# LinuxKit with VirtualBox

LinuxKit can run using Oracle VirtualBox. This should work on OSX, Linux
and Windows. The standard install should be sufficient.

NB: Windows support is not currently working but should be fixed soon.

## Boot

The Virtualbox backend currently supports booting from disks or ISOs.
It should work with either BIOS (default) or EFI
(with `linuxkit run vbox --uefi ...`).

## Console

With `linuxkit run vbox` the serial console is redirected to
stdio, providing interactive access to the VM.


## Disks

The Virtualbox backend support configuring a persistent disk using the
standard `linuxkit` `-disk` syntax.  Multiple disks are
supported and can be created in `raw` format; other formats that VirtualBox
supports can be attached

## Networking

You can select the networking mode, which defaults to the standard `nat`, but
some networking modes may require additional configuration.
