EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end (New Maintainer!)
-
Hello Everyone!
So I wanted to come out and mention that I would like to take over maintainership of XCP-ng Center. I personally use both XO and XCP-ng Center depending on use-case and have an environment with both.
I am pretty well versed in C# and have the knowledge of both XAPI and C# to continue its development.
I am in the process of taking the current codebase and modernizing it to work with VS 2022, and adding new features (ex. able to create a local ext store)
I am willing to talk to the current project maintainers and figure out a switchover plan. I would like not to see XCP-ng Center die, as I am one of the few "Not a webapp fan", I prefer desktop apps when available.
Also, let me know what y'all like to see added as well.

@michael-manley Awesome!

@michael-manley Lovely! If you need beta testers, let me know... I use XCP-ng Center quite a bit and would not like to see it die either.

@michael-manley shure, go for it maybe let us talk via private message

Ok, so it's official! I will be taking over the maintainment of XCP-ng Center. I will have another test build soon with a few added features, and I am looking for a Q2 2024 release.
I will add GitHub Actions to automate test builds, so look out for those for future test builds.
Glad to continue the legacy of XCP-ng Center, and looking forward to adding useful features to people who prefer it!

@michael-manley Left a response to a request from @gb-123 about relocating user.config from C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming directory. They're interested in enabling xenadmin becoming capable of being placed on a USB flash drive. See the link below for more details.
