@ajpri1998 Thank you!

Dumb question, how do I get to the advanced tag creation UI? I can't seem to locate it

@borzel said in EOL: XCP-ng Center has come to an end:

Hello XCP-ng Center users,

Citrix (or Cloud Software Group, Inc.) has ended the open source development of their XenCenter as noted here:

With that, for me its basically over, because the XenCenter codebase is the foundation of XCP-ng Center and I can not maintain this huge C# software with my limited time without this code base.

Today I released a nightly build for you all to test with XCP-ng 8.3 (beta): https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.99.99.99.30
If all goes well and nothing pops up, this will be the base for the last XCP-ng Center Release 2023.12.

In the future I want to contribute to the web gui XO Lite, to get as much XCP-ng Center vibes into it, so we have a good alternative to XCP-ng Center soon.

Here you can follow the XO Lite progress: https://xcp-ng.org/forum/category/24/xo-lite

Thanks for all the help and feedback!

@AtaxyaNetwork Can that be implemented in the XOA VM, or does it have to run on the host?

@AtaxyaNetwork I need a ELI5 on how to do that

Yeah but it’s not available in GUI like you said

And auto start of the vApp isn’t particularly easy to do from my understanding

@olivierlambert Just a couple things for now

VM boot order, Set VM boot dependency on other VMs

@olivierlambert Is XO6 just a UI update, or will it include additional functionalities that are not currently available in XOA?

Get Wendell to talk more about xcp-ng

@olivierlambert Much appreciated

@olivierlambert Not sure what Vates' marketing budget is like, but have you considered doing sponsored spots with big tech YouTubers like Linus Tech Tips? That will surely help get more traction for the great product that is xcp-ng.

@olivierlambert Is something like this planned in the future?

@DustinB Yeah but VMWare has a functionality that can initiate a command which runs locally in the guest OS

So I was wondering if xcp-ng has a similar functionality

@DustinB I need to run Install-ADServiceAccount to install service accounts in VMs. This cmdlet unfortunately cannot be run remotely from a management server, or at least I haven't found a way to do so reliably

@olivierlambert Later in the life of the VM

@olivierlambert I mostly deal with Windows VMs and my automation is mostly based on PowerShell. There are some PowerShell commands that only work when run locally in the VM. I am looking for a way to initiate those commands at the host level. VMWare has that capability via the Invoke-VMScript cmdlet, so I was wondering if xcp-ng has a similar capability

I looked a little bit into cloudinit and and that seemed to be mostly around Linux guests

Is it possible to initiate scripts from xcp-ng to run inside guest OS?

I am essentially looking for the xcp-ng/xoa equivalent of Invoke-VMScript
