How to access your guest OS from host OS in VirtualBox?
Many a times, you may want to connect to your guest OS from your host. Here we will look at how you can achieve that. I installed ProxMox Mail Gateway on Virtualbox and want to access it via my host OS, as my browser is on the host OS. The idea is to set up a Host Only Network and connect the virtual server to it. This is how you do it.
How do I access a web server on a VirtualBox?
That’s the address of your virtual machine on your local network. It should be accessible by any device hooked up to the same local network. Now on your host machine, edit the file /etc/hosts (Not ~/etc) The name of the file is hosts (it’s not a folder name)
Why do I need SSH access to VirtualBox?
VirtualBox allows to create different guest virtual machines on top of the same host. And, it provides isolation from the host too. But, what if you need to access the guest machine via SSH? That’s where Network Address Translation (NAT) helps. It allows SSH access even to the virtual servers.
What happens when you enable Nat on VirtualBox?
Usually, by enabling NAT networking for any guest server, VirtualBox automatically performs IP address translation between the guest VM and host’s network. And, there is no need to configure anything on the host machine or on the local network in guest. However, this makes guest VM not reachable or visible from external networks.
