Xen Orchestra SMB Remote problem
-
Or are you putting in just the ip address of the server, and in the following field putting in the folder?
-
It will only allow you to put in the correct format of IP\Share. So in this example, i only put in 192.168.1.200\xsbackups. xsbackups is the name of the SMB share.
I keep looking at this connection refused error. It makes me think it is something specifically with the web interface, or that the API is not working properly.
-
It might be a bug that needs to go up to @olivier to take a look at.
-
Please put a screenshot here with how you filled those fields.
-
mrfusion is the name of my desktop where the share is located. I also tried putting in the workgroup name in that field instead of the PC name.
-
Opening Chrome developer tools gives me these messages when trying to either add the remote share.
-
It seems you have side issues with connection between you browser and the server. Are you in HTTPS?

No, I'm not using HTTPS. I've tried from both Safari as well as Chrome so far from multiple computers. I've also disabled the firewall completely on the XO box just to rule that out. Still having the same issue,

Even antivirus software are a pain with websocket protocols. That's why we recommend to go in HTTPS before going further in debug.

Is HTTPS supposed to be configured during the installation of XO? I cant connect if I try to connect via HTTPS. Are there instructions available regarding how to set that piece up? Thanks for your help!

Yes, XOA is bundled with certs (autosigned but still).
Anyway, doc is here: https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/configuration.html

I installed using the installation script below, so I didn't use the appliance.
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scottalanmiller/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh | bashI'll take a look at that documentation and give see if that will make a difference and report back.

So circling back to this, I was determined to add an SMB remote backup share. Instead of adding a remote SMB backup share through XO, I just mounted the SMB share through Ubuntu where XO is installed. In this case, I mounted to /Backups. Then setup a "local" remote in XO that points to /Backups. Backups are now running and being stored on a remote computer.

Awesome.
