Here's a small feature request that would help with having multiple locations for virtual box containers. I've e.g. two major disk location, let's call them
/data-extern
/data-intern
where both are different mount points that point to different file systems. I currently have to reconfigure virtual box each time I want to modify groupings, since it will move around my machines wildly if I don't. I've container structures such as
and to then declare /vms to virtual box. Yet that doesn't help at all: phpVirtualBox does not follow up on those symlink.
So it would be great being able to manage virtual box containers fully through phpVirtualBox; right now I've to regularly unregister a VM, shift it around, and then re-register it and still hope that it'll get the location right.
Thanks!

The underlying problem is that the file explorer in VirtualBox returns symlinks as regular files. IF your web server and virtualbox are on the same physical machine, setting $browserLocal to true in config.php should solve the problem.

/data-extern/vms/cold/TEMPLATE/TEMPLATE_XP
/data-extern/vms/warm/...
/data-extern/vms/hot/...
and similarly for /data-intern.
Since I can configure only one file root location, I tried being clever and creating something like
/vms/extern -> /data-extern/vms
/vms/intern -> /data-intern/vms
and to then declare /vms to virtual box. Yet that doesn't help at all: phpVirtualBox does not follow up on those symlink.
