May 17, 201511 yr Author I compiled Virtualbox 4.3.28 for unRAID v16 RC-1. Waiting for lainie to upload to her server.
May 17, 201511 yr Is there a reason this isn't in docker form? It seems having every addon in docker would make things simple and convenient in one location.
May 17, 201511 yr Author Is there a reason this isn't in docker form? It seems having every addon in docker would make things simple and convenient in one location. First, I am not familiar with setting up docker. Second, I am not sure it can run under docker. Third, It will mean virtualization over virtualization and would probably hurt the VMs performance and probably limit accessability and performance to bare HW.

Was was curious about that and didn't think about the whole virtualization on top of virtualization.
May 20, 201511 yr Author I compiled Virtualbox 4.3.28 for unRAID v16 RC-3 (Kernel version 4.0.4). Waiting for lainie to upload to her server. These kernel changes are too frequent...
May 26, 201511 yr Hi, Not sure where this message will end up ... Last couple of days / week tried several times to login with phpvirtualbox. To no avail, obviously. So what is wrong? Everything required is running (virtualbox, vboxwebsrv) and I get to he login page, but not even the default admin / admin works. Recovery.php (to reset the default admin / admin) does not work either. Setting var $noAuth = true; lets me in (without username / password, as expected). But I would prefer to really login. Any thoughts? Permissions issue?

May 28, 201511 yr I'm using the Apache webserver by dmacias72. As a direct plugin; not using a dockerized webserver.
May 28, 201511 yr I'm using the Apache webserver by dmacias72. As a direct plugin; not using a dockerized webserver. I'm using the same webserver plugin, and I just turned on authentication and ssl in the webserver instead of using the phpvirtualbox authentication. Makes it much easier as I just have a single ssl login to get to several reverse proxied hosts as well as the phpvirtualbox.

July 8, 201510 yr Missing file on github? https://github.com/theone11/virtualbox_plugin/raw/master/virtualbox-package-2015.06.07.tar.gz just downloaded fine for me. Can you ping github.com from the unraid local console or telnet successfully?
July 14, 201510 yr Maybe I am being a little ridiculous here, but I think the better question is why ANYONE is still using virtualbox. I am seeing much better performance out of the unraid 6 built in platform and had very little trouble moving my VM over

July 14, 201510 yr Ive never tried, but I would assume not. But then again, I do not spend a ton of time stopping my array
July 14, 201510 yr Author That is one of the main reasons i would consider staying with virtualbox and not move to KVM.
September 1, 201510 yr Author Just came back from a long vacation. Need to understand the exact limitations of the 6.1 security checks. I will update all my plugins to 6.1 - probably not keep 6.0 compatibility. Also need to understand why virtualbox 5 is not compiling.
September 10, 201510 yr Any chance you have had time to look into this? I have a rare requirement to run a VBox Image next week for some training and this would have been perfect.
September 10, 201510 yr Author Any chance you have had time to look into this? I have a rare requirement to run a VBox Image next week for some training and this would have been perfect. What unRAID version are you running? I am compiling the latest VirtualBox v4 (4.3.30) right now for unRAID v6.1.2 (kernel v4.1.5) so everyone can at least keep using VirtualBox until I get the VirtualBox v5 compilation correct. And will update the plugin for 6.1 compatibility.
September 17, 201510 yr Author Updated plugin: 2015.09.17 - Added unRAID 6.1 compatibility and keep backward compatibility This will allow you to run the Virtualbox plugin also on unraid v6.1.x and onwards. I will now try and get Virtualbox 5.0.x compiled...
