32 bit nanoboot / XPenology

[Schmill]

Hi,

 

I am trying to solve some issues I am having with Plex on my xpenology install. This is tiresome as once it is 'broken' it stays broken...

Ideally what I want to do is setup a VM on my laptop and install xpenology and plex onto that to do some investigating.

The snag is that my laptop is only a 32bit machine, so can only run a 32bit VM, whereas what I normally run on my N54L is 64bit...

Can anyone give me any pointers as to how / what to install in order to run a 32bit VM based version of xpenology and nanoboot?

 

Thanks

Why not install Virtualbox on the server, see here for a guide: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3497

Because the server is already in use

 

EDIT Oh I see, actually WITHIN Xpenology... sorry - I'll take a look

Nice solution - thanks

 

(but as an aside, how DO you install a 32bit version?)

...or at least it was whilst it worked. One reboot of the host later and now I can login to the phpVirtualbox screen with admin/admin, but after that I get an error explained as:

Exception Object
(
   [message:protected] => Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083)
   [string:Exception:private] =>

   [trace:Exception:private] => Array

   [previous:Exception:private] => 
)

I think I've fixed the above issue - seems that virtualbox defaults to creating the VM's under /root, which fills up the system pretty darn quick.

Moving the VMs out to one of my volumes seems to have solved it ( viewtopic.php?p=27400#p27400 )
