Great projects have great documentation. Is XCP-ng a great project?
-
I can start adding to this this weekend probably - would a "guide to installing pfsense" be useful? I know there's many guides out there already, but more than half of them have useless (or worse than useless) steps telling people to turn off things that don't need to be turned off

Go ahead @fohdeesha

I don't want to step on any toes here. Would a guide to installing the Community Edition of Xen Orchestra be an appropriate addition to this documentation?
-
@Ethan6123 It's already here in the official XO doc: http://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html
-
I've seen that but to be completely honest it wasn't very helpful to me. I'm talking about more of a step-by-step guide for Linux novices. I would be willing to create one but I don't completely understand the relationship between the XOA team and XCP-ng. I greatly appreciate the XOA team taking this project on and don't want to overstep any bounds.

@Ethan6123 I'm not sure to really understand. The existing doc is a step by step guide. If you install it from the sources, you need a minimum knowledge, or if you don't want to, you can use XOA Free which doesn't require any knowledge and… it's free!
And finally, you can find on the web multiple 3rd party scripts to install it. Obviously, we cannot guarantee those will work, but if you have issues with those, you can always create issues on their repo!

@olivierlambert
Perhaps we are having a miscommunication. Whatever the issue it sounds like additional installation guides for Xen Orchestra Community Edition are not needed at this time.
-
@Ethan6123 If you add one in our wiki, we will not delete it
we are too much nerds to not be happy about improving the world (and our documentation)You could write (for example) an overview page that links to the various possibilities.
And I think @olivierlambert is a bit biased because he earns some of his money with XOA licences
and that's all fine!
-
Nobody earns money with XOA Free
But otherwise, XOA licenses are what's paying XCP-ng dev right now, yes. Plus paid XOAs aren't meant for individuals/home labs, but for companies, and we'd like to companies get a support/turnkey solution that just work out-of-the-box
