Description: RemoteBox is a graphical tool (GTK) writeen in Perl, which lets you administer guests or virtual machines running under VirtualBox on a remote server or even your local machine if desired. You may for example have a root server on the internet, a server at home or a server at work running VirtualBox but want to have the convenience of managing the guests easily from your local machine. The virtual machines run in headless mode which means you don't need an active graphical display on the server but you can still connect and view the displays of the guests.
The goal of RemoteBox is to provide a GUI that should be familiar to VirtualBox users whist allowing them to administer a remote installation of VirtualBox. It does this via the VirtualBox API and SOAP interface which are exposed when running the VirtualBox web service (i.e. vboxwebsrv). You can also use RemoteBox simply as an 'alternative' interface for managing VirtualBox on your local machine.
RemoteBox runs on a variety of operating systems including Linux, *BSD and MacOS X and the server can run any operating system supported by VirtualBox.Last changelog:
2.6
- RemoteBox now requires VirtualBox 6.0.x - Added additional screen modes for video capture and video hinting - Added option to select between Video and Audio, Video Only or Audio Only when screen capturing - Added support for VirtualBox VGA card with VMware SVGA II extensions - Added support for having no graphics card in the guest. Note however, you cannot connect to the guest with RDP/VNC without a virtual graphics card. - Added support for setting the emulated serial UART type - The Audio Input and Audio Output options can now also be set while the guest is running - Added support to the VMM (Virtual Media Manager) for compaction of hard disk images to reduce their physical size - Added support to the VMM (Virtual Media Manager) for resizing hard disk images - Added ability to save a guest log to a local text file - Added refresh button to reload the guest logs in the log viewer - Added cancel button to the VirtualBox Preferences dialog - Removed Host-Only-Network and NAT Network configuration from the VirtualBox preferences dialog and created the Host Network Manager dialog accessible from the file menu - Significantly updated the RemoteBox icon set and added additional decals - To work around a VirtualBox bug, when changing a shared folder the guest settings are now explicitly saved. This includes adding, editing and deleting - Optimised a lot of the settings retrieval code which should improve latency especially for those on slower systems and networks. - Fixed the Edit Shared Folder dialog not correctly showing a share's Permanent Status, when editing the shared folder. - Various code cleanups
