PBS on QNAP or Synolog NAS ?

[benoitc]

It would be interresting to have PBS on QNAP or Synology NAS . I wonder if someone already tried to build a native package for them.

Other alternative would be using the virtualisation but then It would require to have an x86 platform I guess. Or can we run PBS on lxc arm or docker arm?

Hi,

as far I know there exists a Raspberry PI build.
Can you find here in the forum.

you mean https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/arm-support.72766/#post-327359 ?

But then I can't buy a support to you since it's unsupported I was thinking to buy the community one. Imo it's not uncommon to have QNAP or Synology NAS installed in companies. It could be used externally via NFS or iSCSI, but if we could install it locally on the NAS that would be a better setup, so you can use the NAS tools to extend the storage over the time. Some of these these NAS are now based on arm64 processors from Amazon (AnnapurnaLabs Alpine) now.

This person managed to install PVE on top of a QNAP. The base is debian. I'm sure it can be done the same way for PBS.

I run PBS as a VM under QNAP on one location... No problem so far...

this imply to have an amd64/x64 QNAP though. Would be coool to have arm platforms support

if you trust the maintainer .. you can install Proxmox Backup Server from the repro under docker on synology

pve-backup-server-dockerfiles
or
proxmoxbackup

A docker Image with proxmox Backup Server for x86 should be nice on x86 Synology.

Can you elaborate how you did the installation?

I used the integrated QNAP virtualization station, uploaded the Proxmox-PBS ISO and installed it in the usual (Proxmox)-way...

This was just a temporary solution, I suggest to install PBS directly on Enterprise Hardware.

I do have some problems to install. Witch version do you use of virtualisation station?
My softwareversions:
virtualisation Version 4.0.0.239
OS on qnap: QuTS hero h5.1.8.2823
------> problem solved----> user @pc

This is pretty far off your original topic ... but I have a couple PBS systems running on TrueNAS and FreeNAS virtualization.
I also have an ad-hoc NAS built on Rocky that's running PBS in KVM.
These locally-virtual installs are not perfect solutions, but its not nearly as bad as one might suppose.
Your PBS is right there with the data. Might be a bit starved for RAM and CPU. There are tradeoffs.
(Make sure to install the correct guest agent! Use systemd-detect-virt)
