Better! So
npm i

xo-server
. Now got you the Continuous Delta -

Just the first line will give you the last commit message, be sure it's my merge of a pull request 200.

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
@DustinB3403 your branch (
git branch
should be next-release), then be sure you get the latest commit withgit log
(Merge pull request #200).npm i
also to be sure you have every dependencies (and it will also build) -
RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
If it's a new job, you shouldn't have multiple copies of a full VHD. Check your build!

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
I think because it was a previous delta job, it didn't modified some old files (I'm not certain of the behavior when changing in the middle of a previous delta job, I didn't personally coded this part ^^)
So is it still working or not?
If not, delete the old backup files, it will re-create the right things accordingly.

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
@mlnews Problem is also in next XenServer version. So we'll have better luck to write our own solution/workaround for this!

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
Due to problem with XAPI and metadata import, I decided it's more safe to write ourselve a solution to avoid use of those metadata. XAPI team told me that the code around this is not in a good shape...
So postponed for Monday. Sorry guys, there is some stuff we can't guess before we got trouble inside XAPI ^^
edit: at least our QA pass is useful ^^

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
Don't forget to copy the
vhd-util
binary directly inxo-server/bin
. Thevhd-util-convert
folder is useless after themake

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
No new thing in the web UI for continuous delta, it's automatic. If you are on
next-release
, it should already work now.edit: it's the same job/backup thing. So restart after update, and re-run your backup jobs. You'll see the oldest delta merged in the full.

/teasing:
edit: blog post is out: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xenserver-vm-continuous-replication/
Currently in QA.

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
We packaged a binary for offline merging into XOA. You'll have to build it yourself because our version is not portable so far.
Clone https://github.com/rubiojr/vhd-util-convert,
make
and put thevhd-util
binary insidexo-server/bin/
We didn't had enough time to make a portable stuff for 4.12

Should be out tomorrow if we got no QA surprise in the release process: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/continuous-delta-backup/

RE: Xen Orchestra on Ubuntu 15.10 - Complete installation instructions
Lodash thing should be fixed everywhere

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
@johnhooks haha nope, that's something designed with Paper, IIRC (by my associate, who is ergonomist and spend our IT budget in Apple iStuff hardware )

RE: Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
@johnhooks We'll re-create it for multiple reasons:
- we stacked a lot of features inside something not planned for that
- so from a dev point of view, the code is messy
- from a user point of view, it's not really coherent everywhere
- we got perf issues for big infrastructure (1500+ VMs)
Thanks to our experience now, we can rebuild it from scratch with a LOT more in mind. It allows:
- a nice refactoring from the dev point of view
- using React+Flux for a fully component oriented software
- thinking "components" is far far better for dev but also for building generic and powerful UIs
- display only what's important
An example for the VM view:
And with a legend:
Be advised, that's a draft; we already made some changes since.

Xen Orchestra - a web solution for XenServer
I think it's better to regroup a little bit all the recent conversations around XO in this topic (if it's fine?). It will be better for me to have one place to follow here than checking for new topics about it
Documentation
The first place to go before asking questions! https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/
Quick links:
Quick intro
XO is a kind of middle-ware between you and multiple XenServer hosts. It doesn't require any XenServer setup: it works out of the box.
With XO, you can manage, backup, delegate your XenServer infrastructure.
Business model
If you are a company and you want a turnkey solution with support: XOA which contains:
- a virtual appliance with XO installed (nothing to do)
- an automatic updater (one click to upgrade)
- corporate support and full priority to fix any issue
- QA is done on XOAs, code/dependencies are "frozen" between releases
If you are not interested by the turnkey solution, you can install it from the sources, you'll have ALL XO features, but no XOA features (the previous given list). If the solution begin to go in production in your company, we strongly suggest to get a XOA to avoid any source problem. It's also paid customers which help to continue to work full time on this
Things to know
- You can complain about the UI, it's already planned to rewrite it from scratch in the next months
- I'm the project leader (and CEO of the company selling it), feel free to ask me anything
- We like to be transparent about how it works to build a project like this. Sharing thoughts is always positive.
- I'm personally convince that more brains are working on a topic, better it is: tell me your needs or ideas, it's always a good thing!
- I've got no problem with critics, go ahead
- We are a very small company, 100% dedicated on XO. We don't have 100 engineer working on it (not even 10)
I'll keep to update this post.
Custom builds
Here, I'll post link to scripts/stuff from people here to create a functional XO installation quickly.
Keep in touch
We try to release every 15 days. I'll write at least one or two blog post per week here: https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/
I put the new articles on Twitter if you want to follow: https://twitter.com/xenorchestra
If you are a XO user, reading the blog is really helpful to catch last features and how to's
