      @HolgiB said in Better / more flexible way to add and edit CloudInit templates in XO ?: All this Terraform / Open Tofu stuff is nice but I guess generating VMs via Cloud Init and XO will be the entry level for everyone before trying out a much bigger infrastructure as code solution, right ? Starting to use Terraform is not a big step, and it's how I manage even a small setup with < 20 VMs, though not everything can be managed that way, for example SRs cannot currently be created through terraform, so XO is still needed too. those init files often are technically correct but still fail for some strange reason I agree, debugging cloud-init is not a fun task. I don't know if it is an approach you could take, but in my case I keep my cloud-init extremely simple. It only sets up networking and a single fixed user account with an SSH key. Then other tooling, for example Ansible, takes over from there to configure the VM.

      @Nick-085 Thanks for the hint mate ! I wasn't aware that this script also installs a XO proxy. In the mean time we already have something like backup proxies in place because we splitted backup jobs to two XO instances in the first place since we wanted to separate test environments from "production" (so to speak). A third instance is used mainly for centralized administration (we are only slowly moving away from using "Xencenter" since we are long time Citrix Xenserver users). I guess old habbits die slowly. In the end I guess by coincidence we already build something similar to what a central XO instance plus two XO proxies

      @florent Thanks. OK, so for one time remote migration I will be fine with multiple rsync runs plus switching the central remote for my backups. Nice to have both options though.

      I can't follow what's done in 3rd party scripts, and it might be not trivial to find problems with them (if it's a problem due to the script or not). But before pointing any finger (I don't like that ) I would prefer to check with a fully up to date XOA on latest release channel and see if you have the same issue. At least, we'll be able to compare the behavior
