Re: [Xen-users] Installing nas4free as a domU domain in Xen

[Gizmo Chicken <gizmochicken@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tobias,

What issue are you having with your installation of NAT4free as domU?

Although
 not a top priority for me, installing NAT4free as a virtual machine has
 been on my to-do list for some time.  So after having read your post, I
 figured I'd give it a quick go on my system.

The good new is 
that I was able to get NAT4free installed on my system as a domU with 
almost no effort.  The bad news is that I have no idea how to get the 
networking configured for the guest, but that's another topic...

As for getting NAT4free installed, I was successful on a system running the following:
Ubuntu
 13.04 Desktop as dom0; Xen 4.2 (which can be installed directly from 
the Ubuntu 13.04 repositories);  and Virtual Machine Manager 0.9.4 (VMM 
or virt-manager) for installing/managing the guests.

I installed 
NAT4free using NAS4Free-x64-LiveCD-9.1.0.1.573.iso.  VMM doesn't have a 
template for FeeBSD 9.1, but its template for FreeBSD 8 (found among the
 Unix templates) seems to work just fine.

My guess is that my 
setup (with a graphical desktop for dom0) isn't much like your preferred setup.  But maybe trying a setup 
like the above would help you in figuring out what's going wrong on your 
preferred setup.

If you haven't installed VMM on Ubuntu before, 
be forewarned that it doesn't work out-of-the box, but instead needs 
some tweaking.  If interested, write back and I'll try my best to recall
 what tweaks were needed.

Regards,
GizmoChicken

Hi, I have spent a lot of hours trying to make the most out of my
hardware but I cannot seem to make this work... I am hoping for some
help from all of you on this forum...

I have a box that is currently running NAS4Free (based on FreeBSD). I
am not happy with the media server that is included and I am looking
for a way install plex instead.

My idea is - install xen and virtualize the machine!
- install xen on ubuntu as dom0 - done
- install ubuntu domU instance with plex media server - done
- install nas4free domU instance - failed

On my ubuntu-xen dom0 I have bunch of packages installed:
xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64, xen-utils-4.1, xenwatch, xen-tools,
xen-utils-common, xenstore-utils, virtinst, virt-viewer, virt-manager

Anyone that has done anything like this? I have searched the net but
not been able to find a guide that actually solves my problem...
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/How_to_Install_a_FreeBSD_domU_on_a_Linux_Host

What I used the latest relase of NAS4Free-x86-LiveCD-9.1.0.1.531.iso
when trying to get this to work.

I am thankful for all ideas I can get on this subject...

Best regards, Tobbe G
