I configured Ubuntu in VirtualbBox and installed all the software I need. Now I want to make it available to some colleagues who just want to avoid repeating the same installation process. What I want is to create an image which they can simply import into their Virtualbox instance. IS that possible? I have this: $ ls -ltr total 17610800 -rw-------+ 1 fran staff 8317 Sep 24 21:30 Ubuntu.vbox-prev drwx------+ 6 fran staff 204 Sep 24 21:32 Logs -rw-------+ 1 fran staff Sep 24 22:06 Ubuntu.vdi -rw-------+ 1 fran staff 8317 Sep 24 22:06 Ubuntu.vbox ~/VirtualBox VMs/Ubuntu: Is it enough to share the Ubuntu.vdi file? VirtualBox can export VMs to a compressed archive using.ovf format.

Your friends can then import the VM on their machines. There are two ways to do this, cli, and gui. The GUI Way: To Export: • In VirtualBox go to 'File/Export Appliance'. • Choose the VM you want to export. • Choose a location to save the.ovf file to, and which version of ovf to use. • Fill in any desire information (eg: vm name, product, and other relevant information).
