      New update candidates for XCP-ng 8.0: guest-templates* and xcp-ng-pv-tools

      XCP-ng 8.0

      guest-templates*

      The updated packages add templates for RHEL 8 and derivatives as well as a template for Debian 10.

      Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/274 (RHEL 8 and derivatives) and https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/276 (debian 10).

      xcp-ng-pv-tools

      The updated package adds support for installing the tools on RHEL 8 and its derivatives (CentOS, Oracle Linux, etc.).

      Update: a new revision of the package now also adds tentative support for:

      • CloudLinux
      • Alpine Linux
      • FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)

      Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/293.

      What we need

      As usual, Vates tests the updates internally, but we also rely on the community to widen the test cases and hardware tested, so we need you to install the updates and give us feedback, either positive or negative, before we can consider pushing those updates to everyone!

      Please use the github issues to provide feedback so this thread here remains clean.

        installed and tried to use a centos8 template. It does not allow to use UEFI. Is this intended?

            I don't use those myself so I'm counting on community feedback 🙂

              November 2019 security update for XCP-ng

              New security update candidates are available (XCP-ng 7.6 and 8.0). As usual, I will only release them to everyone after enough testing, so if you can please install the update candidates.

              Instructions there: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/302

              Please use the github issues to provide feedback so this thread here remains clean.

              But also...

              I'm also still interested in feedback regarding the added support in the guest tools ISO for:

              • CloudLinux
              • Alpine Linux
              • FreePBX (Sangoma Linux)

              ... and the added Debian 10 template. See my post about that https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/18268 above.

              I'd like to release all updates at the same time if possible.

                Hi Stormi - any chance you could add support for Gentoo Linux?

                  It's not on my priority list but I'd probably accept a well tested pull request to https://github.com/xcp-ng/xe-guest-utilities/

                    The security issues are serious and public, and I haven't had any feedback about the update candidates yet, so I'm doubling my call.

                      Last chance to test before I release them based only on our internal testing.

                          No problem here, RHEL 8 support for guest tools works as expected (tested on the last RHEL 8.1 release), good job 👌

                                I did the November 2019 updates for XCP-ng 8 on a standalone host as well as a 3 node cluster. No problems so far. 👍

                                  Get ready for testing. New (previously unforeseen) security updates are coming soon for testing. You can thank hardware bugs in CPUs (and it's only starting) 🙂

                                          There's a misunderdstanding when I ask for tests. What hardware you have doesn't really matter. Even if you don't have Intel CPUs, your hosts will receive the updates. So they are impacted. If there are regressions in the updates, you'll be impacted.

                                          That's why what's the most important with all the updates I ask feedback for is not what they fix, it's what they don't break. A large number of "I installed them, things seem to still function normally" is what we really need.

                                          Testing the actual changes the updates bring is a plus, but not a requirement to be able to contribute.

                                            Security Updates released. Intel hardware again. You'll need to choose between safety and performance regarding one of the flaws if you are running untrusted guests. https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2019/11/18/security-updates-for-intel-hardware/
