Sudo dpkg -i getdeb-repository_0.1-1 ~ getdeb1_all.deb Now we can install Remotebox, for which previously we will have to add the GetDeb repository: We add the following (of course modifying 'password' for something more secure, and then we save: And prior to the installation we are going to properly configure the Oracle virtualization tool. Of course, to use or rather take advantage of RemoteBox we have to count on VirtualBox on a server. With RemoteBox CAN configure absolutely every aspect of a virtual machine from its creation, from the most basic such as the type of processor, RAM I / O ports, input devices, Network Configuration, storage devices and shared folders up to the most advanced such as virtual memory page definitions, HPET, CPU speed settings, connectivity features and more. In addition, it is very fast and thanks to the fact of being based on Perl it does not require compilation, so it is one less aspect to complicate ourselves if we are going to download and use from the source code because we do not have packages for our distribution. It is a GTK + based graphical interface and with a design very similar to the original interface of VirtualBox, that allows us manage virtual machines remotely, both hosts and guests and without the need to use Webserver. For example, in the case of virtualization we are talking about creating, editing or deleting virtual machines, and for this the command line can become demanding even for the most knowledgeable due to the large number of parameters that we have to handle, although luckily in the case of VirtualBox we have a tool like RemoteBox. Now, one thing is to test virtual machines on a work computer and another to do it on a Remote server, especially if this is a so-called headless, that is, it does not offer a graphical interface to carry out certain tasks. Something that is understandable if we consider that we can take advantage of the powerful hardware that we can have today (at much cheaper prices than in previous times) to use more than one platform, sometimes for convenience, sometimes for teaching / learning, and sometimes simply out of necessity, as can be the case with large companies. La virtualization It has added many possibilities, and the benefits have reached all the fields in which it is used.
