theone Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I am going to do some comparative benchmarking between Virtualbox 4 and 5. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=43513.0 Please comment in the above thread Quote Link to comment
unevent Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Running Xbuntu 14.04 i386 in Virtualbox for a Subsonic premium install. I have the subsonic service running as non-root user and I have installed guest additions. I can see the files/folder in the shared folders which is linked to the music folder on my array, but am unable to access the music for playback. How can I add permissions to Xubuntu without running as root and get access to array files via shared folder? I have created user subsonic for the non-root user in Xubuntu. Do I need to match the nobody user on unraid in Xubuntu? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
theone Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Have you tried the "share folders" option in virtualbox (from phpvirtualbox UI)? It grants direct access to unRAID folders not through your LAN network shares - you will get a "VBOXSRV" pseudo network device that is actually the host unRAID. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, that is how I was going about accessing my music library on the array from the VM. I solved the problem by adding the non-root user to the vboxsf group then loging out/in and it works now. When using shared fodlers the 'sf_{share}' under /media is in the vboxsf group. Quote Link to comment
theone Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I have compiled Virtualbox 5.0.8 for unRAID 6.1.3. Waiting for it to be uploaded to lainie's site. if you upgrade don't forget to to upgrade to the latest phpvirtualbox 5.x otherwise you won't be able to access the Virtualbox WEBUI. Also clear your browser's cache - I had to. Quote Link to comment
Stochasticity Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have compiled Virtualbox 5.0.8 for unRAID 6.1.3. Sounds great! I look forward to giving it a shot after it's uploaded. Thank you for compiling and the update. Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's uploaded & available now. Had a long week with long days everyday and today is my first chance to get this up. Quote Link to comment
ChaOConnor Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I seem to be missing something. I installed the plugin, had it download the dependencies, etc. But I can't access the webserver to start configuring VMs. Is there a step by step guide? I think I'm missing a PHP plugin, but I don't know which one or where it goes. Sorry if I'm obtuse, I feel like I should have this cracked but I can't seem to make sense of what the dependencies are. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
theone Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Did you install the webserver plugin? Did you download phpvirtualbox and extract it into the webserver folder? Quote Link to comment
ChaOConnor Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Which web server plugin, Apache? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

kamhighway Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 In the "Mount and Startup" options, what is the field labeled "VirtualBox symbolic link (part of install package) - Change from default /boot/custom/vbox:" supposed to point to? I have my virtualbox vms at /mnt/cache/appdata/virtualbox. Is this where I should be pointing the Virtualbox symbolic link? Quote Link to comment

I have my virtualbox vms at /mnt/cache/appdata/virtualbox. Is this where I should be pointing the Virtualbox symbolic link? It is where some of the log files are kept. You can leave it where it is originally (flash drive) but that means there will be multiple writes to the flash drive and thus a chance of reducing its lifetime. Quote Link to comment
kamhighway Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 @theone Thanks for this info. I thought this setting might have been the reason that my virtualbox vms do not survive a reboot. Guess it is something else. Update: I'm not sure what fixed my problem, but virtualbox vms are now saving their state and surviving a reboot just fine. Quote Link to comment
kamhighway Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I've got Virtualbox running well, except that after rebooting the unraid server, phpmyvirtualbox comes up but shows no vms saved so I have to readd the vms after each reboot. Is there a setting I am not seeing? Quote Link to comment
lainie Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 VirtualBox 5.0.12 compiled for unRAID v6.1.6 is uploaded and available now. Quote Link to comment
kamhighway Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've clicked on both update buttons and the status page now looks like I've got 5.0.12 as the local copy, but this same status page still says I'm still running 5.0.10 of VirtualBox. Shouldn't this say 5.0.12? Quote Link to comment
theone Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Did you try restarting the server? Quote Link to comment
ChuckTSI Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hey all. I have installed virtualbox plugin. Everything is peachy. Kinda. I have one annoyance that I can't get past. When I create a Linux virtual box (have not tried windows), I set the network adapter to be bridge (eth0). During the install of linux, it's downloading happily and things seem great. But the minute the install is done and I boot into my new OS, I get that dreaded "for Wait For" during bootup which means it isn't getting an IP. NAT is ok and I get 10.x.x.x ip. (or whatever it is) and it can surf, but I want to create hosts that reside on my 192.168.0.x using bridge mode, it fails. For the life of me, I can't get it working. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I should note that in UnRaid: My eth0 adapter shows no IP. Ifconfig shows xenbr0 as having the 192.168.0.x number that is used on my network. Quote Link to comment
theone Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Are you using XEN or KVM? You might not be able to use VirtualBox if you are also using one of these features. Quote Link to comment
