So what did you think of my video? Let me know if it helped you out. Also if you want to learn more about Tech, why don't you checkout my online course - Server & Network Administration - bit.ly/TechAdminToolbox. Thanks!
Sorry but this is extremely painful to watch. I feel like you are presenting to 3 year olds with all the hand waving and enunciation, not people capable of setting up VMs. If you are going to present IT related content then don't dumb it down so much. Several times you mention having a newer NAS but don't tell us what model you have. You say to use newer DSM software but don't tell us what you are running. You could have said something like I am running a DS1821+ with DSM 6.2.4 on it, you will need to upgrade your DSM version to something similar, instead of patronizing us and telling us nothing. Unfortunately I was looking for a quick overview guide to learn additional setup tricks. Unfortunately I can't watch this fluffing about all the way to the end, it is just too painful.
thank you
Brilliant - Followed this step by step. Installed and running like a charm!
Glad it helped
This is a great video. Instead of installing a Windows OS I installed Linux Fedora. Worked. great. I just need to update my NAS , I have a 4 bay with 4GB of memory and 2 CPU. Thanks for the video
I have a Windows 10 desktop that has an app which has now been discontinued and cannot be installed again on another machine. I'd like to future proof my ability to use that app for years to come. Can I make an ISO of my Windows desktop machine including that app and use that to create a virtual machine ?
You really hit this one out of the park. Certainly you covered more details than most. I like to know more than just what button to push; I want to know why I'm pushing it and can that action be reversed. You tell me that. Well done.
You're the best for these videos. Thank you very much!
Hi! I am very new to the VM world. I'm using MacOs and want to be able to play games on it. So I created a Virtual Machine with Windows 8 installed on it.
Now I'd like to know how can I add this particular machine to the ESXI so that I can use a passthrough and allow the Windows VM to use my GPU. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thank you, this video helped me install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on a DS720+
Great video, what software have you used for screen recording and did that incorporate your camera and mic? Would love to do some training videos for my staff with our internal systems and your video is great quality. Cheers Chris
Works great so far on a DS 1821+... Windows Vista 32 entered the key then it recognizes the 80gb drive, i even can partition and format it, that's what i did.... to primary partition 1, but the it says the drive does not meet the recommendations for installation, and it also says the bios option for this drive may not be able to boot or something... i am stuck now....tried a smaller partition but it simply won't install ...
So you can actually run VM on the Synology NAS? No need for a separate server? Which ones do this?
New to the NAS world, Synology D220+ and thinking this might be a nice way to play with Linux.
Can the virtual machine be left on all the time? I have to keep files on utorrent always online
can you provide a method to stop and start a VM running on Synology with any sort of schedule (for example stop on a certain day of the week, then start after quite a week, let's running the time needed a few hours, then stop, repeating every week? Thank you
Thank you
the storage on the VM takes from the hard disk, cpu, ram, is the allocation amount only for the VM (second space) or can this amount also be used outside the VM?
Is it possible to install websites on VMs and then configure different domains to connect to them even if all of them operate on the same IP?
Hi, Great demonstration!
How can I connect to the vm from other pc? or maybe from the web?
how do you connect from a pc to the vm on the synology in the same network?
also connection to the nas, not through browser tab
Hey mate, awesome video. I’ve just ordered my NAS.
Question: with the VM, can I allow remote connections to it? Eg I want my offshore dev teams to use my VMs if possible (otherwise I’ll revert back to Azure/AWS)
I'm a bit confused If I want to install a windows file whats the difference between iso, and exe? OR for Mac iso vs. dmg?
What about connecting USB device to this OS? I want to install Home assistant OS as a VM on the NAS and I want to connect a USB-zigbee hub to it, will the VM can access the connected usb device? I read the usb device is for external drives only
So, I guessing this a type 2 VM install that go over a operating system?
How to enable the sound on a Virtual Machine?
In settings, on all VM software, there is "video card" and "audio card", you have to select a card for audio to work
If you already have Docker using a macvlan running then trying to start Virtual Machine manage will hose your Ethernet connection as there's a conflict with open vswitch, even deleting Virtual Machine manager still leaves the macvlan fubared, I maybe sometime
When creating a VM, is it possible for that VM to access the host files? I want the VM to be able to access the host NAS. Using the DSM and now win10 so a bit lost, any thoughts?
Hey thanks for the tutorial
I would like to run a Davinci Resolve project server on my Synology NAS. Is this best done with a VM running Windows/Linux or via Docker and PostgreSQL?
LG
great video.. I have a nap ds2415+ with 6GB of memory. I have 2 VM's created on it and each VM I created with 2 CPU core and 1GB ram. they seem a little sluggish. any thoughts on this, should it be 2 CPU and 2GB memory? both VM's are win 10
can I clone my current laptop and virtualize on the synology ?
I tried to install Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop, watched a lot of videos and tried every combination of BIOS, HD-Controller, USB, Network-Chipsets. I always end up crashing the VM, right when it comes to format the hard drives and start with the installation. And yes the VM-HD is on Btrfs. VMM never worked for me. (DS918+)
Great material , thank You.
can you upgrade the ram to use in VMs?
Is it possible to install Opnsense or Pfsense on NAS ?
Hallo Emilio, thank you for your help.
I would like to install HomeAssistant in a VM in a SSD connected externally to SYN, to preserve internal HDs.
Is it possible ?
Great video, thank you - very clearly explained! I'm thinking of getting this NAS in order to host a VM that will run my radio station - I'll want to remote into the VM daily from another location. How do you find performance of the Windows VM? Is there not too much slowdown? I ask because I saw another report that says this NAS, while it can run a Win VM, really struggles with it. Would you advise adding SSDs and more RAM? Many thanks - and keep up the great work!
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comment. If you are intending to run a VM on the NAS, I would recommend boosting the NAS with additional RAM and yes SSD's. Although it can run VM's, there will be a small performance hit to your NAS when the VM is running hot and busy. Hope that helps.
@@TechWithEmilio Not complete. You can only access the VM's from Local LAN. Does not work for remote access to the VM's
Nice video! I'm looking at buying a Synology 1520+. For Plex, NAS, and Virtual Machines. I was thinking of using one bay with a 1 or 2 TB 2.5 SSD for plex and the virtual machines. Just hoping for better / snappier performance.
Are you using ExFat format for your storage drives?
Thanks for the comment. Yeah using exfat
how to connect to VM remotely using ddns to connect to synology NAS
Wonder why we cannot do nested virtualization?
In my software there insn't VMM...
It's funny that english speakers used to pronounce NAS as [NAZ] and ISO as [ISSO], in french, we are doing the exact opposite :p .
VMM ask for a BTRFS Volume, but mine is in RAID 5 ext4... How can I install it ?
I suppose I have to destroy my grape and recreate a(n) SHR one... 😢
Sir is it possible to cut and paste from the Synology NAS VM to my Mac software? In other words, IF I want to cut information out of a data base on a virtual Win XP can I now paste that info into my Mac software?? I need to run bible software in XP and Mac architecture no longer supports XP virtualization.
Hi, thanks for the comment! Don't think this is possible, you are essentially consoling into the VM itself, but if you RDP into the Windows VM then this should be possible. Thumbs up on the bible software :)
The vm performance is a bit sluggish compared to VMware. But it’s ok.
Can i ask ?
You didn't actually show the finally-installed Windows running in a virtual machine.
So in theory with this NAS you can run 4 VM because the 4 GB of RAM?
Nope.. some of the RAM is reserved for DiskManager
You can upgrade youre ram
Running VM on Synology NAS is the worse for real world use. They are just not powerful enough. Try to find a docker container for anything you might need.
