VirtualBox VM concepts

VirtualBox has host and guest OS support

Each VM runs a guest OS

VMs can be cloned to create new VMs or as backups to save state etc


VirtualBox is installed on a host OS

You install a guest OS in VirtualBox VM when needed

After installing a guest OS, install VirtualBox guest additions for that VM

This can provide additional features - networking redirects to the guest OS, common shared folders as drives between the guest and host OS and more


When to use a VM vs a container?


if you want to manage machines, you should use Vagrant. And if you want to build and run applications environments, you should use Docker. Vagrant is a tool for managing virtual machines. Docker is a tool for building and deploying applications by packaging them into lightweight containers


Do I need Vagrant to Manage VirtualBox VMs?


Maybe not. VirtualBox provides it's own UI as an admin console to manage VM instances created with VirtualBox



VirtualBox Network Route for External TCP access from a remote client

The Linux Network settings define how network connections are configured.

remotely is
