Xen Orchestra - Community Edition - Installing with Yarn

@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.

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

And higher quality, most likely

@DustinB3403 I dont know the path of this file...

@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.yamlby defaultlswon'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.
