        You're not completely destroying these VMs and recreating are you? Just make a default template of each to test with.

            Just create a VM in xenserver and convert it to a template, then you can spin up a new VM from that template in about 5 seconds.

                A CentOS 7 minimal install only takes 5 minutes, but still! Will save lots of time!

                  FINALLY GOT IT!

                  The problem was the npm -install -g npm - was using a wrong version of npm (should have read the output closer)

                  The full version of XO is sooooooooo nice! 😄

                  My next steps are:

                  • Create a script for installing in Ubuntu
                  • Try to get working in CentOS7

                    CentOS7 still seems to be missing the needed packages..... 😞

                      So I created an Ansible playbook for installing Xen Orchestra. All you should need to do is add the host to your /etc/ansible/hosts file, type the hostname from the ansible hosts file in the setup.yml file, add your username in the setup.yml file, and then replace user with your username in the main.yml tasks file.

                      This playbook only sets up Xen-Orchestra, so you will need to set the server up with ssh and python before you run it.

                      **Edit:**I uploaded a new file below, it has changes.

                        Why is there a special repo for Redis?

                          I've retested, and updated this how-to.

                          The same guidelines as above apply, but included are a few details to installing specific versions of NPM.

                          See the guide for the notes. (not noted, but updated)

                          Confirmed working with Ubuntu Server 15.10

                            I'll change my playbook, I was just following this. I see the documentation just uses the one in the Ubuntu repo.

                              @scottalanmiller That was a part of the guide I had seen when I was first setting this up....

                              double checking now

                                Pretty much.

                                  I'm testing without it and with Node 4.2.4.

                                    Install version 3.3.12

                                    sudo npm -install -g [email protected]
                                    

                                    This line has a typo. The command is install not -install. Is there a reason that you are going for that specific version rather than just updating to current?

                                    npm install -g npm

                                      @scottalanmiller the most recent version was unsupported.

                                      So it had to be >=2.27 but less than version 5

                                        3.5.3 is current.

                                          I don't see a user explanation in the instructions. Where does the user come from and what role does it play?

                                            Don't mix node and npm version.

                                            BTW, it should work with latest node version now.
