      @coliver Did you run with Sudo?

      I ran with sudo and had errors. Running in the root shell seemed to work though.

      Tweaked it, might have fixed that now. Not sure.

          For anyone wondering, here is the single line installer...

          curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottalanmiller/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash

          confirmed working from a root shell command.

          OP updated.

            Did you try it with sudo? Or just from the root shell?

              @coliver root shell is the only version that works from what I found.

              Using sudo you'll get error when the script attempts to create a few directories.

                Ok that's what I found too just making sure I'm not missing anything.

                  I hate typing sudo 50000000 times...

                  so I just sudo -i if I need to run stuff as root. Easy, and done.

                  I've got it going on my server now.

                    I use sudo su, because usually I'm already in the folder I want and sudo -i takes you to the root directory.

                        Works great, thanks for the time contributed throwing the script together. Much appreciated

                          FWIW, had to install nfs-common before I could properly mount an NFS share.

                            Yes, sorry I had to as well.

                            that's what you get with minimal.

                              Would be good if the install script is updated to auto-install this package. 😉

                                But you may not want to use NFS on your XO server. . . .

                                Maybe you use it just to manage the VM's but no do backups.... so um, no.

                                  True. However, this creates a situation where the software claims to support NFS remote shares, but it doesn't work properly without this package.

                                    NFS shares are likely to be faded out in favor of SMB Lib's that only get used at the time of backup or restore.

                                    Ubuntu Minimal is the installation media chosen, I would also assume Ubuntu Full DVD would work as well, but it would be bloated in comparison. If a note isn't sufficient I don't see how forcibly installing NFS-Common is going to fix the issue in the first place.

                                    Forcing NFS-Common onto your system would somehow defeat the purpose of using the minimal installation media 😛

                                      Yes it could be compiled into the script, even as an optional installation item at the end. But why, because then it's bloating the script.

                                      A comment on the script is enough to tell someone who's reading it what they should need.

                                          How in the hell did you reach that conclusion? Installing a single extra package comes no where close to "defeating the purpose" of a minimal install.

                                          On the other hand by adding a commonly used file sharing system you negate problems with people attempting to actually follow the instructions and get something working.

                                            But I digress.
