This guide uses Oracle’s VirtualBox program to create and run the VM. We’ll do a few things to improve its performance. The main drawback of a VM is that it can be slow because you’re essentially running two computers at the same time. A VM is an entire computer emulation that runs inside your current Operating System (OS), like Windows. Installing a Virtual Machine (VM) is the easiest and most reliable way to get started creating an environment for web development. Pick your method of installation below: Virtual Machine (Recommended) We cannot help you set up a developer environment on a RaspberryPi or any other device. This curriculum only supports using a laptop, desktop or supported Chromebook. We do not recommend installing an OS that is only based on Ubuntu (like Mint, Pop!_OS, ElementaryOS, etc). Our instructions have been tested with MacOS, Ubuntu, and official flavors of Ubuntu.

Of course it means that you need to plug in your external drive whenever you do anything with boot2docker of VirtualBox. perhaps you downloaded and installed boot2docker) they will be placed on the external drive as that is now the location where all new VMs get created. Then just to be doubly sure it still works.Īs an added bonus, if you make new VM’s (i.e. Then boot your cloned VM to make sure it is OK and then delete your original VM from the VirtualBox UI.
Since the default is now your external drive it will clone it to your external drive.
Then control-click on the image that is stored on your main disk and clone it. Go to Virtual Box Preferences and change the Default Machine Folder to be on your external drive. As I start playing more with docker I cannot affort to fill my main hard drive up with docker / virtualbox images. I just came across an easy way to move a virtual box image to an external hard drive to free up space on my main hard drive. There seem to be a lot of posts that show how to move a VirtualBox or Boot2Docker image to a new hard drive the hard way using the command line.
