Thanks for the link. I was more keen to build it for myself following the instructions and found that there gaps for those who are not familiar with the tools. So, my offer stands for those inquisitive folks like me.

A Citrix Consultant/Engineer and been playing with XenServer since 2012. Work a lot with XenApp/XD on Vmware in production environments but my home lab has always been XS.

I am a computer science student, passionate about server systems administration and virtualization. I arrived here because Xen intrigues me, I want to discover other things than KVM / VMware / Hyper-V, curiosity you know
I'm more a KVM/VMware guy, i'm looking for something else for my first homelab virtualization server, and I discover XCP-ng last week on Reddit. Everything works as I wish, despite some concepts to understand, the product suits me for my homelab, especially XOA. And because the recent decisions from Citrix for XS... -
I'm the owner of tiny company, focussed on consultancy and tailor-made cloud hosting solutions.
I've been using XenServer for years. My own company runs two pools of hosts and is responsible for the maintenance of a bunch of other installations.I've sponsored the startup of XCP-ng and I'll probably help out if I can to keep the project going. I had a real problem when Citrix decided to all of a sudden significantly reduce their free offering. I'm very excited to see the project get up to steam.

closed 15 years working as IT this spring, with a further background as an intern in my college NOC in the early 90s.
been working with XenServer since 2011, maybe late 2010. Worked both in private sector academic isntitutuions usually in roles spanning IT and Bus.Admin for academic projects in CS.
Since 2012 head of the IT-dpt in a small newspaper, and as you can imagine, the combination lends itself to a shortage of resources. Not to mention we're in Greece and I;m guessing you've all have heard how our economy has gone down the drain over the last decade.I'm generally satisfied with XS, it has covered our expanding needs adequately. Less so with XenApp, which we used and semi-abandoned eventually. We have too modest XS pools in production, and a 2-server one in OLD hardware for tests.
plus a small 2-server pool at my homeLab
Beyond that experience in Linux, some BSD, Windows AD, a lot of old school networking and firewalling. Ditto in EMC storage, less so in Netapp.

Hi,
IT consultant/CTO, started using XS at 6.0 (for Sass comany and friendly web sites hosting). Nothing special really, mostly local storage non pool servers (almost doing software raid but never dared....) .
I recognize myself more in this project than XS 7.x new direction. Probably because I don't match Citrix's current commercial target.
I believe it is incredibly hard for Citrix to cater for all market segments and XCP-ng seems to be as gracefull as possible an approach to please a greater number of supporters while promoting the quality of Citrix's work.
Also been following XOA for a while (to give our devs autonomy) and I hope that we can continue a constructive and respectfull collaboration with Citrix and secure the future of XS, XCP-ng and XOA.
Bravo team! -
Hello everyone,
I've been using XenServer in a home lab environment since 7.2 so I am new to virtualization. Glad to see this project getting the support and attention it rightly deserves. How can I contribute as I would love to get two of the xcp-ng stickers to show my support. -
@fox-mulder Hi there!
There is multiple ways to contribute
By hanging out around here is the first one! -
Hi Everybody,
working with Xen since 2009, and with a private cluster since 2012.
In the past I wrote part of the installation of the RBDSR plugin in order to allow Xen to connect to Ceph!
Now I would like to contribute to run Ceph natively on XCP-ngThanks for this project!
We can make it together!

Hi there!
I have been hired by @olivierlambert following the successful kickstarter for XCP-ng and am now working full time on that project. I've got experience in linux systems in general and RPM packaging in particular (as a contributer to the Mageia linux distribution), as well as development (python, C++...). On the other hand, XenServer and XCP-ng are new to me, but I'll learn fast and I'm not alone
My first task is help releasing version 7.5.

@stormi happy to have you. Hope to see some great action!

I've used ESXi et al in a professional environment, but mostly have wanted to shy away from anything that reeks of potential vendor-lock for my own personal "hobbyism".
I'm hoping in the very near future to deploy several (probably about five) (personal) servers into geographically diverse locations, all of which will be troublesome and rare to regain physical access to for administration; I'm hoping that this project will allow me ease of administration and reliability.
As much as I would love to truly "DIY" with e.g., Debian and XL, I just don't trust myself to maintain as high reliability/uptime (not to mention easy cross-site consistency) as a "prepacked shrink-wrapped management ecosystem" on the bare metal can provide, and it's great to see one of these with a dedication to FOSS principles.

Good afternoon! My name is Ron and like most here I'm a Xenserver refugee. Love that this project exists and have already transitioned all my servers to XCP-ng. Can't wait to see where this project goes and will happily do what I can to see that it progresses.

Hi Guys from Australia
50 something owner of an IT business specializing in EDI.
About 7 years ago moved from 12 physical machines to VM's
Been through nearly all of them
now have a 64 core, 32 core and 32 core machines running 23 VM's
Currently using XEN however I find it a bit flucky so I do a bit of "forced reboot" via my automated system which fixes the problem.
Only program in XOJO (basically visual basic) so not sure if I will be any help as a developer here but if I can help testing of any of your systems or you need a spare server please ask.thanks

Hi all
Im a sysadmin for 5 years at a property firm. We use XEN server and I love it and use it at home too. Ive been following this project since inception and cant believe how much it grew and at the rate it did. I am VERY interested in moving our hosts to this platform in future due to Citrix' new view on free users. Thanks for all the hard work guys its amazing what you are doing.

Hi I'm a SysAdmin/NOC Admin from Boston, MA. One of our customers referred me to this site requesting migrating their Pool to XCP NG due to the path Citrix is taking. Very pleased to see this project in the works.

I have been in IT for 20 years and have worked with ESXi for a fair amount of that time then recently started looking into open source alternatives. I have tried using Xen in the past (4 years ago) with mixed results. I have more recently also tried UNRAID which worked quite well however there is no real commercial support due to the nature of the product being more domestic. Then by chance I was skimming through youtube and came accross a video of XCP-ng (2 months ago) I have now transferred all of my infrastructure over and am currently looking at transferring all my customers with ESXi over as well. This is a great product keep up the good work.

Thanks for the feedback @asbtech
If you are looking for pro support option you can take a look right here: https://xcp-ng.com/
We are aiming XCP-ng to be usable by companies in production environment as well as homelab -
@marc-pezin Thanks very much for that once I have started to do some implementations here in Australia I will be in contact.
