@Danp just tested and it again wiped out the config file.

The .xo-server.yaml is empty when you try updating?

Thank you @DustinB3403, that looks like a good option. I believe I can also go with CrashPlan through a FreeNAS server also. I'll weigh my options.

Post the command you are running to perform the update.

You should never use FreeNAS, unless you're using the Appliance. (odds are you aren't) The appliance is a box that they ship you, comes with support and warranty etc etc.

Not a whitebox you build your self.

@DustinB3403 I was considering the appliance from IX systems but I have a feeling the synology will be more cost effective.

Usually it is, and for a backup appliance it might be difficult to justify the cost.

And higher quality, most likely

@DustinB3403 I am using the freenas with the community edition, what are the issues you see with this setup...

In what capacity are you using it?

@Danp I have used 2 different commands and both resulted in wiping the file:

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater/master/xo-update.sh | bash -s -- -n stable
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_updater/master/xo-update.sh | bash -s -- -f

1st one I used to for last update and 2nd one to test when you asked to do it today.

@scottalanmiller as a NAS

This file would be at /opt/xo-server/.xo-server.yaml by default ls won't show it. But trust that its there.

Are you creating this file from scrap?

Do this

cd /
cd /opt/xo-server
sudo nano .xo-server.yaml

But in what capacity as a NAS? I assume NFS, consumed by XenServer? No standalone NAS or SAN of this nature should ever be used in production for something like that. If another use, I'd need to know what it is.

I see this file, I believe I have been creating a new file which is causing the issue. I didn't realize since the new file also works flawlessly.

I'd use a synology as a NFS server for onsite backup, directly into XO as an NFS target. Absolutely.

haha. . . . that is what I was trying to get at a few days ago.

If you edit the file (we create for you) this issue will disappear.

@scottalanmiller I am using freeness using NFS to backup the VM's, its working flawlessly.

Oh yes, as secondary storage it is fine. I'd still not advise FreeNAS, you should use FreeBSD, CentOS, Suse or Ubuntu instead, but it's not a big issue.
