I run VMware ESXi hypervisor on a HP54L Microserver host Have run vortexbox on this but it is so simple to build a full linux VM on an ESXi machine you don't really need images in fact there seem to be less and less available for this reason. My current LMS runs under a Centos 7 VM it run flawlessly as well as providing DHCP, DNS, Mail, Samba Owncloud and others. My host also runs a UTM Firewall VM, a Windows 7 VM and a PCNS VM *Players:* SliMP3,Squeezebox3 x3,Receiver,SqueezePlayer,PiCorePlayer x3,Wandboard *Server:* LMS Version: 7.9.0 - 1453293926 on Centos 7 VM on ESXi 6 on HP N54L *Plugins:* AutoRescan/BBCiPlayer/PowerSave/PowerSwitchIII/Squeezecloud *Remotes:* iPeng8/Orangesqueeze/PC/Jivelite *Music:* 383GB,1269 albums 17756 songs 4381 artists mostly FLACs *Want a webapp ?* See http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104305-Webapp-for-LMS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff07971's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49290 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105580 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
