Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

###################################################################
### VirtualBox is available in a number of package formats native to various common Linux distributions
### Editor: Matty Shack
### Document Version: 2.10 (VirtualBox-4.2.10-84104)
### Date: 21 March 2013
### VBox: 4.2.10
### PURPOSE: Provide instructions to install a functioning VBox on the ReadyNAS x86

# Oracle VirtualBox References:
# Home: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html
# Latest Version: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/LATEST.TXT
# User Manual: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf
# SDK Ref: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/SDKRef.pdf

### WARNING: There may be typos and grammar missteps. I'm no expert or even a programmer,
### but this guide includes many hours of typing, trial, error and hair loss.
### I'm sure there are better ways to express different aspects of this guide and coding,
### so please be kind as you post recommendations for fixes and improvements.

### The lines that start with a ':' indicate that you have already followed this complete guide with success,
### but want to start over and try some new changes. For example, I messed up the permissions and could not
### get anything to work without deleting VBox and starting fresh. So I only needed to follow the ':' lines
### as all other relevant steps like, compiling the kernel, had not changed. Do not type the ': '. It is only
### used as a reference to identify the correct lines to focus on if you are conducting a partial rebuild.

### If the system reports that it cannot write because you are out of space, type 'df' to check disk space and 'df -i' to check for free i-nodes.
### Disk Space: There must be space available on the file system, meaning that there are still unused data blocks.
### i-Node Metadata blocks: Whenever a file is created on a file system, an inode is used to contain information about the file.
### Most file systems have a fixed amount of inodes. The available number of inodes are set during the mkfs operation of the file system.
### The only way to fix either problem is to free space/i-nodes by deleting files in /dev/md0. Start with your /root, /tmp, and /var/log directories.

### As others have voiced, NetGear does not appear to be interested in the ReadyNAS line anymore.
### VBox may extend the life of your server and allow it to be re-purposed beyond its creators' original intent.
### I ask that others on this forum continue to lend a helping hand as they share their knowledge and experiences
### with new users.
### Thanks

### *** My READYNAS Box Setup *** ###
# System: NetGear ReadyNAS Ultra 6, 6x3=18TB, 4GB Memory
# Installed Firmware: 4.2.22 ~ RNDP6xxx_4.2.22
# Linux OS: Debian v4.0 ~ Etch
# CPU Core: Intel dual core x86 (64 bit)
# NOTE: Based on the stock ReadyNAS CPU, it does not support Hardware Virtualization (Hyper-V).
# This means that many advanced OS's like Windows8 or OSX will not run from these servers.
# However, I've upgraded my CPU from E2160 to E7600. I can now run Win8Pro in a VBox VM.
# See thread http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29284

### Section E: Install phpVirtualBox and FSniper
####################################################
# phpVirtual Box allows you to work with your ReadyNAS VirtualBox from a web browser
# It is an open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP.
# As a modern web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances.
# Much of its verbiage and some of its code is based on the (inactive) vboxweb project.
# phpVirtualBox was designed to allow users to administer VirtualBox in a headless environment
# - mirroring the VirtualBox GUI through its web interface.

#
### Note: PHP must be installed and working before continuing ###
#

## Six (6) Easy Steps: This will surely get you to Narnia or Never Never Land

## You should complete Steps [1 - 4]. However, Steps [5 - 6] are optional.
# Let's get this party started

## Step 1: Add Users to VBoxUsers Group

adduser vbox --no-create-home --ingroup vboxusers

## Sample Output:
# >>
# Adding user `vbox' ...
# >>
# Adding new user `vbox' (1005) with group `vboxusers' ...

# >> Not creating home directory `/home/vbox'.
# >>
# Enter new UNIX password:
# >>
# Retype new UNIX password:
# >>
# passwd: password updated successfully
# >>
# Changing the user information for vbox

# >> Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
# >>
# Full Name []: vbox
# >>
# Room Number []:
# >>
# Work Phone []:
# >> Home Phone []:
# >>
# Other []:
# >> Is the information correct? [Y/n]

adduser vbox vboxusers

# Give User vbox ownership of Image Storage Directories

cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/importimage/
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/exportimage/
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/working/

## Step 2: Install PHP VirtualBox Manager for ReadyNAS
# Download PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin
# Site: http://netgear.tonidoid.com/app/webshare/share/NETGEAR%20ReadyNAS%20Tech%20Documents/Add-on/x86/?vm=list

cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox/backup
wget http://netgear.tonidoid.com/app/webshare/share/NETGEAR%20ReadyNAS%20Tech%20Documents/Add-on/x86/PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin?action=download
mv PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin\?action\=download PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin

## Create addons-config Share using FrontView:
# FrontView: [Shares] [Add Shares] [Name: addons-config] [Description: Addons-config Share] [Apply]
# FrontView: [Share Listing] [CIFS ~ addons-config] [Advanced Options] [Owner: nobody] [Group: nogroup] [Rights: Reade/write] [Permissions: [x][x]] [Apply]

## Install PHPVBoxMgr using FrontView:
# FrontView: [Add-ons][Add New] then [Browse]: \\ReadyNAS_IP_Address\addons-config\VirtualBox\backup
# <Select>: PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin
# FrontView: [Upload and verify image..][Warning][OK] then [Install]
# FrontView: [Add-ons][Installed] -> Verify that you see PHPVBoxMgr
# Do not attempt to Edit or [Load Config] from FrontView's VirtualBox Manager

## Close Browser Window

## Step 3: Upgrade PHP VirtualBox Manager from v0.4 to v4.2-4
### *** PHP Virtual Box Manager v4.2-4 *** ###
# REF: http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/
# Remarks: VirtualBox 4.2.x Compatible --- 4.2-4 release

# Download Latest version of PHP VirtualBox Manager:

: cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox/backup
rm -rf phpvirtualbox*
wget `wget -q -O - http://phpvirtualbox.googlecode.com/files/LATEST.txt` -O phpvirtualbox-latest.zip
unzip phpvirtualbox-latest.zip
cp /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/config.php /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/config.php.bak
mv /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/config.php-example /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4/config.php
: rm -rf /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/
: cp -rf /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.2-4 /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr

## Step 4: Edit PHP VirtualBox Manager Configuration File
# Location of file: /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/config.php
# There is a bug in 4.2-4 that prevents the <console> preview from working, add line 14 to fix.
# Edit Instructions:
: nano /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/config.php
>> Line 12: var $username = 'vbox'; vbox is the username you created in step 3 above;
>> Line 13: var $password = 'xxx'; where xxx is the password you created in step 3 above;
>> Line 14: var $consoleHost = 'ip.address.of.ReadyNAS';
>> Line 175: var $enableAdvancedConfig = true; remove the # to activate this feature;
>> Line 181: var $startStopConfig = true; remove the # to activate this feature;

## Step 5: Install fsniper to make life even more easier: This is Genius. Pure Genius!
# Fsniper is a directory monitor that can be used to execute predefined actions on files that enter the monitored directory.
# This can, for example, be used to monitor your downloads folder and sort downloaded files automatically into your file system.
# Unlike cron jobs or bash scripts, fsniper uses inotify to monitor file changes.
# This enable it to react immediately and efficiently to changes of the file system.
#
# Common uses include making a single drop directory and having semi-intelligent scripts figure out what to do with those files.
# More information can be found at the sources below:
# Source 1: http://blog.secaserver.com/2011/06/fsniper-monitor-newly-created-files-in-directory/
# Source 2: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fsniper
# Source 3: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ruderwiki.de%2Fwiki_neu%2Findex.php%2FEfa_unter_Linux
#
# We will use fsniper to automatically make VBox the owner of image files placed in the
# /addons-config/VirtualBox/VirtualMachines/importimage directory and to automatically
# unpack files placed in the VBox backup image directory.
#
# I place all images from the iNet into the /addons-config/VirtualBox/VirtualMachines/importimage directory.
# For example, I get ClearOS VBox images from http://www.clearfoundation.com/Software/downloads.html
# You can also find a plethora of images from http://virtualboxes.org/images
#
# The "sudo sh -c" line creates the fsniper config file. Copy and past all at once into your terminal screen.
# The 'EOF' tells sh to stop reading. You may have to hit <Enter> after you pasted the code to close the file.
# All comments are placed in the fsniper log file: /root/.config/fsniper/log
# fsniper will not notice the file until it is unpacked from the tar/7z/zip/rar container.
#
# Added Bonus, VDI files are automatically compressed to make them smaller.
# Remember this will be done only once when a *.vdi file is first placed into the directory.
#
# Edit the fsniper config file to do what you want it to do - No worries, Be Happy!
