EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end (New Maintainer!)
-
Hello everyone,
So, XCP-ng Center will no longer be updated, right? Because I upgraded to version 8.3 and can no longer use XCP-ng Center to manage the servers.
Is there any way I can manage the XCP-ng 8.3 servers, or do I have to revert to XCP-ng 8.2?
Sorry, I have searched through all the topics but still can't solve my problem.Thank so much.

@Seneken that build I shared here works with latest XCP-ng, current maintainer on github just didn't make a release for latest codebase, but master branch in github works with latest version just fine

@Seneken Have you considered using Xen Orchestra (XO) instead of XCP-ng Center? XO is the recommended solution to manage Xenserver or XCP-ng hosts and pools. The Xen Orchestra from Source comes with all the bells and whistles for a homelab, while the Xen Orchestra Appliance (XOA) is intended for enterprise scenarios with support. But you most likely already know that and are just interested in a windows client

@petr-bena Hi, I found your build from this link. I wil try it now and report to you later.
Thank much
@gskger
Yup, I know about Xen Orchestra (XO) and XOA. Maybe I will use it temporarily while waiting for the next version of XCP-ng Center to fully support 8.3. Of course, I still need XCP-ng Center for my colleagues who are not very familiar with the system. They have been given basic training on how to use XCP-ng Center to monitor and support the VMs when needed.
Sincerely thank you for your sharing and suggestions. -
@errellion Have you ever considered or looked into using a USB over Ethernet utility like VirtualHere or one of the other alternatives as a work around?
In a nutshell, you could deploy something like a RPI2 or RPI3 and run VirtualHere on it & plug your dongles into that and have your VM's connect to it with a USB over Ethernet client. Then you wouldn't have issues with snapshots or migrations between hosts.
I use this for Wave, Software Defined Radio & ADSB dongles and USB printer - just forward the raw USB connections over Ethernet to my VM's and it's worked great for me for years.
Just spitballing the idea if it helps you.

Hi Petr-bena, your build work for me. Thank you so much

Hello everyone!
Is there a version of XCP-ng center that can work with XenServer 8 and with XCP-ng 8.2 simultaneously?
Thank you!
-
@O_V_K Does that version I posted not work?
-
@olivierlambert BTW due to inactivity of "new maintainer" I think I could probably volunteer to become another co-maintainer, but can't promise to be overly active either.

No Tested with latest XenServer 8
Thank you!

Latest XenCenter 2024.3.0 does not work with XCP-ng 8.2
