A wrapper for the VBoxManage command-line tool previously written in PHP, now rewritten as a NodeJS app.
This utility is a replacement for virtualbox-cli-wrapper previously written using PHP using symfony/console 3.0. I am no longer maintaining it due to its complexity and general unpopularity of PHP as a command line script. I decided to rewrite it as a NodeJS command-line app.
To use this utility, you will need:
- NodeJS, v14 recommended.
- Yarn
- VirtualBox with configured virtual machines.
- Linux, MacOS or any Unix-like OS supported by NodeJS.
To produce the executable dist/vbox, run yarn build
at the top level folder
of this repository. This script may be executed directly, as such:
./dist/vbox
To install it in your home bin/ directory, run yarn install
.
For detailed usage help run vbox help
