Missing repository Rockstor Stable on 15.6

First of all I would like to announce that I have written a (somewhat extensive) post about using VMs with cockpit on top of Rockstor

Rockstor as a Virtualization Host Made Easy – Setup Guide Using KVM/QEMU & Cockpit for Running & Managing Virtual Machines

Introduction Having the ability to run some virtual machines (VM) on top of Rockstor is a frequently requested feature, especially when comparing Rockstor to other NAS operating systems (OS). I deeply respect the decision of the Rockstor development team to focus on the BTRFS RAID & NAS functionality without providing another VM interface and exactly for this reason - being the only NAS OS utilizing the unique advantages of BTRFS to it’s fullest potential - I do use and love the Rockstor OS.

Could you use RequiresMountsFor= instead, which would tie it to a “absolute” mount point(s)?

Thank you for pointing that out, I was not aware of this feature but it sounds great for my purpose.
