Xen Orchestra - Community Edition - Installing with Yarn

@DustinB3403 thats right, I used your installer and updater for community edition. The only thing outside I did was to setup self signed certs for access.
Hrm. . .
Curious then. I can't get it to reproduce the issue you reported.
-
@shwetkprabhat Do you know what directory contains the certificates?
-
Is anyone here using the NFS function for off-site backup?

Its an option to remove if you don't need it.
-
@DustinB3403 I was looking to see if anyone has been able to do backups to something like Amazon S3.

Should be easy enough, how are you trying to do them?
-
@Danp /home/xoa/certs/xo-local.crt

@shwetkprabhat IDK. It just doesn't make sense that the script wiped out your config file.
They released a new version of XO earlier today. You could try updating again. Just be sure to take a snapshot before hand.
-
@scottalanmiller I was trying to use Amazon S3 through AWS Storage Gateway but I realized you need a client from Amazon to do that. The only thing I see possible is Amazon EFS, it's just more expensive storage than S3. If you guys have any other recommendations for off-site storage let me know what you use.
By the way, @scottalanmiller and @DustinB3403 you guys did a great job with the script. I ran it yesterday for the first time on a fresh Ubuntu 17.04 install and it worked perfectly! Thank you guys for putting that together.
-
@SickNick Have you considered creating an appliance on your XS host and share that storage with Amazon S3?
-
@DustinB3403 I am not sure what you mean by that, do you mean an NFS SR on the Xen Host?

No I mean, create a VM on your Host with the storage you need, and connect that storage with S3.
-
@Danp just tested and it again wiped out the config file.
-
@DustinB3403 I am not sure how I would do that, I have the option of backing up the application data (content stores, databases, etc.) to S3 from the VM using backup tools for the applications I am running. I was thinking it would be easier to manage backups using the XenOrchestra Delta Backups. I can push these to a local machine and to a remote location. I just wanted to have an off-site backup of the local VM's I am running.

So you are simply looking for a way to keep an offsite copy of your VM's (and all data within).
An easy way I did this was by using a Synology as my onsite backup repo, which I then tied into BackBlaze B2. There is a addon for the synology you can install and then the Synology will automatically sync any changes to B2.

The
.xo-server.yamlis 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.
