kandi X-RAY | pyVBox Summary

pyVBox is a Python library. pyVBox has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is pyVBOX, a shim layer above the VirtualBox Python API. Why? Becuase the VirtualBox Python API is somewhat complex and I got tried of trying to remember all the details of its use. Plus it changes from release to release and this gives me an abstraction layer to hide those changes. The software also includes a script, utils/pyVbox.py, that provides the ability to manipulate VMs (like VBoxMange). This code is written to the 4.1 version of VirtualBox (4.1.12 specifically). I have not tried it against any other version. This software is independently created from VirtualBox and Oracle. No endorsement by Oracle or the VirtualBox authors is implied. Use at your own risk. No support guarenteed, but I'm happy to receive bug reports or suggestions (open an issue please). This code is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0. I ask you send me email (von@vwelch.com) if you add any enhancements or just find it useful (open an issue to report a bug please). Kudos to Nikolay Igotti and the vboxshell.py example that comes with the Virtualbox SDK. The home page for this code is

Access virtualbox VMs as root

QUESTION

Access virtualbox VMs as root

Asked 2020-Apr-29 at 14:45

I have VMs created as normal user. I can access them via the GUI and via python bindings (pyvbox). I have a python script that I need to run as root to access other ressources. I cannot access any VMs via the GUI nor python bindings as root. How can I access them from my script ?

Should I drop privileges from my script ran as root whenever I need to access vbox ? and then go back to root user when i need to access other resources ? How would you do this and is it a good idea ?

I found a solution that requires the name of the user for which you want to monitor VMs:
