Hi, How can I make an own install via the image file? I just create a vm, boot with iso and apply the image? J

Thanks! Id really like to know what each file is for, I see image files and iso. So the ISO is to write to usb, then boot and install, right? What about the image file then?

Hi, I have XPENOlogy running on VMWare workstation 6 (XPE 6.0.1), the vm has 1 GB of ram (which is minimum) and 1 cpu but does not want to boot. VMWare workstation has 6GB of ram and plenty of cpus. Message: 1.select other host 2.decrease memory 3.lower number of virtual machines running Any idea here? J.

Thanks! I do know ddns and have it configured already. However, I now have to open a firewall for every port and tell users to connect on that specific port, f.e. myddns.com:5000 for synology main access etc? Plus a main concern is that direct access is pretty risky whereas quickconnect goes via servers of Synology, right?

Hi, I read in all XPEnology forums that upgrades are tricky and can break XPENology. However when it is installed, there is no way to disable the (installation of) updates. How does this work then, XPEnology simply automatically updates then crashes? J.

Hi, I love your project XPEnology. I might run some XPENology vm's or even a bare metal. I wonder though how safe XPENology is. How can I be sure there is no malware in it? J.

Hi, Is it possible to install XPENology on Synologies Virtual Machine manager? J.

Hi, Tried to install XPenology 6.1 on VMWare Workstation and it drives me nuts. Tried all kinds of guides which all tell different things: use ovf, use zip, use iso .... Now tried to stick to 1 guide: https://xpenology.club/setup-xpenology-vmware-workstation-12/ which brought me to status where I can install XPENology, but after reboot it says status: repairable. When I try to repair and reboot, just the same issue ... Thanks for any input! J. How does this all work, iow what files do I need to be able to boot? The iso installs to the vmdk then i

Hi, I love Synology, got an DS414, but might go to ds918+ (for vmm) or run xpe on a HP Microserver gen 8 or 10 (virtual, on esxi or hyper v to easen the updates). So first I m about to test XPE on a spare hp 8550 laptop via hyper v. There is only one XPE version, right? What held me from running XPE is quickconnect. What is the status there? Got an ds210 on which I don't use quickconnect, can I use that Mac to configure on XPENology? Then I d like to create my XPE bootdisk from .pat myself, can I do that? Thanks for your input, love you

Hi, I have this gnoboot esxi dsm 5.0 which I fail to upgrade. I ve read nanoboot is the successor to gnoboot and I found a procedure to upgrade nano versions. If I switch to nano can I always upgrade (manual, via procedure?). Then how I convert my current gno to nano? I need to reinstall or how to keep my data/settings? Pls advise. J.

Hi, I found a procedure to update Synology 5.x: download a new pat-file from Synology, manual selection of the file in update, run a script via ssh then update. Is that a general procedure that can be used for any new update? J

Well, you might just as well have said: "use google". Then I see no use of a forum.
