Getting started again - Proxmox and XPEnology

[ipanini]

Hi folks,

 

Let me first introduce a bit:

Years ago I managed to set up a Xpenology server on some random hardware. At that time it was what is called bare metal I guess. Long story short, some 5 or 6 years later we have moved to our new home and the Xpenology server has died somewhere along the road. (Not sure, but I think the usb key broke off)

 

Today I'd like to get back on the road with Xpenology again and would like to set it up as a virtual machine on a Proxmox server.

Now I have been searching around on youtube and found myriads of related video's and tutorials. The problem is that I can not follow either to a T, I guess because most of the "older" versions of the bootloaders are not available any more.

 

So what have I working:

- Proxmox 7.4-17 is up and running

- I have created a vm based on DS920+ and have succeeded in loading TinyCore RedPill. I think it is version TinyCoreLinux 12.0

- I can log on to the virtual machine using ssh and terminal

- Can use e.g. Transmit to move files to the Proxmox machine (I'm mostly on macOS)

 

As far as I'm aware, I should load a couple of drivers such as virtio and acpid, but that is where I get stuck.

For virtio I have tried the following command:

virtio
./rploader.sh ext geminilake-7.1.1-42962 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/redpill-load/master/redpill-virtio/rpext-index.json

 and for acpid the following

acpid
./rploader.sh ext geminilake-7.1.1-42962 add https://github.com/pocopico/redpill-load/raw/develop/redpill-acpid/rpext-index.json

but all I get is 

tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh ext geminilake-7.1.1-42962 add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/redpill-load/master/redpill-virtio/rpext-ind
ex.json
Error : Platform not found :   
rploader.sh

Version : 0.10.0.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: ./rploader.sh <action> <platform version> <static or compile module> [extension manager arguments]

Actions: build, ext, download, clean, update, listmods, serialgen, identifyusb, patchdtc, 
satamap, backup, backuploader, restoreloader, restoresession, mountdsmroot, postupdate,

I have tried to work out what these commands will do but my conclusion is that somehow I use a wrong syntax?

How do I solve or circumvent this?

If I enter ./rploader.sh listmods ds920p-7.1.1-42962 this is what I get:

I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out or point to an up to date tutorial?

Thanks a ton!
