Xen Orchestra - Community Edition - Installing with Yarn

BRRABill

Ah, OK.

Sorry was out for a few days, just getting my brain warmed back up!

DustinB3403

The Yarn package does a better job of managing NPM, so we had to update the installation process, along with determine a way that we could install Yarn into existing systems.

Building a new system is almost easier in that you can export and import your configurations.

So there is no "good" reason to be stuck on one.

@DustinB3403 - I just signed up to say a massive thank you for this - I've been struggling with the previous instructions and going round in circles with no success. I've now used your script to build successfully on a ubuntu 16.04 server and am up and running.

I did find a couple of issues along the way - firstly, is there a typo in the command line? I think the correct path should be github.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh - I only got it working in the first place by downloading the script and running locally.

Secondly, on my system at least, yarn wasn't installed, so the first run of the script failed - it was an easy enough correction to make, but could be checked and covered within the script?

Anyway, thanks again

@noelweston welcome to MangoLassi!

@noelweston I believe the path should actually be -- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jarli01/xenorchestra_installer/master/xo_install.sh

noelweston

@Danp - OK - as I said, I've got round it - but I think there's a spare "edit" in the first post / instructions?

@scottalanmiller - thanks!

Looks like the actual command to install is missing. According to their website, the proper command would be sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn.

noelweston

@Danp - Yes, that's what I ended up doing. Might just be worth either adding to the script (if that doesn't cause other issues) or at least warning for noobs like me?

Danp

I'm sure @DustinB3403 will get it fixed up shortly.

DustinB3403

I've updated the script (sorry, not sure how I forgot the yarn install portion...) and tested both the installation, and then the force to enable the added functionality.

All is working as intended.

Also @noelweston welcome to the community, and I'm glad that I made your life a bit easier.

Hi @DustinB3403

I am trying to update the xo community install however after running the script successfully the xo web and server version remains old. I can see the master stable source is updated with latest version.
https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web - 5.10.4
https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-server - 5.10.0

After running the updater script my xo is still at xo-server 5.8.0 and xo-web 5.9.0.

Danp

@shwetkprabhat Can you show us the console output from running the update script?

Also, show us the exact command you issued to perform the upgrade.

CloudKnight

Excellent post, thanks for the update Dustin.
The Xen Orchestra install script should be a sticky on this forum so its easy to find I think.

@Danp
I have tried 2 of them:

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

Output of 1:

You need to address this issue before it will build successfully.

DustinB3403

Before you proceed with that change, make sure to take a snapshot.

Danp

@DustinB3403 Isn't that a given for any upgrade?

hobbit666

What's the easiest way to see what the latest version is of XO-Web and server?

You'd think that but often people need a reminder.
