Free Xen Orchestra?

[olivierlambert]

I find the instructions rather confusing, the documentation says

Have you read https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/installation.html ?

Yes, I read that. But I was confused about the text I quoted, which said you can download XOA as an XVA file from xen-orchestra and then in the next sentence assumes that you have done this without giving a download link or some other way to find out where to find the XCA file.

@manilx
Ta. This seems like a way forward.

@ajbrehm-0 You can also use this: https://github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer?tab=readme-ov-file

One line command

@ajbrehm-0 Can you point to the exact place you've seen that text? So we can update it to make it easier

@olivierlambert I believe, it is from here
https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/xoa.html#via-a-manual-xva-download

[olivierlambert]

That's a very specific area of the doc, before that you have all the links to deploy it easily

Sometimes we want to try harder
Perhaps the confusing part is, if I go to https://xen-orchestra.com/ there is no download link. One could not realize, the download option is behind login. I'm only guessing.

[olivierlambert]

That's not the confusing part reported initially.

@karlisi Hey yes, that was it! Thanks!

@olivierlambert I didn't want to use any of the other deployment methods because my hosts are not connected to the internet. So I looked through the documentation to find out how to do an offline install. That's when I ran into the issue that I couldn't figure out where to download the appliance.

It has now been resolved. Someone gave me the download page.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll improve the doc.
