Running Toaster in VirtualBox
|
=============================
|
|
Toaster is launched via the command in VM:
|
|
$ source toaster start webport=<IPADDR:PORT>
|
|
The interaction with Toaster web server is done via a host internet
|
browser.
|
The particular steps depend on the actual networking being used
|
by the VirtualBox.
|
|
|
Bridged Network
|
===============
|
|
Find out your VM network IP address:
|
|
$ ifconfig
|
|
IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
|
It should be something like:
|
inet addr:192.168.1.18
|
|
Launch the Toaster web server in VM:
|
|
$ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.18:8000
|
|
Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
|
|
http://192.168.1.18:8000
|
|
|
NAT Network
|
===========
|
Find out your VM network IP address:
|
|
$ ifconfig
|
|
IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
|
For NAT network it should be something like:
|
inet addr:10.0.2.15
|
|
When using NAT network, the VM web server can be accessed using
|
Port Forwarding.
|
|
Using the VirtualBox GUI, navigate to:
|
Settings->Network->Adapter1
|
|
You should set:
|
Attached to: NAT
|
|
Select "Advanced", click on "Port Forwarding"
|
|
This will open a new dialog box "Port Forwarding Rules".
|
Create a new rule that looks like this:
|
|
| Name | Protocol | Host IP | Host Port | Guest IP | Guest Port |
|
+-------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+
|
| Rule1 | TCP | | 8000 | | 8000 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Now we can launch the Toaster web server in VM:
|
|
$ source toaster start webport=10.0.2.15:8000
|
|
Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8000
|
