This guide assumes you already have a running Ubuntu 15.10 system on which you want to configure Xen Orchestra, everything else is documented below.
TL;DR: Run this command as root on Ubuntu 15.10...
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottalanmiller/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash
During the installation of your OS, you'll want to create a user outside of root, I made my user account xoadmin
How to Install Xen Orchestra Source on Ubuntu 15.10 (self compiled) AKA MANUAL installation
sudo apt-get install --yes nfs-common
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install --yes nodejs
curl -o /usr/local/bin/n https://raw.githubusercontent.com/visionmedia/n/master/bin/n
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/n
n stable
node -v
npm -v
sudo apt-get install --yes build-essential redis-server libpng-dev git python-minimal
git clone -b stable https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-server
git clone -b stable https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web
cd xo-server
sudo npm install && npm run build
cp sample.config.yaml .xo-server.yaml
nano .xo-server.yaml
#Edit and uncomment it to have the right path to XO-Web, because XO-Server embeds an HTTP server (we assume that XO-Server and XO-Web are on the same directory). It's near the end of the file:
# mounts: '/': '../home/xoadmin/xo-web/dist/
# save and exit
cd ~
cd ../xo-web
sudo npm i [email protected]
sudo npm install
sudo npm run build
cd ../xo-server
sudo npm start
The scripted installation thanks to @scottalanmiller
Below is the preferred Installation method. It includes the systemctl xo-server.service written by @Danp
sudo bash
<password>
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottalanmiller/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bash
<password>
In your favorite web-browser go to this VM's IP Address, login with the default user: [email protected] and "admin" for the password. Update your Login Details!!
Add your Xen Server(s) and go to town.
Automatically Start XO at Boot - See this Post by @Danp Also copied below.
Create a file in /etc/systemd/system/xo-server.service and enter the below into it.
# systemd service for XO-Server.
[Unit]
Description= XO Server
After=network-online.target
[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/xo-server/
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/node ./bin/xo-server
Restart=always
SyslogIdentifier=xo-server
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Save the file, and then run to enable the service at start up.
sudo systemctl enable xo-server.service
To monitor the service you can then run
journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50
For everyone on the newer releases of the "stable build" at least as of April-8-2016 there appears to be a bug when attempting to mount an NFS share; to resolve this follow the short process below
Replacing nfs-server-ip-address with the actual IP of the remote server and the remote-# with whatever is listed on your console.

New StarWind Virtual SAN Free comes completely unrestricted delivering all the features you get in the commercial version. Unlike the previous free version, new VSAN Free delivers unlimited node count, features, and capacity served. It can now be used in any deployment scenario, be it Hyper-Converged, “Compute and Storage Separated”, or even a combination of both. Thanks to multiprotocol support, featuring iSCSI, SMB3, and NFS, including RDMA-capable iSER, NVMf, and SMB Direct, StarWind VSAN easily integrates into any infrastructure, be it virtualized or not. In addition, support for VVOLs, SCVMM, and ready-to-use PowerShell scripts help users to speed up and simplify automated deployment, management, and monitoring of their Virtual SAN infrastructure.
Join our Live Demo to learn how to build a completely free multi-node hyper-converged environment with StarWind and your hypervisor of choice!
*Virtualize responsibly!

@nerdydad said in Fake Wall or Wall Closet?:
Any suggestions?
Tell your CFO to stop giving tours of your server room and focus on saving money for more important things.
Since Scott is our resident expert on said topic, I figure here would be as good a place as any to post SW articles regarding IT people who are in a position where they are unknowingly building an IPOD.
@BradfromxByte thank you for dealing with all of the back and forth and kick ass servers.
@gjacobse If you open PM, select "Print Servers" > Expand the server > Select "Ports" and then select Export you'll get the port details (ip, WSD etc) into a txt file.
@Obsolesce so yes, Jupiter is at a 85% angle all of the time... right?
@Obsolesce Is Jupiter always at a 85% angle?
Thats crazy, I would love to be able to see that myself but lord knows I wouldn't have the patience to source a telescope/camera and to figure out where another planet is...
Good job man!
@scottalanmiller They aren't down here in the states as far as I can tell.
@gjacobse not off hand, but can you not make a new one of those with a 3d printer or just purchase a new printer... surely that zebra isn't more than the part alone...
@JoeLong said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Just got registered, and browsing around to get the lay of the land around here.
Welcome
@Oksana that's awesome, to ask how would one use StarWind VSAN on XCP-ng if wanting to avoid the VSAN functionality that can get purchased from the Vates team?
@pattonb said in Proxmox: UPS:
Why not use apcusd (http://www.apcupsd.org/)
you can calibrate the ups and monitor and much more. I have it running on a few proxmox pve servers. There is a Debian wiki as well. (https://wiki.debian.org/apcupsd)
you just need the usb cable that connects to the ups.
In a scenario like Proxmox, sure use it all day long as you have community support only (generally speaking) it likely works just fine. When something doesn't work though and you need a dedicated support channel does this potentially pose an issue, if its not included and used as the default product.
@dbeato yeah that is a different utility (hyper-backup specifically).
Cloud Sync doesn't actually seem to produce the report anywhere that I could find either.
Grr
Thanks for looking @dbeato
