## What it is
A shell script that installs and updates Xen Orchestra and its dependencies on various Linux distributions, including a separate script to deploy a prebuilt VM image on XenServer/XCP-ng hosts. It lets home users and enthusiasts self-build the open-source Xen Orchestra web interface for managing XenServer/XCP-ng hosts and pools without buying the official appliance.

## Use cases
- install xen orchestra from sources on ubuntu
- update xen orchestra to latest version
- deploy xen orchestra vm on xcp-ng host
- self-host a free xen orchestra web ui for xcp-ng
- manage xenserver pools without paying for vates appliance
- automate xen orchestra installation on debian or centos

## When to choose
- you run XCP-ng or XenServer at home and want the web management UI without a paid subscription
- you want a maintained script that handles dependencies across multiple distros
- you prefer a self-built, unsupported Xen Orchestra over the official appliance

## When to avoid
- you run Xen Orchestra in production and need vendor support and QA
- you prefer the official turnkey appliance or supported Docker deployment
- you need a GUI installer rather than a shell script
