Can't enable Extras repository

[gonk-0612]

After enabling the Extras repository and pressing the save button, a "Saving..." message pops up and after several minutes results in an error: "connection error" or sometimes "An error occurred" with no further description. The switch in the GUI stays on, but no new plug-ins show up. The same happens when turning it back off.

In case it helps, I'm running OMV v5.6.16-1 installed via USB installer on a very low-spec PC. I've tried installing omvextras both via the CLI and uploading the .deb file.

what is the output of:

sudo omv-salt deploy run omvextras

You should see those in the plugins tab in the web interface

[gonk-0612]

Yes, those are there. I thought there should be a lot more though, such as VirtualBox.

[ryecoaaron]

not all plugins from 4.x were ported to 5.x. there are threads on the forum explaining why. Virtualbox wasn’t ported because virtualbox itself isnt in the debian 10 repos. I did write a kvm plugin that can run vms and even convert virtualbox vms.

[ryecoaaron]

many of the plugins that didn’t get ported are better run in docker.

Sorry for wasting time. That solves my issue.
