testdasi Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just a curiosity question. Wonder if nested virtualisation would allow me to run unRAID under unRAID just for giggle (ok, for testing RC and stuff but mostly for giggle). Quote Link to comment
Fiservedpi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 i found myself in a similar situation the other day i was on my laptop in a win10 vm in a ubuntu vm RaidCeption Quote Link to comment

Wonder if nested virtualisation would allow me to run unRAID under unRAID just for giggle (ok, for testing RC and stuff but mostly for giggle). I run an Unraid VM on my main Unraid server regularly for doing Unraid development. I do not think that doing this even requires nested virtualisation. From a development perspective ir is great as it makes it easy to test against different Unraid versions. What I have NOT tried is running a another VM inside the Unraid VM - that probably requires nested virtualisation. 1 Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I do the same, I build all the Nvidia and DVB builds on a Unraid VM running on my main Unraid server. Dedicate 24 threads to it and 32GB. Power it off when I'm not doing anything with it though. That was the whole reason I spent so damned long getting it working originally was so I didn't interrupt my wife's TV/Music. The restarts required were unacceptable to her. It has to be said it's a **lot** easier now, @itimpi didn't you post some updated instructions somewhere after V6.2 which made it a whole lot easier?

Squid Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I think it's @SpaceInvaderOne that did that, and has a vid to boot Quote Link to comment
ljm42 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Please see this guide: AFAIK it details the best way to run Unraid as a guest on an Unraid host. Quote Link to comment
