This is not just a powerful symbolic thing: by closing issue n°1, we are really reaffirming our independance and our capacity to build everything without using any binary provided by Citrix.

It's really a great news for XCP-ng's future!

olivierlambert created this issue in xcp-ng/xcp

closed Build components from the sources #1

Since last week, we have a new team member @ronan-a is now part of Vates XCP-ng team, with @stormi and myself.

@r1 and @johnelse are still with us as external contributors.

@ronan-a , feel free to introduce yourself here (and the stuff you are working on)

https://xcp-ng.org/docs/

It's far from being complete, but it's a great first step in improving XCP-ng existing documentation and also visibility/credibility!

Everyone can still contribute (link on the bottom of each page), even if it's a bit more difficult than the wiki.

Let me know what you think about it

What about the wiki? We'll probably to continue to have very specific content there, and "promote" content to the doc if it "fits" for enough people.

https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2020/04/17/100-000-downloads-for-xcp-ng/

So you probably spotted the news, feel free to comment here

What about this one?

To avoid splitting the community, we'll merge XO forum in this category. It seems not possible (or very not trivial) to fetch the previous XO threads here, so we'll probably have a transition time until we redirect directly XO forum URL toward this category directly.

Maybe it wasn't clear? French gov won't do anything in the project, they just support it as a research and dev project boosting innovation, and indirectly contributing to create more jobs that can't be replicated easily elsewhere.

There's no "control" on how we decide to do the R&D, as long as we put resources into it as we said.

XCP-ng is a free and community project, and everybody who want to contribute can do it. There's no "link" between us and any government.

So far we got 4 templates available:

• Debian 10 cloudinit ready/disk growable/DHCP
• CentOS 8 cloudinit ready/disk growable/DHCP
• PfSense 2.4
• Alpine Linux 3.10

Would you like other OS? Or even apps installed in those OS? Let us know!

1. Why not using XO from the sources?
2. Fast clone shouldn't be restricted to Enterprise, sounds more like a bug than anything else. In short, XOA Free should cover all features of XCP-ng Center.
3. We also have possible plans for XO lite, a "XCP-ng Center" like embed in the host UI directly.

Less yellowish terminal to use less different colors and keeping the variations in the logo:

Quick note: XOA is Xen Orchestra virtual Appliance, and it's only distributed by us Otherwise it's Xen Orchestra from the sources or community, whatever you want

Hi,

I don't understand what you mean. First, are you using XOA or XO build from the sources or with a 3rd party script?

Just change HTTP in the Settings/server to connect to your pools with http://<IP> that's it

1. Not it's not SSH. XO is talking to the XAPI directly on port 443 by default. If you use http://<IP ADDRESS> it will use plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.
2. VM export code is completely unrelated to the storage speed. It's not the same data path at all. VM export is using a VHD program in the dom0 that will expose it in HTTP(S), also computing the delta on the fly.
3. There's no "network card speed" in the VM, because there's no emulation, only hypercalls (if you have the PV drivers installed).

Try to connect in HTTP to your hosts and see if it's better.

What kind of backup mode are you using?

Ping @julien-f

From a quick look, your backup speed is roughly average. You will never have 10G speed for VM export/backup.

Okay so everything is correctly set then

During a backup, check the host and XO VM stats, you will see on which network the traffic is flowing

Are you connected to the pool on the 10G IP or on the 1G one? (in Settings/server)
