QEMU support

[npons]

Hi,
A newbie in the TerraMaster, Running a F4-424 Max since a few weeks now.
I am trying to move away from old gear, and concentrate some of my home-hosted various bits and pieces (containers, VMs, physical...) into one solution (yes, with backups and some redundancy, rest assured).
Yet, I am wondering how safe it could be to install qemu from the command line, I am usually using it in a linux environment at home and at work, I find this usually better than VirtualBox (at least from the experience I have).
Any thoughts ?
Any idea on on potential consequences to the OS ?

It's an accepted feature request @ viewtopic.php?t=8962, so it should arrive in newer TOS 6.× builds or the upcoming TOS 7.

Ohhh... nice catch, was browsing around but miserably failed to find this... thanks !
Happy to hear this is getting considered and approved.

yet, I believe it is relatively safe to install the packages, none of the system's are getting updated in between, so i think I am fine,
did anybody ever tried to go ahead ??

Code: Select all

user@TNAS:/Volume1/# apt-get install qemu-system-x86 virt-manager
Running the command 'apt-get install' may cause some TOS functions to not work properly. Are you sure you want to continue? (yes/no) yes
