The leftmost icon is a multi pointed star. You will see a mostly empty window with a couple symbols in the upper left corner. Save it in a location where you can find it easily. If you have problems, consult the VirtualBox user manual or one of the support sites for Virtual Box.ĭownload the Virtual Alpine ISO, which is optimized for virtual systems, from the Alpine Download section. Install both and start VirtualBox to check for proper operation. Either from the official homepage (for Windows, OS X or Solaris) or from your distribution’s repository (for Linux).
This enables you to install and test Alpine on your main computer almost as you would any other program.įirst you'll need to download and install Virtual Box on your host computer. Oracle VM VirtualBox runs one or more virtual x86 or 圆4 guests on a host computer. This guide describes a standard install of Alpine within a Virtual Box VM. It should be merged with Installing Alpine in a virtual machine.
If you need to change the guest-assigned IP range for some reason, please refer to Section 9.11, “Fine-tuning the VirtualBox NAT engine”.This material is proposed for merging. As more than one card of a virtual machine can be set up to use NAT, the first card is connected to the private network 10.0.2.0, the second card to the network 10.0.3.0 and so on. The IP address thus assigned to the virtual machine is usually on a completely different network than the host. The virtual machine receives its network address and configuration on the private network from a DHCP server integrated into VirtualBox. To your original Q, it is only VirtualBox that knows about the guest's simulated address:
VirtualBox listens for replies to the packages sent, and repacks and resends them to the guest machine on its private network. To an application on the host, or to another computer on the same network as the host, it looks like the data was sent by the VirtualBox application on the host, using an IP address belonging to the host. The network frames sent out by the guest operating system are received by VirtualBox's NAT engine, which extracts the TCP/IP data and resends it using the host operating system. the IP chain' it's VirtualBox, not the host as such, that does this: FOR NAT MODE (per comments) from the manual subsection on NAT mode virtual networking
