🛰️ XO 6: dedicated thread for all your feedback!

I run these kinds of backup jobs

Full Backup x2
Delta backup
Continuous Replication
XO Config and Metadata

In ContRep, Conf/meta and in one of the Full Backup jobs I get Report when Never

But they are enabled in XO5 with mail address and Report when Skipped and failure

I use the "VM notes" feature in XO 5 for lots of things, and I appreciate having the markdown capability. It seems now these VM Notes are stuffed into a small "Description" field inside the "Quick Info" panel for a VM.

Currently in XO 6, it looks like my notes are getting truncated in this new description field, are there plans to preserve the "VM Notes" functionality? Or should I be backing them up now before I lose them?

Me too. They serve as important info, documentation, and other bits of info that needs to be quickly on-hand.

What I would like to add is a way to upload images and include them in the Markdown.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to show a Backup issue every time a Cont.rep. job is run

Thanks for the feedback, we'll fix that!

However, the periodic console refresh interrupts the performing of actual work

We'll investigate that issue, thanks for the report.

This definitely looks like a bug, we'll check that, thanks again!

Notes and descriptions are 2 separate things. We haven't added notes in XO 6 yet, but don't worry, we will! And XO 5 and XO 6 will be available side by side until XO 6 is fully usable, so you're not going to lose your notes, no need to back them up

Hi,

Just pulled the last commit and see that v6 become the "default" endpoint.

Unfortunatly, I have to rollback, any user can connect, SSO (oidc) is broken, I think it's not fully implemented yet ?

callback URL give a "Internal Server Error"; adding "/v5" make a loop with login screen...

There is any trick to diable v6 by default ? Or make OIDC works ?

Thank you and have a good day

@Kptainflintt Please provide us the XO-server log that concerns the connection error, authentication is supposed to work as before.

@MathieuRA

Hi,

That's the wired thing, no error in logs...

But I found why : I have "profile" scope in my OIDC configuration for a while, it seems to broke SSO in last version. Without it, it works.

Thank you

Subject: XO 6 is unusable without Migration tools

I just updated and was presented with the XO 6 interface. I am shocked to find that the "Migrate" functionality is missing from the UI.

Moving a VM is the most fundamental feature of a hypervisor management tool. Making an interface the default—or even presenting it as a viable preview—without this feature is a major workflow breaker. I shouldn't have to revert to the CLI or hunt for a "legacy view" toggle just to perform basic maintenance.

Please prioritize porting the migration/lifecycle actions before pushing users toward this interface. It makes the product feel broken.
