Virtualbox on Open Media Vault

    • Offizieller Beitrag

    Any idea how I can do this?

    What version of OMV? I'm guessing OMV 5.x. If that is the case then you are out of luck since virtualbox is not in the Debian Buster repos. Therefore no plugin. omv-extras allows you to install cockpit to create kvm/qemu VMs.

    hm guess I have to downgrade then.

    If you rely on virtualbox now, you will never be able to upgrade.

    I'm new to this and trying to make a headless server out of an old optiplex for all kind of things.

    Why do you need virtualbox to make a headless server? Lots of people (myself included) virtualize OMV by using proxmox or VMware ESXi. They are much better than virtualbox.

    (I'm assuming that you're running VB on OMV, in the following.)


    Look at the IP address in your screen capture. You need to change the remote desktop server IP address (and port) to your OMV server's IP address. The virtualbox web page, using 127.0.0.1 ,is looking for port 9000 on the local host.


    The setting is in the configuration menu under, as I recall, "Remote Display" server or something like that.

    You know OMV5, with OMVExtra's installed, comes with Cockpit ready to install. At least going that route will have an upgrade path in the future.

    okay nevermind.. I see proxmox is not even free.

    Uh, yes it is. Proxmox and ESXi both have free versions. I have used both for years.

    used the NAS's IP adress with the following :9000 but no luck.

    Why not click the button? Port 9000 is the portainer port. Port 9090 is the cockpit port.

    it complains about me having no subscription when I try to run updates and says that me IP is not permitted to retrieve updates.
    And when I click on the link it leads me to their subscription page for yearly/monthly payments.

    Of course. It defaults to them trying to get you to subscribe. They have a wiki telling you how to fix this. Remove the enterprise repo by deleting the enterprise repo file and adding the no-subscription repo. The web interface will still remind you that you don't have a subscription but that is perfectly fine. https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories

    Excuse me, if I interfere. It is a little bit off-topic, but Is there any tutorial how to vitualize OMV with proxmox? Furthermore I read a lot of posts where docker and portainer are recommended to use 3rd party software under OMV.


    But how to begin? I´m an absolute noob concerning these things and I would need a step-by-step guide for that. Is there a good resource for beginners?

    There two videos will tell you everything you need to know.

    True. We are dropping plugins where the service is better to use in a container.

    Also, just an idea..
    why don't we use Oracle's official repo to install VMWare on OMV 5 ?
    tecadmin.net/install-virtualbox-on-debian-10-buster/
    I mean I could install it, but I have no idea how to integrate it to the web interface.

    We used to use the virtualbox repo. The virtualbox package does not follow Debian's guide lines and is a nightmare when upgrading. That repo used to unavailable quite often as well. Finally, I don't want to maintain the plugin anymore because it relies on phpvirtualbox for most of its features and phpvirtualbox is not maintained all that well.
