      @Danp, I did the following command:

      jason@XO:$ sudo forever-service install orchestra -r jason -s dist/cli.mjs

        IDK. The fact that it shows "active (exited)" is problematic because I would have expected to see "active (running)".

        Have you checked the logs for further information?

            Again... seems like a rights issue. What changes did you make to the config.toml file? Also, did you see this statement in the documentation?

            In this config file, you can change default ports (80 and 443) for xo-server. If you are running the server as a non-root user, you will need to set the port to 1024 or higher.

              @Danp, I just did the following:

              $ cd packages/xo-server
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/xo-server
$ cp sample.config.toml ~/.config/xo-server/config.toml

                @jasonnix said in Tips on installing XO:

                cat: /home/xo/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json: No such file or directory

                It is trying to create the file, but can't due to the rights issue. You may want to start over and try installing as root to avoid these problems.

                  Hi @Danp,
                  I used sudo. The file is located at /root/.config/xo-server/config.z-auto.json.

                    @jasonnix There are settings that need to be configured to run correctly under sudo. Did you make that?

                        @jasonnix It is in the documentation at the very bottom.

                          Hi @Danp,
                          Do you mean this?
                          I did:

                          # rm -rf node_modules
# yarn
# yarn build

                          Then:

                          # nano config.toml

useSudo = true

                          After it:

                          # nano /etc/sudoers

xo ALL=(root)NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount, /bin/findmnt

                          Then, I tried to install XO as a system service:

                            Any idea to solve this? I have to manually start XO with the forever start dist/cli.mjs command and when I reboot the server, the service doesn't start automatically!

                              Did you enable that service to start at boot with systemctl enable orchestra.service?

                              This will make the Xen Orchestra service start automatically on each and every boot.

                                Hi @john-c,
                                I did:

                                # systemctl enable orchestra.service
orchestra.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable orchestra

                                Then I rebooted the system and checked the service:

                                  @jasonnix I think it's time you try and use an installation script. You're clearly having issues that are specific to you.

                                  I'd just give up on this "I don't trust scripts" thing you have if you can't figure this process out, which is really straight-forwards.

                                    You may want to try removing the service and then installing it again.

                                          @Danp, according to the XO documentation I ran the following command:

                                          $ sudo forever-service install orchestra -r "Current_UserName" -s dist/cli.mjs

                                          Is this wrong?

                                            @jasonnix AFAIK it is correct. I've never personally used forever, so my advice is only based on what you've posted to this thread.

                                            This part looked suspicious, so that is why I recommended removal / recreation --

                                            # forever start dist/cli.mjs

warn:    --spinSleepTime not set. Your script will exit if it does not stay up for at least 1000ms
