How to install QNAP NAS on Proxmox

 Hello, welcome to My Website, I will guide you to install QNAP NAS on Proxmox First you create a new Linux virtual machine Do not use any media Machine q35 Disk IDE 0 Disk Size 16GB The number of cores is up to you,

 

 here I choose 2 The RAM memory can be left at 2GB by default, but here I increase it to 6GB Network Model Intel E1000 This is a summary of your virtual machine, which can be customized

 

in the next steps Next you download the file qnap disk boot I will put the download link in the description There are 2 files here, you download the file with the extension img You use decompression software like WinRAR, 7zip to decompress the downloaded file Next you use WinSCP to upload the qnap disk

 

 boot file to the Proxomx server My Proxmox server has ip address 10.11.32.139 Enter the information including ip address, username, password to connect to Proxmox using ssh Enter the information including ip address, username, password to connect to Proxmox using ssh You find the folder images var lib vz images Here you create a new folder, I create a folder named 100

 

 which is the same as the virtual machine identifier Here you create a new folder, I create a folder named 100 which is the same as the virtual machine identifier Next, upload the qnap disk boot file you just downloaded in the previous step You can keep the name of the file, but here I will rename the file to qnap.img

 

Here I have a script and you customize the path, filename according to your configuration I will fix the folder name to 100, the file name to be qnap.img So how do you use this command?

 

 You open your virtual machine configuration file named 100.conf etc pve nodes You copy and paste the script at the end of the virtual machine configuration file You return to the Proxmox management page and continue to customize the virtual machine Remove CD DVD as it is not needed

 

 for Qnap NAS Next is to customize the boot order You disable all existing boot, this way your VM will boot using your qnap disk boot file just added in the previous step You disable all existing boot, this way your VM will boot using your qnap disk boot file just added in the previous step Now you start the virtual machine and repeatedly press the down arrow key to change the boot

 

selection You choose system rescue production Wait a moment to start Tiny Core OS You open a command window and check the ip address and make sure the virtual machine connects to the Internet successfully You need to edit the configuration file contents to get a newer version

 

of the QNAP NAS operating system You open the file my create qnap boot You use vi editor to edit file contents Use the i key to start editing Here I will use OS version 5.0.0 After editing, press the ESC key, then the two dots w q to save and exit the vi editor To create qnap boot disk you use the command sudo dot slash

 

 my create qnap boot After receiving the success message, turn off the virtual machine with the command sudo poweroff Here you customize the network settings from Intel e1000 to e1000e You reopen the virtual machine configuration file in the previous step to change the network configuration

 

 Don't forget to save the configuration file before closing it Now you start the virtual machine and wait until the screen appears ip address and MAC address As you can see this is my qnap virtual machine ip address

 

 10.11.32.63 You use any browser to access the qnap nas management page with the ip address you just got Qnap nas default port is 8080 To avoid errors, do not update to a higher operating system You will be asked to create a new admin account for qnap nas Change timezone Next configure static ip address, dns address The initial setup process will take a long time,

 

so please wait patiently You use the newly created account to access the Qnap nas management page Next, turn off the Qnap virtual machine to add a storage hard drive To add a hard drive to the Qnap NAS virtual machine you need to use the Proxmox command window Here

 

 I have prepared a 500GB hard drive and I will add it to the QNAP NAS virtual machine ls dev disk by id To add it you need to get the identification information of that hard drive Here is the list of identifiers of the hard drives qm set 100 ide2 dev disk by id 100 is the virtual machine identifier qnap nas

 

 Most likely your virtual machine identifier will be 102 or 103 depending on how many virtual machines you have Most likely your virtual machine identifier will be 102 or 103 depending on how many virtual machines you have You copy and paste the hard drive identifier you just found in the previous

 

 step at the end of the command This is the message of successfully adding a new hard drive to the virtual machine qnap nas You check the list of hardware of the virtual machine will see a new hard drive appears Adding the hard drive is done, you start the virtual machine and wait until the screen

 

 appears the ip address as before Adding the hard drive is done, you start the virtual machine and wait until the screen appears the ip address as before It will take a few minutes for the qnap nas virtual machine to start up successfully You will see the appearance of a new hard drive

 

 and you can use it to store data You proceed with the configuration steps like any other physical Qnap nas device Thank you for watching the video Note that the qnap nas virtual machine starts up quite slowly,

 

 for successful installation it will take about 2 hours Note that the qnap nas virtual machine starts up quite slowly, for successful installation it will take about 2 hours Also it cannot upgrade to newer OS versions You can try installing QNAP NAS on your Proxmox server to make your
