@BRRABill Yes, he did state that it was broken. I believe the fix has been applied to the next-release branch of xo-server. However, I used the script within the last few days and it worked fine.

Is "next release" the next MAJOR release, such as from 4 to 5? Or is the next release candidate, which like he said will be stable next week?

Is that a typical Linux nomenclature? Or does it vary from program to program?

next-release (with regards to XO) is what is up for release for the following week. (or as they get migrated to stable).

I'm not sure if its a Linux nomenclature or just a translation from Olivier or what.

Yes, you can switch back and forth between the branches. You just need to rebuild each time.

how does one rebuild after switching to the dev version 5 branch?

cd /opt/xo-server

npm run build

cd /opt/xo-web

npm run build

So they are releasing the new version next week? Version 5, I mean?

Because that is what next-release currently gives you, right?

The next-release time table is subject to Olivier and his team, so it could be next week, or it could be in two weeks. Though they try and stick to the weekly updates IIRC.

But people on this thread were talking about version 5, so isn't that what next-release got them? How else would they have gotten it?

I'm going to try it in a little bit. Just always trying to expand the old knowledge base.

@xogurunoob Yes, that is how you would switch to their development branch and check out the new interface. It's been a while since I tried it myself, so please report back and let us know how it goes...

not working

@xogurunoob Try this instead:

No. v5.x is the new interface that they have been implementing over the past few months. Next-release is still based on the older 4.x interface.

@Danp

Didn't like the version 5, switching back
too much tabs, didn't like it

I feel like he should have kept mostly the version 4 structure but add the good stats/monitoring in 5 to 4 and also a few more stuffs
the whole from scratch thing doesn't look too good TO ME at least

BRRABill

@xogurunoob said

If i want to test out the latest version 5 for xo-web
can i just do git checkout v5.x and then run your update script?

Ahhhhh....I missed this.

Linux NOOB!

I'm sure it will take some adjustment, but you'll eventually like it.

olivier

@xogurunoob I like constructive feedback: what do you mean by that?

Are you sure you need to go to some tabs each time you see a VM? I mean the "General" thing should be enough in 80% of the time.

Also, it was more a technical from scratch thing for now (as you can see in the recent perf tests here). We also built a lot of internal components, which will help to really modify the interface quickly after.

Its more of a UI thing for me
I like the UI of the v4 one compared to the v5(as of now)

I mean i think speed wise it is faster and i like the more detail graphs for monitoring, but i need to click many tabs to see things. Overall the UI can be made better.

Will be great if some great UI guys can help you with that, am not a UI person but i can tell if UI is good or not as a user pretty quickly

olivier

What I said is to hear precise reasons: eg "too many clicks to do this or that."

Everyone has various tastes, personal opinions are less interesting than facts

Alex Sage

@olivier did you take a look at the Vultr interface? Will the new interface be mobile responsive?

olivier

@aaronstuder We had checked multiples interfaces yes.

And yes, the new one will be also responsive (it's mainly already the case in the current state of 5.0)
