Default VirtualBox headless inside a Jail?
Hi

I don't know if it's possible, so why I'm asking. It is possible to run VirtualBox inside a jail? For networking I could give VIMAGE a try. But I am not sure if I need more.

Kind regards,
Darko.

Haven't tried it myself but don't see any reason why not.

Hi minimike,

I want to try the same. Did you succeed?

Are there any pitfalls to avoid?

Thanks

Johannes

Hi there,

Not quite clean but post mortem here are the steps used to make it work


On the jail host :

* make vbox kernel module : %make -C /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod install clean

* load it : %/usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxnet start

* mount src dir used to build module on jail used : %mount -t nullfs /usr/src /path/to/my/jail/basejail/usr/src

* allow sysv : %echo "jail_sysvipc_allow=\"YES\"" | tee -a /etc/rc.conf

* unhide devices needed by vbox on jail :
%diff /usr/src/etc/defaults/devfs.rules /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
34a35,36
> add path vboxdrv0 unhide
> add path vboxnetctl unhide

* start or restart jail .

In the jail :

* edit virtualbox-ose Makefile to avoid the build of module by commenting the RUN_DEPENDS line

* build vbox : make -C /usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose install clean
