June 30, 201610 yr Nope because it's a virtual machine. To be able to use OpenFLIXR, you’ll need a hypervisor like VirtualBox (Open Source), VMWare Fusion / Workstation / Player / ESXi, Parallels Desktop or Microsoft Hyper-V.
July 1, 201610 yr Anyone attempt to turn this into a docker? http://www.openflixr.com/ I want to try openflixr Nope because it's a virtual machine. Just like what CHBMB said it virtual machine not ISO file I think you should ask the dev to make ISO file

Just like what CHBMB said it virtual machine not ISO file I think you should ask the dev to make ISO file I have got the image working in a vm....but cant configure it for some reason. I will have a look later this weekend when i have time. If you want to try do the following: 1. Download the vmware image from the site. It will download as OpenFLIXR_1.0_b4.ova. You will need to extract this file with winrar or similar to get the .vmdk file (OpenFLIXR_1.0_b4-disk1.vmdk) 2. Put the file OpenFLIXR_1.0_b4-disk1.vmdk in your VM directory 3. ssh or telnet into your server cd to your vm directory where you just put the above file. For example cd /mnt/user/domains 4. convert the .vmdk file to an .img kvm image using the below command qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw OpenFLIXR_1.0_b4-disk1.vmdk openflixr.img The vdisk size is 100gig but thin provisioned takes up about 5 gigs on creation. 5. Once you have your .img file the goto vm manager and create new vm and choose linux. Change the bios to seabios (else will not boot) Then change primary disk location to the location of your created .img file in your vm folder example /mnt/user/domains/openflixr.img Then start the vm and it will boot. The problem is i cant configure it once it runs. Maybe someone here with more knowledge will know why

Maybe someone here with more knowledge will know why Thanks gridrunner I will try it Update: I did try it but icant pass these https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwVQ1QEehpJJVjlDRVZ2SnFNdVE/view?usp=drivesdk There are no luck unless the dev did iso file
July 2, 201610 yr i cant also get it working using vmware fusion on mac when using bridged networking so maybe an error in the actual vmware image. It seems that the vm isnt getting an ethernet adaptor or ip so cant be configured. I have tried different nic types in the xml. Also setting static ip in xml using <ip address='192.168.*.*' family='ipv4'/> but still doesnt work. There are no luck unless the dev did iso file We wont get an ISO file as it is based on ubuntu server, with all the software pre installed. but he does say that OpenFLIXR 1.0 – KVM (Coming soon) So we should be able to use that when when its released.

So lets hope that version will work And i hope it will not take so long to release it
July 3, 201610 yr Hi, OpenFLIXR Dev here This is what user Havox has posted on the OpenFLIXR forums (www.openflixr.com/forum) For those that want to run on Unraid, I have been able to get OpenFLIXR running. extracting the VMware OVF file and copy the vmdk file to Unraid. Convert the vmdk to a raw virtual disk. qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O raw OpenFLIXR_1.0b2-disk1.vmdk OpenFLIXR.img Manually add the virtual drive to a new VM in unraid. Enable the network adapter by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file (change the network adapter to eth0 and save) You're right, OpenFLIXR is a VM, not an ISO or anything like that. If I understand you correctly, when I release the KVM image, you should be able to run it straight away. If it doesn't, when one of you can convert it to a working unRAID VM, I can guide you how to make the VM release ready so I can post it on the website. KVM image is expected soon (couple of days) after I release OpenFLIXR 1.0 Final which I expect to have ready in about 2 weeks give or take.

If there is anything I can do to help you with the kvm image release please let me know
July 3, 201610 yr To all those that want to run openflixr i have converted the vmware image and added the network support. I have posted the link to download kvm image etc here http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50156.0 We should continue to talk about openflixr there as in hyperion section.......edit.......wtf is hyperion lol i think i meant Hypervisor........ Not here in docker section.
