Thanks @julien-f

We had a discussion with our developer on Friday and he was recommending we look at ovirt to achieve our goal here, but I am not yet convinced we need to start down that path.

We've run XEN/XCP in our environment since version 5, hence I am keen to continue with it as our core, however customer service is a growing issue for us as our customers are complaining about lack of self-service capability which is fair enough.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks @julien-f

I have played with xo-cli and have an idea on it's workings, however that's not useful for creating scripts to utilise the API.

I want to understand how to form an API instruction to perform a task.

Is there a guide to creating JSON-RPC scripts that work with XO Server?

D.

Thanks @olivierlambert

Is there a definitive guide for the xo-cli commands ?

Where can I find an example of a JSON-RPC call that we can learn from ?

Hi @olivierlambert

I can't find any detailed documentation on how to access and use the API, i could only find the xo-cli command reference guide.

We want to create XEN functions (start/restart/shutdown) from our web application which is PHP.

Is there a set of docs somewhere ?

Many thanks

D.

Hi @stormi

Yes, I have installed and played with that and tried xo-cli, however it's just not a proper API that we can pass commands from an external application.

Cheers

Hi All,

I would like to hire a developer to help us create an interface for our customers to start/restart/shutdown their VMs running on XCP-ng.

We've had some discussions around approaching this, but I would like to hear from others what is the best way to create an API to talk to XCP-ng from a PHP based web application.

Happy to hear thoughts, input and advice.

Many thanks.

Darren.

Because I want to push users through a web portal interface which can obtain information from XO-Server for presentation back (ie: VM status, parameters, etc) whilst also allowing users to start/restart/shutdown VMs.

We looked at XOA however it was too expensive and the free version has nag text messages which I don't want presented to users.

Thanks @pdonias much appreciated.

My goal was to pass commands to XO-Server from a secure VM that can start/restart VMs via script.

I'm really struggling to integrate XCP-NG remote control functionality and now may need to start looking at something else.

Cheers

OK no worries, thanks OL.

Thanks Olivier. Surely someone is using webhooks and can share an example http request into XO-Server to start a VM.

The rest I can work out from there.

Cheers,

D.
