The www/phpvirtualbox port
phpvirtualbox-7.1.1 – web-based VirtualBox front-end (cvsweb github mirror)
Description
phpVirtualBox is an open source, AJAX implementation of the VirtualBox user interface written in PHP. As a modern web interface, it allows you to access and control remote VirtualBox instances. Much of its verbage and some of its code is based on the (inactive) vboxweb project. phpVirtualBox was designed to allow users to administer VirtualBox in a headless environment - mirroring the VirtualBox GUI through its web interface.WWW: https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/

${INSTDIR}/config.php
Default username/password is: admin/admin
VirtualBox configuration on Linux Red Hat(-like) systems
========================================================
Official documentation is available at:

phpVirtualBox user
------------------
Since phpVirtualBox is mostly used in shared environments, it's a good
idea to create a specific UNIX user for it.
# useradd -c "PHP VirtualBox" -U -G vboxusers vbox
# passwd vbox
This user credentials must match the "$username" and "$password" values
set in ${INSTDIR}/config.php.
VirtualBox extension pack
-------------------------
Remote display support using VRDP requires the installation of the
proprietary extension pack from Oracle.
e.g.
# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.20/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.20-96996.vbox-extpack
# VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.20-96996.vbox-extpack
VirtualBox web service
----------------------
By default, the VirtualBox web service will not run and needs to be
enabled.
# echo "VBOXWEB_HOST=127.0.0.1" >>/etc/default/virtualbox
# echo "VBOXWEB_USER=vbox" >>/etc/default/virtualbox
# systemctl start vboxweb-service
VBOXWEB_HOST is the local IP address the service will bind too. It must
match the "$location" value set in ${INSTDIR}/config.php.
VBOXWEB_USER is the VirtualBox user that phpVirtualBox will use. It must
match the "$username" value set in ${INSTDIR}/config.php.
