      Hey everyone!

      The patch is finally here 🎉

      Sorry for the delay 😐

      How to test?

      1. Select the latest channel on your XO appliance
      2. Upgrade to Xen Orchestra 5.43.2
      3. Go to the Proxies page and either Deploy a proxy or upgrade the appliance of your existing ones

      What's here?

      • Full Backup
      • Disaster Recovery

      Known limitations/issues

      Scheduled for Step 2 at the end of the month.

      • Network configuration for the proxy appliance
      • Delta Backup
      • Continuous Replication
      • Detailed logs, they are currently empty
      • Restoring backups
        Work-around: create a normal remote (not linked to the proxy) connected to the same storage and import via the XO appliance

      Thank you for your feedbacks

              Are proxies an XOA-restricted feature? If yes, then the GUI should indicate that and prevent you from attempting to deploy when built from source. If no, then this functionality is still broken (TypeError: app.getResourceCatalog is not a function) when built from source.

                Proxies are like XOA (or XO Hub templates): they are pre-configured appliances hosted on xen-orchestra.com, explaining why you can only deploy them from XOA.

                However, you should be able to use the sources to register a proxy yourself, but we'll document that later (it's still in dev and code is moving fast).

                Anyway, we'll expose that in the UI, thanks for the feedback 🙂

                  @olivierlambert Hi, did this ever get documented? I've got a bit of a Christmas project in the pipeline setting up a XCP-ng host at my parents and would want it to back up the VMs locally, but ideally without running another local XO; so basically the exact problem a proxy would resolve.

                  I guess registering it, in Redis I presume, would be easy enough, but what about the proxy VM itself?

                  Thanks.

                    I don't think it's documented, the only supported process is by using XOA, but we might have a dedicated README somewhere I assume.

                    @julien-f do we have a "manual" procedure anywhere?

                      @olivierlambert No, there are no manual procedure available at this time.

                        @julien-f @olivierlambert thanks for replying.

                        So proxies are a XOA paid only feature (even without support), and its not possible to manually build, or understand the magic that is going on within the proxy VM 😢 ; at least thats something else less to play with and break!

                        Looks like Plan B then! 😁

                          We are focusing first on getting something correctly integrated from XOA, it doesn't mean it will be exclusive to XOA.

                          It's just we are first focusing on a completely "known" environment (XOA), but I think at some point we'll be able to provide manual setup for people who want to do it from the sources 🙂
