Hello there, we released a new Pulumi Xen Orchestra provider last month ! It's worth noting that the work on this was started by some contributors from DESY, and that now we (Vates) commit to support and maintain it. This demonstrate the strength of joined work from both community and Vates on free and open source softwares

So what is offered is to declare your infrastructure as code, in Javascript or Typescript, Go, or Python (pick the one you prefer ) and to deploy, maintain, and update it.

Hello @msupport we published a step by step guide, read more in the announcement there https://xcp-ng.org/forum/post/94268

Hello
We published a new blog post about our Kubernetes recipe:
You'll find there

• A step by step guide to create a production ready Kubernetes cluster, on top of your servers, in minutes!
• Some architecture insights

Thanks to @Cyrille

@HamiltonWDS Thanks for the report. As it works with wget let use it! I'll switch from curl to wget in doc. In the meantime some colleagues will investigate more.

@coolsport00 Some forum users posted about this I think, like here

@coolsport00 Hello, I think you can find some relevant infos about GPU support, here in the forum, and also in the doc https://docs.xcp-ng.org/compute/#-gpu-passthrough

@coolsport00 Hello, I don't know the VMware feature you're talking about.

I would use Packer https://github.com/vatesfr/packer-plugin-xenserver and Cloud Base init https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html to build a Windows VM template. The sysprep would be run at the end of the packer for example using the provisioner powershell or in the shutdown_command

NB: do not forget to deploy guest tools inside the template.

@dinhngtu might have also suggestions

Hello, the Hub is offered as is. We'll update the available templates soon. In the meantime you can convert any VM to be a template.
More here :

@dsmteam Yes I totally agree, a user who logs out from XO, might also have the choice to logout from all SSO'ed applications. That would be for the feature request list

Hey @deefdragon did the installation finished using static IP addresses?

Hello, a community member also built a PowerShell module, using the (good old) jsonRPC https://github.com/rcfmartin/PSXO

let me ask a colleague about the task GUID-taskID mapping.

Hello @IvanK !

Maybe you did not saw this in news, but we released a PowerShell module https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-powershell

You can install it with Install-Module -Name xo-powershell -AllowPrerelease and connect Connect-XoSession -HostName "https://your-xo-server" -Token "your-api-token" easily.

Tell me what do you think of it.

Hello @tmnguyen

About the XOSTOR limit, I read the devs saying it is like this as of now.
About using Linstor created by and for XOSTOR with another apps, in your case a Talos Kubernetes cluster, I think it should work, but all the volumes not created by XOSTOR would be unmanaged neither by XOSTOR nor by XO. So imagine, one admin would check in XO that a XOSTOR SR is not used anymore in the XO web ui, and would remove it. But would not think that it was also used for PV/PVC Kubernetes. There is this kind of risk. And as of now we do not support this.

By the way, we are going to start this month to write a CSI driver for Kubernetes for Xen Orchestra. This means from within a Kubernetes cluster you will create PVs/PVCs that would be backed by VM disks, aka VDIs
