VirtualBox

SSH access

Set up port forwarding (from host machine, assuming it's c 2222):

VBoxManage modifyvm "mybox" --natpf1 "rails,tcp,,3000,,3000"
VBoxManage modifyvm "mybox" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,,2222,,22"

For easy SSH access, add this to ~/.ssh/config:

Host mybox
  Hostname localhost
  Port     2222
  User     <username>
  ForwardX11 yes

To copy your local SSH config into the VM, run:

rsync -av ~/.ssh mybox:
  • ssh into the VM: ssh username@mybox
  • Copy the content of your local ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on VM
  • Set up a bash alias in ~/.bash_profile: alias box=ssh -Y mybox
  • Now you can reconnect to VM with the new 'box' command
  • You can now turnoff the VM and save a snapshot of this blank state
