Reference[edit | edit source]
See Chapter 8 in the VirtualBox Manual.
Cheat Sheet[edit | edit source]
This is just a short list of some possible commands. All of these commands have many more options or variants, so refer to the documentation or command help.
To get a list of all the available commands, enter VBoxManage in your console.
- VBoxManage -v
- print version number
- VBoxManage list --long vms
- List available machines
- Without the
--longoption, this will show you just the name and UUID of the machine. - E.g. "vagrant_default_1418918147177_40503" {874b812c-f37d-4f98-84a8-06460d3104f8}
- The name (or UUID) is used in most commands to specify which VM you are interacting with.
- VBoxManage showvminfo vmname --details
- Show the details of your machine
- Upon first look, this command seems to be the same as
list --long, but there is a bit more information inshowvminfo - For comparison, try
meld <$(VBoxManage list --long vms) <$(VBoxManage showvminfo vagrant_default_1418918147177_40503 --details)
- VBoxManage modifyvm vmname --memory 2048
- Give the vm 2 GB of RAM (Note that this will not persist if your VM is defined by Vagrant. To persist changes in Vagrant, you would modify the Vagrantfile-extra.rb file)
- VBoxManage import <ovfname/ovaname> --dry-run
- import an appliance that you exported somewhere else
