I do not think this is the intent of that portion of the EULA, but sadly I could see some trying to skate by on that.
I honestly would guess that it is. I mean, the REAL reason is for backups. But realistically, if it is used purely as a passing stop on a data transfer, I think that they are fine with that. A pipe, so to speak, doing no work of its own except file in, file out. But if it is doing anything with that file in the middle, then it's a different animal.

This is exactly why I posted this here.
I'm not sure why the lab equipment can't talk directly to the Laboratory Information Management System (LIS) instead of going through an onsite middle man.
I could guess that the lab equipment network setup is so bad they can't make secure connections, as at least one option.
Also - the lab equipment is not provided by the data collection company, they are completely different companies (Siemens - lab equipment, RelayMed - LIS). -

I'd say "less than a 50% chance", but definitely possible that they are just using the Windows machine to make the network connection the "customer's problem."

I don't follow, what do you mean customer's problem? as in, the lab equipment won't talk to the local sync client - so that's the customer's problem?

Is it? Sync from the external device is happening, then whatever happens to that data on the server side, as long as those changes don't go back to the device in question should be fine.
The connection out to another server shouldn't really matter, as that type of traffic is completely allowed on Windows desktop versions.

This makes it a little more likely that the machines is basically used as a conduit.

If they go out anywhere from there, it's not fine.

Building an updated XOCE tiny template to host on GH so people can perform direct install's from SSH on their XCP-ng servers.

Just now saw that Ubuntu isn't building a mini.iso any more. I may have to rebuild this with Debian instead to keep the size of the final XVA as small as possible.

Relaxing with some Christmas tunes and the munchkins while the SO is getting groceries and the roofers are hopefully on their last day. New roof isn't exactly the Christmas present I was hoping for :exploding_head:

Yeah, we get to buy ourselves a new washing machine for Christmans. Not nearly so expensive, but I feel your pain.

I've been running my XOCE on Debian for over a year now. It seems to work better for me for whatever reason
-
@bnrstnr yeah it's always been supported, the issue comes from the fact that Debian doesn't have sudo or curl out of the box. So adding a few dependencies is all.
I actually never finished it yesterday. Will get back to it, but the size did grow a bit.
