vbox_auto_install

Setup a Linux distro directly for VirtualBox from iso without changing anything (aka “look ma, no hands”).

Take a look at the example - we assume there is an ubuntu xenial image downloaded and saved to your “distros”-folder (if not we just download it).

Only for Windows hosts for now but should easily be adapted for Linux.

If you like to contribute take a look at the TODO-file. Pull requests welcome.

Usage & Installation

1. Install Virtualbox
2. Install Python (either via anaconda or directly from the Python download site )
3. Download the sdk from the VirtualBox download site
4. Unzip the archive and run the vboxapisetup.py file using your system Python with the following command: python vboxapisetup.py install
5. Configure the .json file in the config-folder.
6. Run install_xenial_virtualbox.bat (will install pyvirtualbox and run the python scripts that will setup a new VirtualBox instance)
