Topic: PHPvirtualbox, best practice ?

Ola

i wonder about different subjects with phpvirtualbox and virtualbox on a SME Server 8.0

-how we can do easily a bridge network, i'm thinking how you can do that...do you use the contrib bridge interface, do you have some explanations or a wiki page.

-what is the user who manage the vboxwebsrv now by default it is the root user and I do not like too much this behaviour.

If you can help, thanks in advance

When you want to get a real ip on your network, you can use the contrib BridgeInterface and select br0 in the phpvirtualbox settings, it is quite simple and obviously easy, thanks to Vip-ire.

i need some reviews, some advices and some tips

Can't help you with your projects Stephdl, I'm battling to handle ESXi , but I do whole heartedly concur with your observation 

[stephdl]

Why do you want to use ESXI, proxmox is not good enough for your usage ?

sorry i'm curious.

On a N54L I have found ESXi 5.0 to perform better than proxmox.  I must admit I only tried proxmox once and found it a little unintuative and slow.  ESXi just works.

I will probably revist proxmox in the future, but for the time being ESXi does it for me.

History shows that there will come a day that Oracle (owner of Virtualbox) will shut down the project or commercialize/licenses it. So best to choose a disk format for your VM's that can be 'converted' to other virtualization platforms. (MySQL, OpenOffice, Open Solaris, Java, ring any bells...?

Yeah it was my big nightmare few months ago, that oracle can shut-down the project, but i feel that they have learnt about the open-office project. You can see now the leader is Libreoffice, Openoffice is only a shadow of what he was before oracle comes.
I think that oracle want to be considered as a sponsor, but i do not know for how long it can pay.
When you look about linux distro as debian, this software is a part of their "free repository", i hope if they do this, we can believe in a good future.

But stay suspicious

For now by default you can choose

VDI (VirtualBox Disk Image)
VMDK (Virtual Machine Disk)
VHD (Virtual Hard Disk)
HDD (Parallels Hard Disk)
QED (QEMU enhanced disk)
QCOW (QEMU Copy-On-Write)

Hey HF, how goes the mustard industry

I expanded my business into the home made tomato ketchup. Making the perfect mustard became dull. Since McDonalds is scratching Heinz from the purchasing list, I think I have a good chance. I mean where else can they buy the best ketchup in the world.

Well, lets see, start by calling it Tomato sauce, the word ketchup just doesn't cut it 

Apologies Stephdl we are wandering..
