XCP-ng Center v25.04 Build 25119
I’m excited to release the first version of XCP-ng Center under my maintainership, featuring several improvements and changes. Here are the key highlights of this build:
Portable XCP-ng Center
You can now run XCP-ng Center as a portable application! Just use the zipped release and create a data folder next to the executable. All log files and configuration data will be stored in that folder, making it easy to carry and run on different systems without installation.
Command-Line Parameters
I’ve added several command-line parameters to support specific use cases. These are particularly helpful for my workflow when deploying new XCP-ng environments for clients.
Here are the new command parameters you can use:
- /tempdata: Uses a path in temp for a temporary session, this gets deleted on close. This is great for someone who is setting up new XCP-ng servers at a customer site
- /datapath: allows you to specify a path to save configuration in.
MSI Installer
This release uses a new MSI installer built with a custom tool I developed (replacing WiX). It should upgrade previous installations made with WiX, but if you encounter any issues, please file a bug report and I’ll take a look.
Notice on builds 25054 and up
The way settings are done has changed. If you have a previous version of XCP-ng Center installed, your configuration will not migrate over.
This is due to the new settings system that was implemented in build 25054. You will need to reconfigure your settings. This change is to
allow for a portable version of XCP-ng Center where the settings and logs will be stored in the same directory as the executable.
Changelog

- Added Package to hopefully correct issue in #242 View

Your most loved* basic client XCP-ng Center 8.0.0 is now released:
https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/releases/tag/v.8.0.0
*of course XenOrchestra is the most loved advanced client
-
Thanks captain Borzel to maintain this software
-
@ruskofd it was like the versions before a little fight with git and branches … and I’m sure there are some issues hidden. But for the price you get an awesome product
-
A great release would be a great opportunity to change the XOA interface a bit.
-
@_danielgurgel you are in the wrong thread. This is about XCP-ng Center.
XenOrchestra (and the corresponding appliance XOA) is another client.
-
@_danielgurgel I think there is some redesign planned for XO.
-
Thanks @borzel for all the hard work
-
Argh! No! It doesn’t support 6.5!
Yes I know it’s old but I have some servers using that and migrating is out of my hands.How do I downgrade? I tried downloading 7.6 but the windows installer won’t run because it detects I have a newer version.
-
Is it possible to use both XCP-ng Center and XenCenter on the same Windows session? It could be a workaround
-

Good thinking cheers. I already had it installed and it’s working — at least for the three servers I needed it for.
-
Note that I didn’t say anything about Xen Orchestra (which is working from XS 5.x to CH 8.0 and XCP-ng 8.0)

I’m still using that also
-
Wish there had been a notice that backwards compatibility was literally being nixxed. This removed compatibility with everything from XS
4.x to6.5 which is 93% of the servers I had it hooked to.If you don’t mind, can you comment on that change in the release notes?
-
Unrelated but… wow! 4.x! Never heard of this version being used since we started XO project. I’m even curious: does XO work with those?
-
Reviewed my server versions after rolling back to 7.6.3.20, that was a misunderstanding on my part. It’s just 6.5 that we are primarily running that is now incompatible. I was mixing that up with another hypervisor’s versioning system.
-
I just tried the help feature from the program menu, because I’m wanting to see the port numbers that it uses. It appears those are not connected to anything?
-
@apayne as listed in the release notes, there is no help until someone cares about and does the work: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin/issues/20
