virtualbox.org

Hi,

I was wondering if I can create a web page which allows me to access the virtual machine residing at the server.

Here is the flow of activities that I would like to perform:

1. I create and configure a virtual machine at the web server.
2. I create a website with a page that has the logic to give the user access to the virtual machine.
3. The user accesses the web page using the browser.
4. The user interacts with the virtual machine from the web browser just as he/she would access it from a virtualization software such as Virtualbox/VMware/Virtual PC.

Please also tell if this is possible through some other virtualization software.

Thanks

Hi,

I have no experience with it, and I can't tell wether or not it meets the requirements you mention, but the following might be just what you need:

http://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/

From what I briefly read about it, phpVirtualBox (currently) performs no authorisation whatsoever. Anyone with access to the website could manage your VirtualBox instance. So, other that having it running locally, I don't think I would incorporate it on a publicly visible website.

Kind regards,
Matthijs
