XOA web deploy stuck at "Deploying XOA..." No error
-
Sorry for the format of my reply. Inserting code blocks doesn't seem to be working in my browser.
After a reboot
xe task-listreturns no results. If I then run:
bash -c "$(curl -s http://xoa.io/deploy)"and leave it running stuck at "Importing XOA VM..."
and then open another ssh session and run "xe task-list" I get:[08:13 R620-xcp-ng ~]# xe task-list uuid ( RO) : 31bdf4e2-536e-cf32-f75d-84cd76cf3976 name-label ( RO): VM.import name-description ( RO): status ( RO): pending progress ( RO): 0.007 running it again progress updates to progress ( RO): 0.009 5 - 10 minutes later progress ( RO): 0.030How do I interpret the progress line? Does this mean it's just going really slow? I've left this running for several hours (more than long enough to download a very large distribution iso file on my internet connection).

I edited your post to add code blocks in Markdown.
And yes, it's very slow.
0.030means 3%. So there's progress.Maybe a peering issue with your provider, where are you based?
-
I'm in New Freedom, PA, USA. I have a WISP Internet connection with about a 7 Mbps download speed. Maybe a smaller iso file, but I just downloded an ESXI install iso in lessthan 5 minutes. I've used this conection to download multi GB iso files with no issue in the past. Is there a way to download the xoa vm image from another source/mirror and perform the vm installation some other way?
-
You can download the XVA directly without the deploy script. It's explaining in our doc: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html#via-a-manual-xva-download
-
I tried downloading the xoa_unified.xva file from https://xen-orchestra.com/#!/member/products via Chrome web browser but got the same extremely slow download results. Again, doesn’t seem to be my slow 7 Mbps WISP connection that is the problem. I’m still having no issue downloading very large files from other sites. Using an alternative wireless internet connection I was able to download the .xva in just a few minutes. I’ll SCP it over to the XCP-ng server and try the manual install process.
Thanks for your help with this issue. -
So it's clearly a peering issue between your landline provider and where the file is hosted (in Europe).
I'm not 100% surprised, some US providers got very bad peering with Europe.
-
yeah so ive been jerked around by this for 3 hours now,
this definitely needs to be more public?
whats the solution?
im suprised you dont have a torrent link
-
Not everyone is affected, and not everytime either. Otherwise, we would already have done something. As you can see, it's pretty calm here since 6 months.
That's why it went down in our backlog. For our next XOA release (a fresh new virtual appliance with everything already updated) will be likely released with a US based mirror.

@olivierlambert I'm having this issue based in USA Midwest any good guides to a fix/ work around here in 2025?
-
Hi @RawbDeeni
I'm not aware of such recent issues in here, you are the first to come here since 2022. One can assume there's some variation on peering capabilities, it's not bad enough so we had to prioritize. What's your symptoms?
-
@olivierlambert I have 5gig fiber to my house with a static ip and my server doesn't deploy xoa like in this thread. I went into the host itself and can confirm they get created but fail to run but I was able to force start one but didn't do anything

@RawbDeeni
Can your XCP host ping xoa.io? -

@RawbDeeni also what is zen center for windows the link seems to be broken
-
@olivierlambert I finally got some more time to try working on this, 8.3 worked out of the box and fixed the issues I was having on 8.2
-
That's weird, likely unrelated eg peering unstuck after a bit and worked later
Anyway, happy it works for you, thanks for the mirror reminder, I will try to prioritize this in the next months
-
@RawbDeeni Thank you! I had the same problem using 8.2 lts. I ended up formatting and using 8.3, and I didn't have any issues after that. I'm glad I found a better alternative to use this hypervision from a vmware end user for over 10 years until Broadcom killed it.
