Welcome to the xen-orchestra wiki!

This is a list of potentials ideas to improve Xen Orchestra. It helps to get creative :) Note: this list isn't sorted.

• SSH web client from console view (via VM IP with tools) #232
• Templating stacks (upload a text file to generate automatically all VMs) #248
• Upload ISO to NFS ISO SR via XO #288
• Call DHCP API to provision via MAC #351
• External cloud provider instances display #398
• REST API #700
• XS HA via XOA #1540
• Expose OVS features done with https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/xo-sdn-controller/

Xen Orchestra may leverage btrfs features of a local filesystem remote formatted with btrfs:

• to transparently compress backup images
• to segment the backup data using subvolumes (eg. subvolume per VM or per VDI)
• to snapshot a VM's delta backup data for recovery
  • instead of losing all backup data in case of error (eg. merge timeout), XO may detect a failure and revert changes at the FS level, allowing a retry of the backup in delta mode instead of triggering a full backup
