EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end (New Maintainer!)
-
@AbyssMoon the tip of the development branch (commit cd4c62ee) builds in VS2022 and produces a functional XCP-ng Center. If you have the tools, you can just fork the repo (or clone it) and build locally.
The github workflow doesn't appear to be working, as far as I can tell, so perhaps that is why the 'latest' release is from January.
-
Seeing that 8.3 is released now, I will do some cleanup of what I have, and get a 24.11 release out after some testing with 8.3 GA.
On XenServer, This is designed for XCP-ng, not XenServer, so its support will be limited if at all supported. I seen some bug reports for XenServer, I will close those as wontfix, sorry.
-
Also, I do apologize for slow updates. I have been working on tons of projects and will try to get some time to get this a good alternative to people who want a desktop app.
-
Forgot one last thing, even tho i may not be day to day programming on XCP-ng Center, please feel free to ask for pull requests. Ill definitely will look at them and merge them if they fit.

@michael-manley Thank you Michael (and patch- and issue-submitters), some clients/users find XCP-ng Center faster for some tasks and like it for familiarity's sake.
Your efforts are much appreciated for making XCP-ng less daunting for a number of people I know - thanks again.
If you are still perchance looking for potential additions, having a (selectable/slide out) right-side of screen (or bottom perhaps) area for showing the running list of tasks (current and history) would make seeing what is going on easier (a quality-of-life issue) rather than switching to it for users (thus making usage and tracing of 'events' faster).
Something like that would be really welcome in XO too

YES PLEASE make 2024.11 realise of XCP-ng Center for 8.3 version of XCP-ng.
If I can help (and if I know how to do it) please let's me know. -
Hello Everyone,
I put a release out of vNext Build 24308 as a normal release. Although its a vNext build, its pretty stable and works with 8.3.
I plan to do some changes before 24.11 comes out in GA but I just wanted to get something out now so you all have a version that is 8.3 compatible.
Please test and report any bugs you may notice. I will mention also 24.11 will change how settings are done which will allow for a portable version of XCP-ng Center. More to come later.

Thank you for new realize.
I install it on my PC and connect to my pools.
First impressions are good, works fine, after 1/2 usage I don't get any error of found bug.
I will use this version and report any issues if I found any. -
@michael-manley Thank so yo much Mr. Manley
-
Thank you @michael-manley
I have waiting for update for XCP-ng Center for so many years. Now adding new disks to VM when you have a lot of LUN connected to pool works very fast ans smooth.
-
I have found a bug which occurs in latest version and also in nightly versions of XCP-ng Center. We you have server list with few connection it takes about 20-25 after inputing master password when they will appear.
Missing connections list after inputing master password:
Connection list appears after 20-25 seconds of waiting:

Thanks a lot for the good work. Came right in time. Never finding anything fast in XOA.

Hello Everyone!
Thought I'd get peoples views on this. Since XCP-ng Center is Windows only and basically stuck on .NET Framework 4.8, I am considering switching the UI over to Avalonia, rewriting the whole UI for that change, and upgrade to .NET 8.0. This will also allow Linux users to use XCP-ng Center as well.
-
@michael-manley Speaking as a recent Linux desktop convert, I approve
-
I still keep a Windows 10 VM just to be able to run XCP-NG Center.
Despite XOA is a great powerfull tool to perform backups and warm migrations, XCP-NG Center
is much moreuser-friendly when you want to check more than one server at once.Having it on a Linux Desktop could be the most welcome improvement.
Thanks.
-
@michael-manley sounds like a plan.
-
@michael-manley Sounds fantastic! Should allow for GUI additions flexibility as well.
-
its a big task, but would be cool
-
@michael-manley You got my vote of approval. I'm also willing to test your releases (if you need that kinda help).
