Re: how to install virtualbox on Asustor AS1002T v2?
Hi,
Only but not provide, qemu can THEORETICALLY run ... but without hardware acceleration ... and need lot of tests to confirm possibility ... LAST 512 Mb of memory is very low ...
or using qemu-user or qemu-user static can help to run a unique program ... all is theoretically .
What is your target ... perhaps other solutions can exist ???
Philippe.
NO ... AS1002T is Arm(HF) processor ... Virtualbox is for x86/Amd64/Intel64 processor : https://www.virtualbox.org/barsovya wrote:It is possible to install VirtualBox on Asustor AS1002T v2?

Re: how to install virtualbox on Asustor AS1002T v2?
Hi.
The final goal is to launch a server written in Linux or Windows.
If this can be done, i would appreciate information on how to do this.
ps. Asustor does not use paging files for RAM?

Hi,
... if server is write for Linux
... ... check if they exist for armhf (real armv7l) architecture
... ... check if it's an open source server, so you can try to compile it to run in an Armhf (armv7l) system, this depend of the perquisites.
... if it's windows only ... forget it (except perhaps if it's a .net program able to run in mono or .NET core from Microsoft (T.B.C.))
... don't forgot to check the environment (Linux distribution) server run ... if A.D.M. is not so complete, tools like chroot can help you to run in a compatible distribution environment (ex. Debian or Ubuntu)
Depend of paging mode you speak about :
... if it's pagefiles like in Windows ... YES ... Linux (so A.D.M.) use swap file to put on disk memory block to free it for other usage temporary. just understand that memory management is different between Linux and Windows ... Linux is no monolithic ... and at any time try to put in memory all it can (file cache, buffers, etc.) ... so having all memory occupied don't said memory is full ...
... if you speak about "old" paging memory mode ... no Linux don't create a false map to cut in block memory for saving space without distinguish what are inside ...

I can start the server using Docker?
I tried to install it, but I get an error:

Hi,
I don't use docker ... because native don't add useless components, overhead and security breach ... with same possibilities ... I just want to be a customer not a consumer
So, please, wait up somebody using Docker ... come here to help you.

Hi,
@barsovya chrooting may be a good solution?
I just did that with Asustor with arch amd64, and it looks good currently...
Cheers
Ben

Hi,
Only embedded Linux can run to offer more software ...
... using containers (directly from App Central or manually using easy chroot or chroot in namespace for a better separation).
In all cases you can't really run X86 or X86_64 program ... due to the performance required to emulate the processor ... even some tools can do it ... and nothing is provide by Asustor (as I know).

But, I can run a custom server on this device, right? (For example, if the server is compiled under armv7) Is there a guide how to do this?
I saw a Minecraft server in the App Centre, are there compilation tools that you can use in this case to build your own application that will work natively in ADM?
Or maybe through some virtualization packages from App Central?
