Inside the Linux virtual machine (Ubuntu) Step 1 – Install Virtual Box Guest Additions In case you have to use Linux as Guest system, things get complicated, and you need an additional step, let’s go through it.
In this way each time you start the Guest, you will find the folder mounted ‘on the network’, which refers to that of the physical system. In this case it will be enough to create a shared folder with auto- mounting, and have installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions. To do this, if you use Windows as Guest (in the VM), there are no problems. If it is then congratulations! You successfully linked the directory within your vm with your host folder.If you are using VirtualBox frequently, you will have found yourself in the situation of having to move files from the Host machine (the main system) to the Guest machine (the emulated system). Go to your home directory and check to see if the file is highlighted in green.Add the following line to /etc/modules and save.Add the following line to fstab (separated by tabs) and press Ctrl+O to Save.To make this permanent, we'll set it so that it will mount our ~/shared directory on system startup This directory mount we just made is temporary and it will disappear on next reboot. The host folder should now be accessible inside the VM.Mount the shared folder from the host to your ~/shared directory sudo mount -t vboxsf shared ~/sharedįor set custom group and user id owner sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 shared ~/shared Run installation script for the guest additions: sudo /media/cdrom/nĬreate "shared" directory in your home mkdir ~/shared Sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` Install dependencies for VirtualBox guest additions: sudo apt-get update Use the following command to mount the CD: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom Once your VM is up and running, go to Devices menu -> Insert Guest Additions CD image menu Uncheck Read-only and Auto-mount, and check Make Permanent
On Add Share prompt, select the Folder Path in your host that you want to be accessible inside your VM. This guide will walk you through steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest. Mounting VirtualBox shared folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS
