Open Source VirtualBox Client with Remote Management

RemoteBox allows you to administer an installation of VirtualBox residing on another machine such as a server, as if it was installed locally. You can also interact with the displays of the guests. This allows you to treat VirtualBox just like an installation of Xen, KVM or VMware ESX. Includes features such as:

  • View and interact with the guest’s display via RDP, including sound;
  • Create, edit, configure most common guest settings, including setting the guest BIOS configuration including the BIOS image and advanced options such as HPET, Page Fusion, Large Pages, CPU Hotplugging, CPU Throttling, …
  • Attach USB devices and set USB device filters;
  • Stop, start, pause and save guest states, including snapshots;
  • Provision and attach storage including hard disks, CDs/DVDs and floppies.

        - Added 'Add Optical Disc Image' to the menus when editing storage
        - The 'Devices' menu now pops up instead of the 'Machine' menu on an RMB

    New version available -> remotebox 3.1-1~xtradeb1

    Changes:
    * New upstream release.
    – Changed the RemoteBox logo
    – Various minor GUI tweaks
    – Added button to save the message log to a text file. Might be useful for debugging purposes.
    – Fixed: Regression introduced in 3.0 caused Connection Profiles dialog to essentially stop working correctly, potentially losing existing profiles in the process.
    – Fixed: Regression introduced in 3.0 meant that NAT rules were not shown for IPv4 and IPv6 networks
    – Fixed column sorting in the VMM (Virtual Media Manager)
    – Fixed various list selection bugs. The get_selected() method under GTK3 returns both the model and the iterator, not just the iterator as with GTK2
    – RemoteBox is no longer bundled with a PDF manual. Documentation is now exclusively maintained on the RemoteBox web site.
