January 22, 201412 yr Has anyone in anticipation of the unRAID 6.0 alpha / beta (whichever it is) started working on a guide for how to enable / configure / use KVM / Xen? Has anyone compiled all the needed 64-Bit packages for Xen / KVM Host support (assuming Tom hasn't done this already for us)? Any plugin developers interested in taking on the challenge of creating a plugin?

January 22, 201412 yr Author LOL, this will become a long thread before it ever gets released Wouldn't hurt to start discussing it and trying to recruit one the plugin developers.

January 22, 201412 yr One thing I'm not clear on; Is it expected that the impending release might have the capability of hosting vms or is the xen/kvm support restricted to running unraid in a vm without recompilation? I would love the former, I think I expect the later, for now.

Both. It's simple matter of enabling KVM / Xen (host and guest) and adding the Paravirtualized Drivers (Xen and Virtio) in the Linux Kernel. The default Linux Kernel has these enabled and I can't think of a Linux Distro that doesn't either. The "issue" if you want to call it one... Is loading the various packages / libraries (Tom may include these for all we know) and configuring it for your system. This is where a plugin would become handy.

This is where a plugin would become handy. The amusing part of this is that we're discussing building a plug in to allow people configure a system the purpose of which is that it doesn't need to use plug ins. There's something intrinsically wrong with that approach.

There's something intrinsically wrong with that approach. I do see the humor in it. Assuming Tom adds the various packages / libraries... The plugin would technically just be setting configuration settings in the a few config files.
January 22, 201412 yr Sigh, just found out that we can't even reliably run trakt with the unRAID plex media server. Discovering so many new tools here and there everyday just to find out i'm not able to install it easily on the NAS :'( Now that Tom has given some updated news, I just can't wait to fire up a VM on the unRAID 6.0 and get quite a whole lot of stuff up and running!!
