Ready to run virtual appliances for Parallels on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. at Virtualization Daily

Yesterday I posted some infomation on how to go about converting a VMWare virtual appliance from VMWare to parallels. Today I wanted to follow that up, by making available a few appliances that are ready to run with Parallels.

The JumpBox appliance was designed for Parallels and the rPath appliances were converted to work easily with it. The downloads are available for free using a BitTorrent client.

These are especially useful for people who are working with Parallels on Mac OS X.

JumpBox vTiger - Web based CRM Appliance torrent
rPath SugarCRM - Web based CRM Appliance torrent
rPath Gallery - Photo gallery appliance torrent
rPath OpenFiler - NAS/SAN appliance torrent
rPath MediaWiki - Wiki Appliance torrent
rPath LAMP - Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP deployment appliance torrent

I’ll be trying to collect other appliances that will work with Parallels and if you have any requests for appliances you’d like to see, please leave a comment below. Through my company JumpBox we’ll also be releasing a number of other appliances that will work with Parallels as well as VMWare and Xen. Those appliances will be up-datable and supported for production use.

Note: the hard drive images in these appliances should also work with Xen, Qemu and VMWare including being moved between systems.

It’s great that you can convert images from one type to another, but for the rPath images, no conversion is needed. You can generate and download Parallels images directly from of rBuilder.

Those are what was used to build these appliances. Simply making the raw hard drive images available isn’t enough to make it easy for people to use them. I added a parallels config and documentation on how to actually configure each of the appliances. So you just download and double click to have the machines running.
