Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Users, that want to use the VirtualBox autostart feature, have to be
|
|
members of the vboxusers group.
|
|
|
|
E.g.:
|
|
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers USERNAME
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
For each autostart user, add a section in /etc/vbox/autostart.cfg:
|
|
|
|
USERNAME = {
|
|
allow = true
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Users work
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The *first* time a user configures autostart, the command:
|
|
VBoxManage setproperty autostartdbpath /etc/vbox/autostart.d
|
|
needs to be run.
|
|
|
|
Note: The autostart options are stored in the /etc/vbox file, and in the
|
|
VM itself. If moving a VM, these options may need to be set again.
|
|
|
|
Prepare a VM to start automatically:
|
|
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|vmname> --autostart-enabled on
|
|
|
|
Choose a shut down mode:
|
|
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|vmname> --autostop-type <disabled|savestate|poweroff|acpishutdown>
|
|
|
|
Restart the vboxdrv service to start the VMs in question
|
|
sudo service vboxdrv restart
|
|
|
|
To turn off autostart for a VM
|
|
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|vmname> --autostart-enabled off
|
