Topic: [Announce] New contrib phpvirtualbox

[stephdl]

Ola, i need some feedbacks on this new contribs : "phpvirtualbox"

The purpose original was to install this marvellous package for me, but i wondered  that it could be used for other, so i worked a bit (hard) this saturday :p

i hope you have noticed that the contrib is in my development area, be conscious :p

http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/

In first you have to be sure that you are fully updated

Code: [Select]

yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/smeserver-virtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/smeserver-phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
install epel for sme8 http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel
install virtualbox http://wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_Repository

Code: [Select]

signal-event yum-modify
yum install --enablerepo=epel,virtualbox dkms  smeserver-virtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm smeserver-phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm VirtualBox-4.3
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
then you can play with virtualbox with these credentials  :  admin/admin
http://sme-ip/phpvirtualbox

I have followed this tutorial on the wiki
http://wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_4.0_on_SME_Server_v8_beta_6

so the known issues for now are

the user of virtualbox is root you can see : /etc/default/virtualbox
the authentification to vboxwebsrv is null you can see : vboxmanage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null
the config.php is not templated


once logged you have to change the admin/admin
you have to create a folder where you want to keep your vm and change it in settings(by default /root/VirtualBox VMs)

minor patch to force the https_only

yum update
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/smeserver-virtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/smeserver-phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-4.noarch.rpm
wget http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm


install epel for sme8 http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel
install virtualbox http://wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_Repository


signal-event yum-modify
yum install --enablerepo=epel,virtualbox dkms  smeserver-virtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm smeserver-phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm VirtualBox-4.3
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

New version in http://mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/

now the sme admin can log to the contrib, for sme user or sme group you need  to use db command

Code: [Select]

config setprop phpvirtualbox User "toto tata titi tutu"
config setprop phpvirtualbox Group "toto tata titi tutu"
signal-event console-save

you have to install the bridgeinterface contribs if you want to play with real ip to your local network

https://wiki.contribs.org/BridgeInterface

Currently i need some feedbacks, you can use another virtualbox to test it. I have noticed if you want to have a bridged network in a VM environment which is already another virtualbox, curiously you can't have a workable bridged interface. In this case to test it you could take a real bare metal computer.

smeserver-phpvirtualbox and smeserver-virtualbox are now available in stephdl_repository, please see http://wiki.contribs.org/Phpvirtualbox

major ameliorations :

-the web authentication is a bug resolved  in phpvirtualbox, available now in smeserver-phpvirtualbox
-now you can choose group or user with two ways

Code: [Select]

config setprop phpvirtualbox User user1,user2,user3
config setprop phpvirtualbox User "user1 user2 user3"-a script test if the vboxdrv needs to be compiled at the startup
-the admin user is hardcoded, you can not forbid him to be granted.

Related to problems with kernel-PAE (i386),  in this case it is necessary to use the kernel-pae-devel instead kernel-devel.

[stephdl]

can you give the right command line please  ?

[vpurger]

yum install --enablerepo=epel dkms kernel-PAE-devel
