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!

Your most loved* basic client XCP-ng Center 8.0.0 is now released:

https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.8.0.0

*of course XenOrchestra is the most loved advanced client

Hello together,

to avoid more and more confusion about the pieces of the XCP-ng Universe, I'll try to describe what is what.

The Hypervisor, the Host, the Virtualisation Server: XCP-ng

This is the thing you install on bare hardware, it consists of:

• the XEN kernel
• Dom0 - the management domain (it's basicaly a highly custom CentOS with drivers, various services and some glue logic)
• DomU - the VMs, the virtual machines, the things you virtualize
• Love

It's exact the same concept like CITRIX XenServer or CITRIX Hypervisor. XCP-ng is derived from them. Something like a fork, but not so hard.

• issues: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues

The basic management software, the windows client, the thing with the tree: XCP-ng Center

EOL-Notice: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/8202/xcp-ng-center-has-come-to-an-end

• community project
  • issues: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues
  • download: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases
• some help from Vates

It's derived from CITRIX XenCenter.

The advanced management software, the web client, the backup solution and more: XenOrchestra

• commercial product from Vates
• community driven
  • issues: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/issues
• can be build from sources with all pro features enabled
  • https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/from_the_sources.html
• only community support

It's not derived from anything (as far as I know).

The ready to use XenOrchestra, the appliance: XOA

• single line to install on XCP-ng
• can be licenced with pro features and pro support from Vates
• is a ready to use VM

The company behind: Vates

Olivier Lambert and his company Vates startet all the jazz. They provide pro support for XCP-ng (the host) and XenOrchestra. They help to sign XCP-ng Center and the XCP-ng Windows Client Tools (and drivers) with an proper EV certificate.

Happy Easter!

I hope you are all well at and in good condition.

Hello XCP-ng Center users!

I found some time for XCP-ng Center and put together a quick and dirty version with the latest upstream changes from https://github.com/xenserver/xenadmin.

It works with XCP-ng 8.3 beta.

Hello Community!

I hope you all had a good start into year 2020!

I decided to change the way I release XCP-ng Center due the lack of other people participating in development. In future I will only release builds based on the master branch of CITRIX XenCenter (https://github.com/xenserver/xenadmin).

Pro:

• fixes from CITRIX xenadmin (aka XenCenter) master branch will be faster present in our releases
• only one upstream branch to merge from; reduces the hassle to merge/cherry pick from/to 3 different branches (like 7.6, 8.0, master).

Contra:

• hmm... maybe there is none

Within this change the version schema will also change. I think I use the YEAR.MONTH schema, so the next release will be "XCP-ng Center 2020.01".

The first step in this direction is the pre-relase of the current nightly build 99.99.99.27: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v99.99.99.27

I published a nigthly build: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v99.99.99.29

The "quick" release of XCP-ng Center 20.04.01 for compatibility with XCP-ng 8.2 ist alive:

https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v20.04.01.33

@michael-manley shure, go for it maybe let us talk via private message

@olivierlambert to add up:

A backup isn't a backup, until you tested the restore sucessfully.

new nighlty build available: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.99.99.99.30

@Byscripts thanks for the debugger infos

@olivierlambert ok, so I was a bit too fast here: https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/7290

borzel opened this pull request in vatesfr/xen-orchestra

draft feat(xo-lite): Storage Repositories #7290

is there a great plan, what should be implemented first, or should someone just start and PR on Github?

what I build so far (yet uncommited, just local)

don't know if that is usefull in the end... at least it was a good exercise to get a bit familiar with the sourcecode

How do you debug xo-lite in VSCode?

My breakpoints don't match up, it stops way to early. Breakpoint is on line 64, VSCode jumps to line 11

My Setup:

• Ubuntu 23.10
• Firefox (Snap)
• VSCode 1.85.1

My config:

vite.config.ts

    sourcemap: true,

launch.json
