RemoteBox

RemoteBox is a GUI tool which lets you administer guests or virtual machines running under VirtualBox on a remote server or even the same local machine. VirtualBox is traditionally a desktop-side virtualisation solution. The goal of RemoteBox is to provide a GUI that should be familiar to VirtualBox users whist allowing them to administer a remote installation of VirtualBox. It does this via the VirtualBox API and SOAP interface which are exposed when running the VirtualBox web service.

RemoteBox is very much work in progress, however it is already quite usable and does a significant proportion of the tasks you can do with the original VirtualBox GUI, but with the added advantage of remote administration and remote display.

The RemoteBox client is known to run on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and with a little effort, also MacOS X. It has been tested against installations of VirtualBox running on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and Solaris.

In addition to this page, there is also a dedicated RemoteBox Site
