You can use `linuxkit run vbox ...` to run using Oracle VirtualBox. ISO or raw should be supported, and you can specify EFI. Some more options may be useful in future. Signed-off-by: Justin Cormack <justin.cormack@docker.com>

# 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.
