FYI, Few days ago I did an upgrade to latest version of DSM 4528 and it appears that broke vbox instalation. If you get message in phpvbox that you can't connect, one like this: Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083) check if directory /opt/VirtualBox exists. If not do this: mkdir /opt cp -pR /var/packages/virtualbox/target/opt/VirtualBox /opt/VirtualBox /var/packages/virtualbox/scripts/start-stop-status start this should fix install and start vboxweb service. In phpvbox you will have to set "Default Machine Folder" (Preferences->General) to location you had before and re-import machines.

Afaik you can't, that is only possible when you are running vbox regularly and not headless, like this.

From wan you need to forward any free port on your router to port 80 (or 443 if you are accessing nas over https) on your nas box. If your router is supported you can use nas for setup (control panel->connectivity->external access->router configuration) Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

It is. You can verify it in phpVirtualBox, in show log for one of VMs. Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack (Version: 4.3.12 r93733; VRDE Module: VBoxVRDP)

For this I manually set up router to port forward to my nas box.

Virtual box is located in /opt/Virtualbox directory, you need to invoke VBoxManage from there.

Reason you get that message is because vboxwebsrv is not running, jagwaugh described possible reasons. Also you can find log file in /var/log/vbox.log, there you should find reason why vboxwebsrv is not running.

I don't use USB on guests in this setup so I didn't test that. What you can do is to check if Extensions are installed (check log for VM) they are required for USB it they are (and they should be) I'm out of ideas until I try that for myself. I guess this can be problematic since syno boots from USB and I guess he won't release control of USB to other app (this is wild guess).

I don't have real Synology box to test this. That is the reason why this is not hosted in proper repository. Also I don't know if it would be of much use to host it, since you would need to have one of the syno boxes with at least I3 and if you have that much money you'd use separate Vm host. Beside scripts for integration with DSM everything is stock. You just have to crosscompile drivers from source which I took from "all distributions" AMD64 version of virtualbox package.

It's bug in phpVirtualBox http://sourceforge.net/p/phpvirtualbox/discussion/help/thread/605de475/ and http://sourceforge.net/p/phpvirtualbox/bugs/16/ or php. Some say they fixed it when they enable php_openssl in php.ini http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11082889/soap-error-parsing-wsdl-couldnt-load-from. My nas is not on 24/7 so it did not happen to me.

Great glad it worked. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Hi sorry for the late reply, been busy. I tested (and built) this on my laptop intel core2duo e8400 under Vmware player 6.0 and I run it on bare metal, Supermicro X10SBA mb with onboard Celeron j1900, with latest nanoboot.

First of all I'd like to thank trantor, gnuboot and nanoboot for their work on making xpenology available and of course to Synology for making this great OS. Second, just one thing was missing on my new xpenology box and that was virtualization software. So I decided to run Virtualbox on it and use phpVirtualbox as frontend. After some work (and a bit of learning, I'm new in xpenology ) I managed to create spk package. So this is what I put together: Virtualbox 4.3.12-93733 phpVirtualbox 4.3-1 these two are combined into one spk file for easy installation. Keep in mind I only used nanoboot's image so I don't know if it will work with others. Drivers are compiled with 3.2.40 kernel. If you wish to try it this is what you need. Requirements: Only bromolow arch is supported VT-x needs to be enabled in bios and CPU has to be x64 Web service (apache-web) needs to be enabled and path /phpvirtualbox/ available Min version of DSM is 5.0-4418 (DSM 5.1 unsupported at the moment) Notes: Standard disclaimer goes here , this means you are using this package at your own risk, You can, and I suggest you do, try spk on nanoboot installed in VMWare player. phpVirtualbox needs to know password of user under which vbox is running, Virtualbox runs under root/admin user so you need to supply password during install. Proper solution is to run vbox under separate account but for that I need to find more time to learn how to do that in/from spk file. Virtualbox should create log file at following location /var/log/vbox.log. If you need to troubleshoot vbox from ssh try this do start drivers: /var/packages/virtualbox/target/scripts/vboxdrv.sh start if this goes without error then: /var/packages/virtualbox/target/scripts/vboxinit.sh start and finally if vboxinit was without errors: /var/packages/virtualbox/target/scripts/vboxweb-service.sh start During install you have some options you can set: You can disable phpVirtualbox authentication, if enabled user/pass is admin/admin Enable advanced configuration items Enable startup/shutdown configuration What to do with guest VM on host shutdown Use this package at your own risk.
