Installing nas4free as a domU domain in Xen

Post by tobiasgardner »

Hi, I have spent a lot of hours trying to make the most out of my hardware but I cannot seem to make this work... I am hoping for some help from all of you on this forum...

I have a box that is currently running NAS4Free (embedded). I am not happy with the media server that is included and I am looking for a way install plex instead.

My idea is - install xen and virtualize the machine!
- install xen on ubuntu as dom0 - done
- install ubuntu domU instance with plex media server - done
- install nas4free domU instance - failed

On my ubuntu-xen dom0 I have bunch of packages installed: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64, xen-utils-4.1, xenwatch, xen-tools, xen-utils-common, xenstore-utils, virtinst, virt-viewer, virt-manager

Anyone that has done anything like this? I have searched the net but not been able to find a guide that actually solves my problem...

What I used the latest relase of NAS4Free-x86-LiveCD-9.1.0.1.531.iso when trying to get this to work.

I am thankful for all ideas I can get on this subject...

Best regards, Tobbe G
