Re: Windows 7 For Virtualbox
Dorian Blessing
You need contiguous space to expand any partition. I would go into gparted, create a 450 MB partition at the disk, and then move the recovery partition to that new partition, or delete it if you don't need it.
Once you have free space adjacent to the windows partition, you should be able to expand it to incorporate that free space. I'm not sure, but you may need to then go into Windows to the disk manager and tell it to use the full size of the disk.
The problem is that after a few seconds (or sometimes a few minutes) the windows just reboots (BSOD?). When it doesnt reboot for a while, when trying to use Chrome or Firefox, they just unexpectly quit (or Chrome exhibits strange errors interrupting whatever it is doing).
On the VM you would need to enable the sshd service sudo systemctl enable sshd.service and start the daemon sudo systemctl start sshd.service.
You also would need to verify that ssh is allowed through the firewall. I use the gui firewalld-config which would also need installed. sudo dnf install firewalld-config I do not remember whether ssh is allowed to port 22 by default or not.
I do think that using nat will be a hindrance unless you have configured the host to allow port forwarding. I use bridged on the VM and connect it to the default virbr0 device on my fedora host. I also use libvirt and QEMU on my fedora host. Cannot speak to what would work with a windows host and using virtualbox with a fedora VM.
believe me I dislike Windows, but is not because I love it somuch that I need to have a windows container. My company heavily relies on Windows, that is not going to be matter of hours/days to move our products to a platform independent env.
If you must deploy a hypervisor, WSL2 or Hyper-V is a mess to deploy on a windows box that is nested in ESXi is a mess, and a real pain to get up and running. Virtualbox with Docker Toolbox maybe a valuable option here is the github.
Good post @rimelek !
Yes, shortly after I made that post I realized that docker toolbox is no longer supported by docker. Therefore I gave in and deployed Hyper-V with WSL2 (not sure if both are needed or not). Here are the instructions and links I followed to get it all done:
I have never used QEMU on Windows. Only on Linux with KVM, but I used UTM on MacOS to install a Linux OS and install Docker. UTM is based on QEMU. It worked but the performance will depend on your machine.
For the windows subsystem, you want to be installing via conda not apt, that will install QIIME 1, which is not what you want :). Inside the windows subsystem, you can just use these installation instructions and treat it as a linux machine (because it actually is!).
With the seamless windows feature of Oracle VM VirtualBox, you can have the windows that are displayed within a virtual machine appear side by side next to the windows of your host. This feature is supported for the following guest operating systems, provided that the Guest Additions are installed:
After seamless windows are enabled, Oracle VM VirtualBox suppresses the display of the desktop background of your guest, allowing you to run the windows of your guest operating system seamlessly next to the windows of your host.
To enable seamless mode, after starting the virtual machine, press the Host key + L. The Host key is normally the right control key. This will enlarge the size of the VM's display to the size of your host screen and mask out the guest operating system's background. To disable seamless windows and go back to the normal VM display, press the Host key + L again.

I recently ran into a problem/bug using the latest release of Virtualbox on Ubuntu. Using the latest version from their website caused my windows 10 client to constantly crash. I tried for a while to get it to work and since there are a few different ways of installing VirtualBox with it's extension packs, I decided to do a video on it for Ubuntu 22.04!
