@eswaran It is in Tools > Options, this is at the program level, not a VM or Host

@eswaran It is in the Program Options, look for "Automatically switch to the Remote Desktop console when it becomes available" under Console

Hello Everyone!

Thought I'd get peoples views on this. Since XCP-ng Center is Windows only and basically stuck on .NET Framework 4.8, I am considering switching the UI over to Avalonia, rewriting the whole UI for that change, and upgrade to .NET 8.0. This will also allow Linux users to use XCP-ng Center as well.

Hello Everyone,

I put a release out of vNext Build 24308 as a normal release. Although its a vNext build, its pretty stable and works with 8.3.

I plan to do some changes before 24.11 comes out in GA but I just wanted to get something out now so you all have a version that is 8.3 compatible.

Please test and report any bugs you may notice. I will mention also 24.11 will change how settings are done which will allow for a portable version of XCP-ng Center. More to come later.

Forgot one last thing, even tho i may not be day to day programming on XCP-ng Center, please feel free to ask for pull requests. Ill definitely will look at them and merge them if they fit.

Also, I do apologize for slow updates. I have been working on tons of projects and will try to get some time to get this a good alternative to people who want a desktop app.

Seeing that 8.3 is released now, I will do some cleanup of what I have, and get a 24.11 release out after some testing with 8.3 GA.

On XenServer, This is designed for XCP-ng, not XenServer, so its support will be limited if at all supported. I seen some bug reports for XenServer, I will close those as wontfix, sorry.

Ok, so it's official! I will be taking over the maintainment of XCP-ng Center. I will have another test build soon with a few added features, and I am looking for a Q2 2024 release.

I will add GitHub Actions to automate test builds, so look out for those for future test builds.

Glad to continue the legacy of XCP-ng Center, and looking forward to adding useful features to people who prefer it!

Hello Everyone!

So I wanted to come out and mention that I would like to take over maintainership of XCP-ng Center. I personally use both XO and XCP-ng Center depending on use-case and have an environment with both.

I am pretty well versed in C# and have the knowledge of both XAPI and C# to continue its development.

I am in the process of taking the current codebase and modernizing it to work with VS 2022, and adding new features (ex. able to create a local ext store)

I am willing to talk to the current project maintainers and figure out a switchover plan. I would like not to see XCP-ng Center die, as I am one of the few "Not a webapp fan", I prefer desktop apps when available.

Also, let me know what y'all like to see added as well.
