Would be nice to share our homelabs, might interest new users:

I'll begin:

1 pool with 2x Protectli VP6670 (64GB and 96GB RAM) (2x 10G bonded for VM network, 1x 2,5G for management network).
Both with Internal 1TB SSD as local ext4 SR, 1TB nvme for OS and SR.
NFS-SR on QNAP TBS-h574TX (10G connection) and QNAP TVS-h1288X for backups (10G connection, NFS).

2 switches:
Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG for 10G network
Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S for 1G and POE

Netgate 8200 pfsense for firewall
ODROID-N2+ for HomeAssistant, Uptime Kuma moitoring

@olivierlambert The units are top notch!

I still have 1 FW6C 2 FW6E's (had them running proxmox before, xcp-ng after that but switched to the VP6670 because of 10G network).

NEVER ever had one single issue with them. Also bios updates are easy.

@bleader All pools updated via RPU without issues.

@bleader 2 production polls updated via RPU without issues.

@gskger XCP-NG on ARM/Ampere will be huge!!!!
The running cost of those machines is a big win over x86. Power is expensive in Europe. Hetzner is in full swing on that front.
And not everything runs in Windows I guess it's only the smaller fraction of all the VM's in the world.

Just ordered my 2nd VP6670 for my main pool. You can now select it with xcp-ng preinstalled

@olivierlambert If the issue turns up again.... It was a weird one!
As I deleted the previous backup jobs I can't repeat. Just had to move on.

Perhaps someone else stumbles upon this and finds this thread......

I will report if it happens again (will try it wit the new backup)

@olivierlambert done.

@manilx What I can say is that the performance is very good.
Original backup on QNAP TBS-h574TX nvme NAS. Mirroring to QNAP TVS-1288X with HD's.
10G connection Protectli VP6670/both QNAPS.

XO:

Receiving QNAP:

@olivierlambert Disabled the data removal option again.
1st backup run: snapshot created
2nd one: still just the one snapshot.

Seems like enabling, backing up, disabling the option cleared this up.

Will monitor.

@olivierlambert Positive. Will disable it again and see if it happens again.

@Danp Delta using NBD.

Non-NBD where also OK on "CBT" builds.

@olivierlambert No harm done! Yes, looking forward to bug fix and test. It's actually the only "serious" issue I've found, running 8.3 since beta 2 came out.....

@Forza Actually I have the same "issue", so +1 here.

@michmoor0725 https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/8618/restoring-from-backup-error-self-signed-certificate/29

@tsrats Actually had it bookmarked (like a few others)

@ptunstall In the Advanced settings of the VM, select the host:

@Danp Can confirm, I also get an "internal error" when trying to download logs.

@gskger Good catch

@stormi Upgraded my homelab pool (2 Protectlis VP6670) via ISO.
Master first and then 2nd host.

Only thing was that the master did not ask for network config and the 2nd host did ask for network configuration to use the repository BUT I did choose local repository...

After that all went fine.

What's the cli command to check the version?
