.com/cocoon/xenadmin

                ⚠ It is not an official client and unsupported by Vates.

                    For me it works fine - but I prefer XO

                        One of my first playlab XCP-ng hosts. Clean 8.3.0-alpha2 install had some hickups where the installer did not complete (twice) and demanded a reboot. Did a clean 8.2.1 install to verify and that went well. Repeated a clean 8.3.0-alpha2 install after that and strangely that worked 🤔 . Can investigate a bit more if helpfull, but to lazy right now 😇 .

                              I consider setting up an XCP-ng server .... or perhaps a xen-server
                              (for private use), since I like the concept!

                              The problem is that the actual 8.2.1 release is over a year old ...
                              Looking at XEN that release 4.17 is much more recent ...

                              So I consider 8.3 .... however ... it is alpha which sounds as ^still a long way to go^ / not stable. I also think I would need to update from 8.2 since there is no 8.3 snapshot.iso available

                              So I wonder what the expected 8.3 timeline is, and to which extend XEN 4.17 is included in the 8.2 / 8.3 release.

                                @Louis what's the issue with 8.2.1? It's an LTS, so it's normal to use mature versions of Xen and such. It's not a contest on getting latest versions, especially since XCP-ng is very stable. What do you want to achieve?

                                  The latest versions tend to have fixes, security updates and probably added features. For those reasons I always prefer to use the latest versions the more at the moment I start a new system.

                                  So, I am not saying 8.2 is bad / not ok, but on the other hand I am surprised to see that 8.2.1 is over a year old. And at the same time I note that there is a xen-server release november 2022.

                                  I assume that XCP-ng is based on xen-server. But on which version !??

                                  Of course there have been security updates, but never the less. But I have no idea what has changed since the original 8.2.1 release. As far as I am aware there is no change log.

                                    Not true. All security fixes are backported. Do you really think we'll leave an LTS version of XCP-ng without any security fix since 2020?

                                    Probably added features

                                    Which features in Xen 4.17 you need you don't have in 4.13?

                                    I am surprised to see that 8.2.1 is over a year old

                                    This is not a toy project but a serious distro meant to run in a stable fashion in datacenters, at scale. Especially as an LTS version, that is expect to be maintained between 5 and 10 years.

                                    I assume that XCP-ng is based on xen-server. But on which version !??

                                    It's XenServer. Take a guess, XCP-ng 8.2 is based on which XenServer edition?

                                    Of course there have been security updates, but never the less.

                                    Never the less? That's the most important thing, to backport the sec patches.

                                    As far as I am aware there is no change log.

                                    You should really look at the documentation. Each XCP-ng release is covered by a change log, and each update is also documented with at least a dedicated blog post. You can start here: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/releases/ (to read what's an LTS and why we don't add features in an LTS) and there: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/ for all the blog posts on our almost monthly updates.

                                      Yep I agree that security fixes are the most important ones. And I know that security patches are provided (as I wrote in my mail).

                                      Since I am new to XCP-ng, and I did not study the changes related to 8.3, I do not know the improvements, but I assume there are!

                                        As I said previously, you should really take a look at the doc and the blog...

                                        https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2022/11/18/xcp-ng-8-3-alpha/

                                        And posted very recently: https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2023/02/27/news-about-8-3-alpha/

                                          Olivier thanks for the links. But it only confirms my idea that I should go for the latest releases as far as possible!

                                          • IPV6 support is important to me (should work!)
                                          • all security fixes (not only the most important ones)
                                          • better hardware support ( I do have e.g. 2.5 g interfaces)
                                          • newer python
                                          • better update management

                                            You should really start to work on 8.2 LTS first and see what you really need in real life. If it's not enterprise production, then go for 8.3.
