Thank you very much @adam0. This is a really great guide.

To be honest: every single VM that I run with XPenology runs into the reboot problem. Sometimes it worked very well, but after an update (or even some time later), the VM stopped working. On the other site: I run an XPenology on bare metal since 2 years without any problem. It is just a backup PC that stores all my files. But it is working very well. And I start the PC once a month. I am surprised, that you have run xpenology on proxmox without any issues.

Hey @GreX, thanks for your note and great that you have fixed it. Maybe it depends on the System / Server ? I am running an old Intel® Xeon® CPU L3426.

Hey guys, I hope that my topic is placed in the correct corner of the community. I had several issues setting up Xpenology as a VM (also as a docker) in my latest Unraid server. It took me some nights to figure out, which is the correct setting and the correct Version of Xpenology. It should NOT be an discussion why users want to run an virtual NAS OS on an NAS OS... 😄 But for clarification, why I decided to get it run: I love Moments and Drive and also run an DVB Stick, which works very well on Xpenology. it is also not another post of "how to install Xpenology". There are tons of manuals in the web. I hope, that my configuration will help people getting it run on their servers. 1. To get everything you need, I am using the Xpenology Tools in Version 1.4.2. 2. Use the Template DS3617XS! All other Templates are not working (for me on Unraid!) 3. The Bootloader should be 1.03b for the DS3617XS 3.1. Set the correct MAC, that Unraid will tell you 3.2. comment out all boot options and just leave the ESX option enabled! 4. The VM Configuration: 4.1. Use Ubuntu as default Template 4.2. Set as Machine: Q35-5.1 4.3. Set the Bios to SeaBIOS 4.4. First HDD should be the Loader image 4.5 Second HDD should be a SATA disk. 4.6. Save the configuration WITHOUT starting the VM. 4.7. Go back to the edit page of the VM and switch to the XML view 4.7.1. Search the second HDD and change the Controller to 1. Example: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/WHATEVER/vdisk2.img' index='1'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hdd' bus='sata'/> <alias name='sata1-0-3'/> <address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' target='0' unit='3'/> </disk> 4.7.2. Search the section for the ethernet and change the Type to "e1000-82545em" Example: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:77:db:5f'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet1'/> <model type='e1000-82545em'/> <alias name='net0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/> </interface> 4.8. Save the configuration and start the VM. You should know be able to install the latest 6.2. DSM (For me it is "DSM_DS3617xs_23739.pat") It would be great, if somebody else could check this and report if it is also working for him! Thanks guys and take care.
