I got it going and I will write notes here For anyone who finds this thread. Please take everything I say with a massive grain of salt as I actually dont know how I got it to work and don't really understand the complex notions.
- install and set up your unraid.
- put your iso of ubuntu in the iso share
- configure the iso share to be private, and give yourself read write access
- Go to VM and choose ubuntu, set it up with some cpu's, ram, point to the ISO, set network to br0, virtio-net
- I dont know if this helped but go to management access and enable SSH (this could be unrelated)
- install ubuntu, make sure it has a static IP when you set it up, I used this video to help
- use chat gpt to help mimic each step of the process when you get stuck
- configure ubuntu to have all the needed networking capabilities and settings such that other computers on the network can access it.
It should work.
PLease also note that CGwire is making a docker version which will be production ready at some stage. So I think, soon enough, there will be an app in the community app store, which would make it 1000% more easy to get running with the kitsu server.
