EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end (New Maintainer!)

@borzel said in EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end:
Hello XCP-ng Center users,
Citrix (or Cloud Software Group, Inc.) has ended the open source development of their XenCenter as noted here:
With that, for me its basically over, because the XenCenter codebase is the foundation of XCP-ng Center and I can not maintain this huge C# software with my limited time without this code base.
Today I released a nightly build for you all to test with XCP-ng 8.3 (beta): https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.99.99.99.30
If all goes well and nothing pops up, this will be the base for the last XCP-ng Center Release 2023.12.In the future I want to contribute to the web gui XO Lite, to get as much XCP-ng Center vibes into it, so we have a good alternative to XCP-ng Center soon.
Here you can follow the XO Lite progress: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/category/24/xo-lite
Thanks for all the help and feedback!

Hello Everyone!
So I wanted to come out and mention that I would like to take over maintainership of XCP-ng Center. I personally use both XO and XCP-ng Center depending on use-case and have an environment with both.
I am pretty well versed in C# and have the knowledge of both XAPI and C# to continue its development.
I am in the process of taking the current codebase and modernizing it to work with VS 2022, and adding new features (ex. able to create a local ext store)
I am willing to talk to the current project maintainers and figure out a switchover plan. I would like not to see XCP-ng Center die, as I am one of the few "Not a webapp fan", I prefer desktop apps when available.
Also, let me know what y'all like to see added as well.

@michael-manley Awesome!

@michael-manley Lovely! If you need beta testers, let me know... I use XCP-ng Center quite a bit and would not like to see it die either.
-
@michael-manley shure, go for it
maybe let us talk via private message -
Ok, so it's official! I will be taking over the maintainment of XCP-ng Center. I will have another test build soon with a few added features, and I am looking for a Q2 2024 release.
I will add GitHub Actions to automate test builds, so look out for those for future test builds.
Glad to continue the legacy of XCP-ng Center, and looking forward to adding useful features to people who prefer it!

@michael-manley Left a response to a request from @gb-123 about relocating user.config from C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming directory. They're interested in enabling xenadmin becoming capable of being placed on a USB flash drive. See the link below for more details.

Very excited to receive a wonderful and detailed reply from @michael-manley.
Thanks @michael-manley for taking over the maintenance of XCP-ng Center!

@michael-manley
Are you aware of the new Xencenter CVE:
https://support.citrix.com/article/CTX633416/citrix-hypervisor-security-update-for-cve202431497It would be great, if you could update the putty-component, if it is used.
Edit: XCP-ng-center does not seem to have the putty-plugin

@michael-manley Does no longer work with latest 8.3 beta....
-
@michael-manley Hi Michael, have you any plan to release a new version working with latest xcp-ng 8.3?
-
Thanks @michael-manley for picking this up!
Looking forward to a new version that supports 8.3 (Beta) -
@Strebor Nice BUT no development.... Unfortunately.
Not working with latest 8.3 for a while now.

@redakula Hi,
This build stopped working with the latest beta 8.3 updates (last or last couple).
Worked before.

@redakula Hi,
This build stopped working with the latest beta 8.3 updates (last or last couple).
Worked before.I just tested and it connects just fine for me to a fully up to date 8.3 install...
