RemoteBox is a VirtualBox client tool that enables you to essentially administer the installation of a virtualbox on a server remotely (ie over the network), including its guests as well as ability to interact with them as if they were running locally.
VirtualBox is installed on the server machine while RemoteBox runs on the client machine. It provides a complete GTK graphical interface with a look and feel very similar to that of VirtualBox’s native GUI.
Key Features
- Open source VirtualBox client with a graphical (GTK) interface
- Remote management of VirtualBox and its guests
