Xen Orchestra on Ubuntu 15.10 - Complete installation instructions

travisdh1

@brandon Is xo-web installed directly in /opt? Looks like you might be trying to start it from the wrong place to me.

brandon

@travisdh1 Cant go to xo-web...

root@xenorc:/opt# ls
node_modules npm-debug.log xo-server

@travisdh1 the installer script should create the directories and install into them without any user intervention.

@brandon are the folders xo-web and xo-server under /opt/ ?

brandon

@DustinB3403 No it didnt clone from git... Should we try to fix the Debian one since it is 90 % done?

Ah, well, something didn't work right in the script then. You should have an xo-web directory as well.

@travisdh1 I have been trying for days...

Need to determine why git clone -b stable https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web is failing.

brandon

@Danp I am going to run :

git clone -b stable https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web
sudo cp sample.config.yaml .xo-server.yaml
sudo sed -i /mounts/a\" '/': '/opt/xo-web/dist'" .xo-server.yaml
cd /opt/xo-web
sudo npm install
sudo npm run build

since that is where it stopped?

travisdh1

@brandon Yes, should get the web interface working.

brandon

This happened after getting to npm install

@olivier Any reason the first two lines error out on your end?

@brandon This looks like another git problem. The npm install script wants to download a couple things from git, which fail and cause the rest of the script to fail.

brandon

@travisdh1 I have no idea.... network connection is fine...

Dashrender

can you manually fetch those two gits that fail?

brandon

@Dashrender Okay must I run:
git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/fizzed/font-mfizz.git)
git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/gulpjs/gulp.git)

but after that I need to rerun npm install then it will bomb out again?

Danp

@brandon May want to read this thread for some possible solutions.

Interesting - so he possibly has an application filtering firewall that is blocking git calls.

See @BRRABill, a change of git: to https: gets around the filtering in this case - application filtering, rarely worth the expense.

DustinB3403

I wonder if it would be easier for "us" to simply build an appliance version of XO and offer that as a direct download.

Maybe XOS?

Danp

@DustinB3403 No thanks. I'll leave that to @olivier and crew.

In any case, you'll hit the same issues: you can't guess what's inside the user network. Believe me, you don't want to spend your non-working time making support for free because someone forgot there is a proxy between their Xen Orchestra installation and outside.

edit: I think I have roughly some stats on support, at least half of the time is related to user configuration issues.

edit2 : my 2 cents on the current issue: not enough RAM to build npm packages.
