https://plus.google.com/+AmiTechnolog... is an online VirtualBox front-end written in PHP that permits you to get to and control remote VirtualBox cases. It tries to look like the VirtualBox GUI however much as could reasonably be expected to make work with it as simple as would be prudent. It is a decent substitution for the VirtualBox GUI in the event that you run VirtualBox in headless servers

2 Installing phpVirtualBox
First, create a system user called vbox and add it to the vboxusers group:
useradd -m vbox -G vboxusers ( vbox can be your user name which user have virtualbox installed)
Create a password for the vbox user:
passwd vbox
Create the file /etc/default/virtualbox and put the line VBOXWEB_USER=vbox in it (so that the VirtualBox SOAP API which is called vboxwebsrv runs as the user vbox):
vim /etc/default/virtualbox
VBOXWEB_USER=vbox ( vbox is a user name you can replace
Next create the system startup links for vboxwebsrv and start it:
systemctl enable vboxweb-service
systemctl start vboxweb-service
We need a web server with PHP support to serve phpVirtualBox - I'm using Apache2 here. Install Apache and PHP as follows:
apt-get -y install apache2 libapache2-mod-php7.0 libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap libapr1 php7.0-common php7.0-mysql php7.0-soap php-pear wget
Restart Apache:
systemctl restart apache2.service
I want to serve phpVirtualBox from Apache's default virtual host with the document root /var/www/html (I will install it in /var/www/html/phpvirtualbox) - if you have a different document root, you must adjust the following steps:
cd /var/www/html
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/proj...
Unzip phpVirtualBox and rename the phpvirtualbox-5.0-5 to phpvirtualbox for ease of use:
unzip phpvirtualbox-5.0-5.zip
mv phpvirtualbox-5.0-5 phpvirtualbox
Next go to the /var/www/phpvirtualbox/ directory...
cd /var/www/html/phpvirtualbox/
... and create the file config.php by copying it from config.php-example:
cp config.php-example config.php
Open config.php and fill in the password you created earlier for the vbox system user:
vim config.php
[...]
/* Username / Password for system user that runs VirtualBox */
var $username = 'vbox';
var $password = 'secret';
[...]
Now you can open a browser and access phpVirtualBox as from browser
