I that a pandemic legion figure in the background ?
hey Tom, 2 years ago(there abouts) you did the ol' subtle "we chose xcp-ng over proxmox for other reasons" !! Now you're explaining the "other reasons"!! Well played!! We really need an in dept comparison between these 2 projects pal. For instance, I was reading that if you have a lot of windows vm's, XCP-NG is definitely friendlier…. I don't think that's a well known fact, and the xcp-ng project is not exactly in the habit of toothing their own horn.
Hi, Lawrence ty for the video (my go to guy about xcp-ng on the web) I cant use the backup site on Xen. It says I have to pay or oppgrade my system to use it 🙁 Is there a way to by pass it? (its for a Home Lab Setup)
Hey Tom, can you do a video on the proper way to connect a APC UPS over usb to XCP-ng host so it can be notified to shutdown when batteries are running low. I searched the forums and I keep finding conflicting ways to do this. Some are doing usb pass-through to a VM and then using the VM to notify XCP-ng to shutdown the other VM, but then the one poster says every time it comes back online the USB has to be re-setup again.. this just seems over complicated to me. Can you just run something like the NUT service on the XCP-ng directly and have it gracefully shutdown the VMs and then it's self once the VMs have all stopped? If you have time to do a video it would be greatly appreciated and I am sure a ton of other home-lab users would find it very useful as well. Keep up the great work your video's are top notch and I know you spend a ton of time putting them together and editing the video it really shows, you videos are very detailed!
Good video. But one part is missing: how you backup and restore Xen Orchestra when you XO to backup XO.
Great video as always! I need another machine to play around with it – for now just got the Scale box 🙂
Hey Tom I noticed that the camera angle You use at for example 2:43 is not quite synced like the other ones 🙂
I like XCP-NG because it can pretty much completely replace VMware ESXi for most home users and SMB markets and is much less of a management headache than ESXi is.
I run an XCP-NG cluster at home across 2 Lenovo Thinkcentre SFF PCs and 3 laptops, each with 32GB of RAM. Backups to my NAS (and subsequently to S3 storage) haven't failed yet and even though I use Protonmail I still get backup reports via email through the use of a self-hosted Protonmail bridge so even that remains encrypted.
And my XCP-NG cluster runs on top of ZeroTIer with a self-hosted ZeroTier controller on a VPS "in dah cloud" so that even the cluster traffic itself is encrypted.
Hey Tom, great video! Quick question regarding your production and lab setups. The two new ryzen systems you build are those both part of your lab pool and then you have another set of ryzen servers on production , or are you using one ryzen in a lab pool and the other in production? How many hosts do you have, thanks!
Excellent video as always, Lawrence. Thank you. I would like to ask regarding the restoration. If the original VM is offline when I restore the backup can I choose to have the same MAC address?
About the Xen Orchestra, in case it's run as an VM on the host and the host crashes, how does the recovery looks like? And is it possible to have multiple running in some sort of failover configuration?
Great as always and thanks for sharing!
