Virtualbox

• VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware, targeted at server, desktop and embedded use.
• Virtualbox manual: Manual

Create virtual machine with Vagrant and VirtualBox

• Create folder contain virtual machine (ex: vagrant_ex)

mkdir vagrant_ex

• Install plugin

vagrant plugin install vagrant-disksize

• Create Vagrantfile in this new folder (eg: vargrant_ex). Custom Vagrantfile

  • Create virtual machine ubuntu 22.04 with image fasmat/ubuntu2204-desktop

  config.vm.box = "fasmat/ubuntu2204-desktop"

  • Disk store virtual machine 30GB

  config.disksize.size = "30GB"

  • Create user for virtual machine vagrant and root

  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-'SHELL'
  
    sed -i 's/^#* *\(PermitRootLogin\)\(.*\)$/\1 yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    sed -i 's/^#* *\(PasswordAuthentication\)\(.*\)$/\1 yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    systemctl restart sshd.service
    echo -e "vagrant\nvagrant" | (passwd vagrant)
    echo -e "root\nroot" | (passwd root)
  SHELL

  • Config virtual machine with name, memory, cpu,....

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
        v.name = "test"
        v.gui = true
        v.memory = 2048
        v.cpus = 2
      end

  • Run shell script in bootstrap.sh to install apache2 on virtual machine

  config.vm.provision :shell, path: "bootstrap.sh"

  • Config network connection with 192.168.1.20 is my ip network

  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080, auto_correct: true
  config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "192.168.1.20"

  • Choose interface for network brigde to

  • Run command line on new created virtual machine

  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
      export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
      apt-get update
      apt-get install -y git
      apt-get autoremove -y
      sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/html
    SHELL

  • Copy folder ./v-root in local into VM in directory /vagrant

  config.vm.synced_folder 'v-root', '/vagrant'

Run

Run terminal command to auto install VM on VirtualBox by Vagrantfile script

cd vagrant_ex
vagrant up

It will automatic download image, install and config our new virtual machine through Vagrantfile. When this process done, VirtualBox will auto start and run this virtual machine.

After complete install VM, ssh to remote control that VM by CLI

vagrant ssh

Choose internet interface

Check sync folder v-root

Login User

usr: root
pwd: root

usr: vagrant
pwd: vagrant

Remove VM and Box

Remove VM
vagrant global-status to get all VM and id
vagrant destroy <id> to destroy VM with id

Remove box
vagrant box list to get all box
vagrant box remove <name> to remove box with name
