Hi,
I create this topic to talk about Squeezebox Server on virtal machines.
I wanted to use shairtune2 to convert my Squeezebox into airplay
receivers. It was not possible on my Windows LMS server so I decided to
use a VM to run my squeezebox server.
It runs perfectly on my intel NUC 5i5 (Windows 10 for host system) with
Ubuntu 15.10 under VMplayer. Less than 0.2% of CPU used when idle !
Vm images are very useful to test Squeezebox possibilities quickly,
useful for these who don't know what is Squeezebox environment, useful
for developers,etc...
May be we can share here some advices and some useful VM images. Let's
go !
- Firstly I found images for virtualbox from erland. He talk aout it
the readon why he creat that 'here'
(http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?88615-Separate-environment-for-beta-testing-any-interests&highlight=vboxsbsimages).
You'll find images here :

These images download the new version of LMS at each reboot. But it is
easy to modify.
You can easily as to stop update at each reboot or ask to download LMS
7.9 instead of 7.7 (type sudo vim /var/lib/sbssvn/sbssvn.conf to
modify the source fo download)
- Before named Max2play, 'SqueezePlug'
(http://web.archive.org/web/20131209063645/http://www.squeezeplug.eu/?page_id=52)
offer a virtual machine for virtualbox to test their release.It is not
available since 2014 but _you_can_find_this_old_image_ 'here'
(http://www.multiupfile.com/f/72110bc0) or 'here'
(http://uptobox.com/p7is7o6hhnav) . This image is good to show how to
automate LMS installation and other media server like MediaTomn,
MiniDLNA, Twonky and TVmobili. This image is to old to integrate
airplay receiver like Max2Play but I'm sure it is pretty easy with
shairport.
If some people are interested I will explain all the process to create
an up to date VM and I can share my image too.
Hope you will like and participate to this topic with your own
experience and VM images ;)
