VirtualBox in unRAID
Joe L.:
Your instructions and scripts look really great.
My older server running unRAID 4.7 probably does not have enough memory to run VirtualBox, and perhaps not enough to even compile it, but I'm going to give it a whirl this week when I get some time.
I might even try to put the basics of it into an unMENU package. (talk about opening up a can of worms) ;D
Just the ability to compile non-standard driver modules would be super.
Looks like I need to also add ncurses, patch and pkgtools packages to unMENU's package manager. I'm really happy it made your task a little easier.

gfjardim thats is freaking AWSOME ;D
Joe, if you could somehow add this to unmenu, that would be beyond awsome.
Right, off to try this right now :D

That is indeed awesome and very promising to finally replace the dying VMWare server product line.
I've a question thought: is USB passthrough supported with the above installation method or it would require some additional modules?

Thank you, Joe, your unMENU always made my life a lot easier. The headers are essential to compile new modules and/or drivers, but it requires a lot of RAM when uncompressed. In the script I extract the source to a disk, and then I link all paths, so the only RAM I need is the necessary to install the dependencies and obviously the amount needed to compile. I don't recommend using the flash drive to doing this, because of permissions mess up.

It's enabled, but only USB 1.1. You have to add an extension pack to add the closed source part of VBox, including USB 2.0 and RDP support.
You can install extension packs using this command> vboxmanage extpack install <path to pack>

Hum, built the package but end up with the following when I run it.
