[Announce] New contrib phpvirtualbox

Ola, i need some feedbacks on this new contribs : "phpvirtualbox"

The purpose original was to install this marvellous package for me, but i wondered that it could be used for other, so i worked a bit (hard) this saturday

i hope you have noticed that the contrib is in my development area, be conscious

mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/

In first you have to be sure that you are fully updated

# yum update
# signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot

# wget mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/develop...x-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
# wget mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/develop...x-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm
# wget mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/develop...x-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm


install epel for sme8 wiki.contribs.org/Epel
install virtualbox wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_Repository


# signal-event yum-modify
# yum install --enablerepo=epel,virtualbox dkms smeserver-virtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm smeserver-phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm phpvirtualbox-4.3.0-3.noarch.rpm VirtualBox-4.3
# signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot


then you can play with virtualbox with these credentials : admin/admin
http://sme-ip/phpvirtualbox

I have followed this tutorial on the wiki
wiki.contribs.org/VirtualBox_4.0_on_SME_Server_v8_beta_6

so the known issues for now are

the user of virtualbox is root you can see : /etc/default/virtualbox
the authentification to vboxwebsrv is null you can see : vboxmanage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null
the config.php is not templated


once logged you have to change the admin/admin
you have to create a folder where you want to keep your vm and change it in settings(by default /root/VirtualBox VMs)

New version in mirror.de-labrusse.fr/Sme-Server/development/phpvirtualbox/

now the sme admin can log to the contrib, for sme user or sme group you need to use db command

you have to install the bridgeinterface contribs if you want to play with real ip to your local network

wiki.contribs.org/BridgeInterface

Currently i need some feedbacks, you can use another virtualbox to test it. I have noticed if you want to have a bridged network in a VM environment which is already another virtualbox, curiously you can't have a workable bridged interface. In this case to test it you could take a real bare metal computer.
