Ok, thanks. Yes I'm eagerly awaiting XCP-ng 9 for testing.

Hi, check this thread:

More coming...

Hi

Since xcp-ng-8.3 is an LTS release, we think users should
be informed of any potential behavior changes as early as possible.

For example, I’ve made a small change to record timestamps in shell
history (it will help support and troubleshooters

https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp-ng-release/pull/53

Any objections to merge this change?

We don’t know of anyone depending on the current history output
format.
The impact is small but not zero so if anyone has any concerns, please
comment on the GitHub PR or here.

Regards

While looking my feeds i came to this comment:

This appear to use https://github.com/dockur/windows which is a VM inside a Docker container?

It looks like some are doing this for decoupling or context isolation it is over engineering ?... but if it works enough... any thoughts ?

@DustinB said in Low end devices , share your experiences:

@rzr but why.... what example use case would this be useful in?

At least (stress) testing purposes...

It could make sense for edge computing eventually... or DiY "battery operated solar powered portable environments"

I managed to install xcp-ng and alpine on a Single Board Computer : seco b68 powered by Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3350 @ 1.10GHz and 2GB of RAM !!!

Then 400MB can be allocated for a VM (or several)

Let me track the power consumption and imagine some minimalist-homelab use-cases ...
