Configuring a single Ubuntu installation as a dual-boot option and a VirtualBox appliance under Windows 10
Author: Neil Golden •
Tags: desktop, linux, ubuntu, virtualbox, virtualization •
Comments: 15 I often need to use Windows 10 and Ubuntu on the same machine within a single login session, so I run Ubuntu as a virtual machine in Oracle VirtualBox. But I also like to be able to boot my computer natively into Ubuntu, so a dual-boot configuration is optimal. To get the best of both worlds, I install Ubuntu in a dual-boot configuration alongside Windows, and configure VirtualBox to access the Ubuntu disk partitions as a raw disk image. This allows me to boot directly into Ubuntu, or boot the same Ubuntu installation from within Windows using VirtualBox.

Managing a Headless VirtualBox Installation with phpvirtualbox (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)
Author: Till Brehm •
Tags: linux, ubuntu, virtualbox, virtualization •
Comments: 15 Phpvirtualbox is a web-based VirtualBox front-end written in PHP that allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. It tries to resemble the VirtualBox GUI as much as possible to make work with it as easy as possible. It is a nice replacement for the VirtualBox GUI if you run VirtualBox in headless servers (like in the tutorial VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines with VirtualBox 5.1 on a headless Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server). This tutorial explains how to install phpvirtualbox on an Ubuntu 16.04 server to manage a locally installed, headless VirtualBox.

VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines with VirtualBox 5.1 on a headless Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server
Author: Till Brehm •
Tags: linux, ubuntu, virtualbox, virtualization •
Comments: 20 This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with VirtualBox 5.1 on a headless Ubuntu 16.04 server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

How to setup virtual containers with LXC and quota support on Debian 8
Author: Croydon •
Tags: debian, linux, virtualization •
Comments: 4 Quota support is an often requested feature in lxc. Linux filesystem quota is required when you want to give multiple users access to a container and want to control that one user is not using all the disk space. Quota is also required for web hosting servers, e.g. with ISPConfig 3, for the same reason: one website shall not be able to fill up the whole disk. This howto shows you, how you can use lxc with hard disk quota using qemu nbd with a qcow image file on Debian 8.
