Re: Update: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.2

MattyShack, thanks for the detailed instructions. After factory resetting my Pro, I was able to get VBox up and running. I will eventually have some questions about the install, but I just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into this.

Re: Update: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.2

MattyShack, when I reboot my Pro, the vboxwebsrv doesn't start automatically. Or maybe it's just not starting properly. Anyway, if I simply run "vboxwebsrv -b", then everything is fine. Any tips on how to resolve this? As a side note, I do NOT have ReadyNAS Photos II installed. I'm able to install it, but I can't get the service to start. It's weird. Don't know if that has anything to do with vboxwebsrv not starting properly.

Thank you for the great tutorial, just one problem.
the phpvboxmgr does not exist at the link you put up for the bin, is there a way to fix it?

Re: Update: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.2

Mattyshack's links to the instructions are no longer valid. If anyone has them, please pm me a copy. I need to rebuild php and I think the instructions here were slightly different than mattyshack's earlier vbox instructions which are still here in the forum. Much better to have the text in the forum than a link IMHO anyhow.

thanks

Re: Update: Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.2

Looks like I was able to rebuild and add what I needed. I'd still like to get the full instructions back online if we can. If anyone else builds virtual box and uses ajaxplorer (now called pydio) you need gd built into php after you update to pydio. To get that you just need to rebuild php and include --with-gd on the configure command line.

I guess mattyshack disappeared permanently. Is there any way to get the instructions back from before editted them out and moved them to google?

### 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 you know, NetGear has moved on to their new ReadyNAS line [100/300/500 series] and, I assume, will give very little support to any prior model.
### That being said, 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: 4.2.24 ~ RNDP6xxx_4.2.24
# Linux OS: Debian v4.0 ~ Etch
# CPU Core: Intel dual core x86 (64 bit)
# NOTE: The original ReadyNAS series does not support CPU Hardware Virtualization (Hyper-V).
# This means that many advanced OS's like Windows8 or OSX will not run from these servers.
# I have upgraded my CPU from E2160 to an Intel dual core Q6600 running @ 2.4 GHz.
# As a result, I can now run Win8Pro in a VBox VM from my ReadyNAS.
# See thread weblink>www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=29284

### *** Target Files: Virtual Box 4.3.2-90405 (This install uses x86_64)*** ###

### *** PHP Virtual Box Manager v4.3-0 *** ###
# REF: weblink>sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/
# Remarks: VirtualBox 4.3.x Compatible --- 4.3-0 release
# This line may not work due to move from Google Code to Sourceforge

# wget -U IE6 -O phpvirtualbox-latest.zip weblink>downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0.zip

### KEY NOTES:
# These steps were performed on a 64bit x86 ReadyNAS system that was upgraded to firmware 4.2.24
# The ReadyNAS was also freshly cleaned using the 'Factory Default' boot setting.
# Therefore, you may experience dependency errors or system conflicts that I did not have during my VBox install.
# Also, I recommend that you set your ReadyNAS to a static IP Address so that VBox Manager will always see the same host IP.
# Lastly; If you are using Ethernet Teaming, ALB will interfer with VBox.

### 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 verbage 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 user VBOX to group VBOXUSERS
addgroup vboxusers
adduser vbox --no-create-home --ingroup vboxusers

## Sample Output: You will provide a new xxx password
# Adding user `vbox' ...
# Adding new user `vbox' (1004) with group `vboxusers' ...
# Not creating home directory `/home/vbox'.
# Enter new UNIX password: xxx
# Retype new UNIX password: xxx
# 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] Y

# Give User vbox ownership of Image Storage Directories
adduser vbox vboxusers
cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/importimage/
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/exportimage/
chown vbox:vboxusers ./VirtualMachines/working/

## 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]
# Share folder owner: nobody
# Share folder group: nogroup
# Share folder owner rights: read/write
# Share folder group rights: read/write
# Share folder everyone rights: read/write
# [x] Set ownership and permission for existing files and folders in this share to the above settings.
# [x] Grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files.
# [Apply]

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

## NOTE: If PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1.bin is missing and cannot be downloaded, no big deal. Just skip to Step 3.
cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox/backup
wget weblink>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

## Install phpVBoxManager 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

## Now, close the Browser Window and go back to the terminal screen
cp /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/config.php /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/PHPVBoxMgr_0.4-readypro-0.1.1-config.php.orig

## Step 3: Upgrade phpVBoxManager from v0.4 to v4.3-0
### *** PHP VirtualBox Manager v4.3-0 *** ###
# REF: weblink>sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/
# Remarks: VirtualBox 4.3.x Compatible = VirtualBox Manager 4.3-0 release

## Download the Latest version of phpVBoxManager:
: cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox/backup

rm -rf phpvirtualbox*
wget -U IE6 -O phpvirtualbox-latest.zip weblink>downloads.sourceforge.net/project/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0.zip
unzip phpvirtualbox-latest.zip -d phpvirtualbox-4.3-0

cp /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0/config.php-example /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0/config.php
: rm -rf /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/
: cp -rf /addons-config/VirtualBox/backup/phpvirtualbox-4.3-0 /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr

## Step 4: Edit PHP VirtualBox Manager Configuration File
# Location of file: /frontview/ui/resource/html/phpvboxmgr/config.php

: 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 58: var $consoleHost = 'ip.address.of.ReadyNAS'; also <remove> the '#' to activate this feature
# >> 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 enables 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: weblink>blog.secaserver.com/2011/06/fsniper-monitor-newly-created-files-in-directory/
# Source 2: weblinks>wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fsniper
# Source 3: weblink>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 ower 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 weblink>www.clearfoundation.com/Software/downloads.html
# You can also find a plethora of images from weblink>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.

# Compile fsniper
cd /c/addons-config/VirtualBox/backup
rm -rf fsniper-1.3.1
wget weblink>projects.l3ib.org/fsniper/files/fsniper-1.3.1.tar.gz
