November 23, 20169 yr No problem, as long as I am still using it... Just promise us this: when you abandon Unraid/VB as an OVF-compatible virtualization/storage platform, tell us where you went so we can follow along :-)
November 23, 20169 yr No problem, as long as I am still using it... Just promise us this: when you abandon Unraid/VB as an OVF-compatible virtualization/storage platform, tell us where you went so we can follow along :-) There are other reasons to use virtualbox, but OVF works just fine with unraid's built in KVM manager. Frankly it's less work to extract and use the disk image from the OVF archive in KVM than it is to install and use the virtualbox plugin. The automatic disk image selection in unraid doesn't pick up the ova or vdi file, but you can easily type it in to the selection box and it works fine.

I hadn't realized that Limetech had transitioned from Xen to KVM. Here's a blog post about it. This question may be a little dumb: do we know which GA version of UnRAID includes KVM instead of Xen? How would one tell?

Looks like xen was dropped in v6rc3, about a year before you registered for the forum.
January 10, 20179 yr I uploaded latest Virtualbox 5.1.10 compiled package for: * unRAID version 6.3.0 RC5 (kernel 4.8.10) Is it possible to have a 6.3.0 RC6 build with kernel 4.8.12? Many thanks!
January 10, 20179 yr Author I already tried but something failed. I will try to get back to it sometime soon.
January 17, 20179 yr I might try this as I have an virtualbox machine running that I want to move to unraid. I have tried and can not get the VM to boot KVM at all. I this might work. Kinda killing a fly with a sledge hammer. john

January 19, 20179 yr I have a stupid question: How do I add a VM? The only built in way is with the command line. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idm3452 If you want a GUI, you have to figure out how to get phpVirtualBox running and talking to it.

April 23, 20179 yr Hi, maybe this is a dump question, but: How do I add an existing VM ? I have an .OVA-file and want to add it. But so far, I have not found a way...

Thank you for this! Very helpful. I have to reinstall the extpack every time my server restarts. Any idea how to prevent that?
May 16, 20179 yr I didn't have that problem. My issue was everything would install except for the extension pack. Running the command manually via telnet allowed me to accept the license agreement and then the GUI showed everything was installed. The extpack file should remain in the plugin folder on the flash drive and the filename should also be kept the same as how the plugin downloads it.

The prompt is new (since virtualbox 5.1.20). Does anyone know if there is a way to accept the license ("y") via a script? If so I will add it to the plugin... P.S.

That's normal AFAIK. I believe you are looking for phpVirtualBox, which needs to be installed and configured separately. If you want to make sure the virtualbox part is working without dealing with phpVirtualBox, you will need to use the command line. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#idm3463
June 3, 20179 yr Managed to get phpVirtualBox working and some VM's setup. They show up in the WebUI in Unraid but when i reboot Unraid it seems to wipe out the VirtualBox.xml file in /opt/VirtualBox on boot and defaults it back without the VM's in it. Is there a reason it is wiping it out. I am getting around it with copying the XML back into place and restarting the VirtualBox.
