Tips on installing XO
-
@jasonnix said in Tips on installing XO:
cat: /home/xo/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json: No such file or directory
It is trying to create the file, but can't due to the rights issue. You may want to start over and try installing as root to avoid these problems.
-
Hi @Danp,
I used sudo. The file is located at /root/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json. -
@jasonnix There are settings that need to be configured to run correctly under sudo. Did you make that?
-
@Danp, Not really. Which settings?
-
@jasonnix It is in the documentation at the very bottom.

Hi @Danp,
Do you mean this?
I did:# rm -rf node_modules # yarn # yarn buildThen:
# nano config.toml useSudo = trueAfter it:
# nano /etc/sudoers xo ALL=(root)NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount, /bin/findmntThen, I tried to install XO as a system service:

Hello,
Any idea to solve this? I have to manually start XO with theforever start dist/cli.mjscommand and when I reboot the server, the service doesn't start automatically! -

This will make the Xen Orchestra service start automatically on each and every boot.

Hi @john-c,
I did:# systemctl enable orchestra.service orchestra.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install. Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable orchestraThen I rebooted the system and checked the service:

@jasonnix I think it's time you try and use an installation script. You're clearly having issues that are specific to you.
I'd just give up on this "I don't trust scripts" thing you have if you can't figure this process out, which is really straight-forwards.
-
You may want to try removing the service and then installing it again.

Hi @Danp,
How? -
@jasonnix Documentation for
forevercan be found at https://github.com/zapty/forever-service -
@Danp, according to the XO documentation I ran the following command:
$ sudo forever-service install orchestra -r "Current_UserName" -s dist/cli.mjsIs this wrong?
-
@jasonnix AFAIK it is correct. I've never personally used
forever, so my advice is only based on what you've posted to this thread.This part looked suspicious, so that is why I recommended removal / recreation --
# forever start dist/cli.mjs warn: --minUptime not set. Defaulting to: 1000ms warn: --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms info: Forever processing file: dist/cli.mjs (node:742838) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created) (node:742838) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency (node:742838) Warning: Accessing non-existent property 'padLevels' of module exports inside circular dependency -
Hi @Danp,
I did:# sudo forever-service delete orchestra forever-service version 0.5.11 Platform - Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Service orchestra deleted successfullyWhat is the next step? Should I run
$ sudo forever-service install orchestra -r "Current_UserName" -s dist/cli.mjscommand again? -
These are the steps shown in the documentation --
yarn global add forever yarn global add forever-service # Be sure to edit the path below to where your install is located! cd /home/username/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-server/ # Change the username below to the user owning XO forever-service install orchestra -r username -s dist/cli.mjsI don't see where you previously ran the line to install
forever-service. Is that no longer needed?
To answer your question, Yes, you would rerun that command after switching to the correct directory as shown above.

I hope that was more of a rhetorical question, because your best option is to simply spin up a new VM and start over. There are other options as well --
- Revert to an existing snapshot that you took prior to all of the above
- Remove the
/home/username/xen-orchestradirectory and hope for the best
-
@Danp, Yes. I read.
These were questions that I had asked before and no one answered:
1- Should I run the commands as root or sudo?2- Which directory is suitable to clone XO? I want to clone it in the /usr/local/src directory and this requires administrative access.
