# Virtualbox

Run virtualbox in a container

## Usage

To deploy my already built image run the following command:

```

 docker run -d \

	-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \

	-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \

	--privileged \

	--name virtualbox \

	mlashri/virtualbox

```

For the first run it will fail because you will need to recompile the kernel module with: `/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup`

### How to do that?

copy the files you need for the module from the container that is currently running to your host

1.  lib:

	`docker cp virtualbox:/usr/lib/virtualbox /usr/lib`

2. share    

    `docker cp virtualbox:/usr/share/virtualbox /usr/share` 

3. run the script

    `usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup`   

These steps will recompile the kernel module 

4. remove uncessary files 

    `rm -rf /usr/share/virtualbox /usr/lib/virtualbox`
