VirtualBox Linux (Ubuntu 19.10) Configuration for Development with Docker

Here are Some Notes for Setting Up Environment for Using Ubuntu (Version 19.10) Inside VirtualBox. Additionally Connecting VirtualBox Guest Operating System Environment (Ubuntu) with Host Operating System (For This Case - Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise).

Installable Software

• OpenSSH
• Docker, Docker Compose

Dockerized PHP Executable

• Check link for Reference.

• Create a File named php at (If Doesn't Exist) - /usr/local/bin

• Set Execution Permission to the File - sudo chmod +x php

• Inside the File

  #!/bin/bash
  docker run --rm -i \
  -v /home/{username}:/home/{username} \
  -v $PWD:/code \
  -w /code \
  php:alpine php "$@"
  

  OR

  #!/bin/bash
  docker run --rm -i \
  -v /home/{username}/app/docker/www/php:/home/{username}/app/docker/www \
  php:alpine php "$@"
  

• Check if PHP is Running

  php -v
  

Setting Up Proxy

• Check link For Reference.
• System Wide
  • GNOME Desktop Environment - From Activities Panel -> Right Panel
    • Wired Connection > Wired Settings > Network Proxy > Manual
• apt
  • Create a file at (if doesn't exist) - /etc/apt/apt.conf

     Acquire::http::proxy "http://192.168.0.101:1234";
     Acquire::https::proxy "http://192.168.0.101:1234";
    

• wget
  • Edit the file /etc/wgetrc for all users or for the user only with the ~/.wgetrc (create if not exists)
    • Check link For Reference.

    use_proxy=on
    http_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
    https_proxy=127.0.0.1:8080
    

• Docker
  • Create a systemd drop-in directory for the docker service (if doesn't exist):

    sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d
    

  • Create a File at (If Doesn't Exist) - /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/http-proxy.conf

    [Service]
    Environment="HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.0.101:1234/" "HTTPS_PROXY=http://192.168.0.101:1234/" "NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.0/8"
    

  • Flush changes

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    

  • Restart Docker

    sudo systemctl restart docker
    

  • Verify that the configuration has been loaded

    systemctl show --property=Environment docker
    

Setup SSH Between Host Machine and Guest Machine

• Add New Port Forwarding Rule Under The Virtual Machine Guest OS.
  • Using Command Line (Check link For Reference)

  VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natpf1 "ssh,tcp,,2200,,22"
  

  • Using GUI
    • Go To VM -> Network -> Adapter 1 -> Advanced -> Port Forwarding -> Add New -> ssh - TCP - - 2200 - 22
  • Now Run from Terminal

  ssh -p 2200 {username}@127.0.01
  

  • Provide the Password of the Guest OS User.
  • That's it.
