I would like to use vagrant and let the virtual machine run on a more powerful server than my laptop.
Is it possible to use Vagrant with a remote Virtualbox ?
With the current Virtualbox provider it's not possible.
Possibly you can roughly accomplish the same with different providers, like AWS or Rackspace.
Looks like vagrant share is what you need, but I didn't test it.

Could anyone please give me the command to get the list of all services running on an ESXi host?
ESXCLI can be used for this, example:
esxcli system process list

I recently set up a Trellis/Bedrock/Sage environment. I like it so far but have been running into the issue that if I step away from my computer, I can’t reconnect to my local production environment and have to start up my wordpress install from scratch. Is there a way to “save” a vagrant box so I can close my computer and not have to vagrant destroy, then vagrant up each time?
Thanks,
You could probably Save State directly in VirtualBox to accomplish what you want:
Also, I was able to find this comment to help answer your question here which also may do the trick:
In order to keep the same VM around and not loose its state, use the
vagrant suspend and vagrant resume commands. This will make your VM
survive a host machine reboot with its state intact.

I have to set a development environment on a ubuntu machine(16.04).
It's django+postgresql+Nginx, I.think I could install all these things together on that machine，but I totally don't have any idea about how to connect it by using pycharm running on my pc, and how to manipulate the database.
Is there anyone could tell me how to connect it. This is the first time I have to use a remote machine.
By the way, my pc and ubuntu machine are in the same LAN, but there is another person who were asked to write db are not.
I hope I could get some suggestions from the community.
One of the best and common way is to use SSH.
Here you can find an official guide on how to enable SSH server on Ubuntu 16.04
You can use Putty to connect from Windows PC to your SSH server or if you're using Mac or Linux, there should be already installed SSH client. So, just ssh username#servername
Use SSH. Assuming you're on Linux, open a terminal and type:
ssh username#local-ip-address-of-machine
and then type your password when prompted. Your terminal window essentially acts as a terminal on your remote machine. From here, I suggest you research Docker in order to set up a custom environment for your Django project. I have only told you how to connect since that's your question, and there are plenty of tutorials on setting up Django and Docker. If the other person wants to connect, you will need to port forward on your router port 22 on the local IP of the machine.
If you haven't got SSH set up, this page tells you how.
Trying to get set up with Vagrant but getting the error:
The "VBoxManage" command or one of its dependencies could not be found.
Please verify VirtualBox is properly installed. You can verify everything
is okay by running "VBoxManage --version" and verifying that the VirtualBox
version is outputted.
Just confused because the Vagrant documentation states:
"The getting started guide will use Vagrant with VirtualBox, since it is free, available on every major platform, and built-in to Vagrant."
Don't want to install VirtualBox separately if its supposed to be included when I installed Vagrant. Running OSX 10.8 if it's relevant, guessing I just need to install VirtualBox? If that's the case, what do they mean in the documentation when they say it's "built-in"?
Installing VirtualBox is required if you plan on using VirtualBox with Vagrant. I'm guessing they meant that the VirtualBox integration is built-in?
Recently, they've abstracted out the VirtualBox specific code and are working on allowing for multiple providers. I believe VMWare is now supported in addition to VirtualBox.
I had this message but my problem was different. I use Vmware_fusion as the provider. Vagrant was not able to detect what provider I am using.It assumed that I am using VirtualBox. Had this issue fixed by calling vagrant up provider flag. Here is the full command
vagrant up --provider vmware_fusion
This question must be a repeat since it sounds obvious but I cannot seem to find a solution online. I have win 7 x64 running vmware workstation. I need to create a guest vm which is a clone of my host os. (win 7 x64). Can this be done ? If yes please post the link or getting started solution or steps. Do not confuse with the clone feature in vm. That merely clones an existing guest vm so you can take it to another machine. thanks
The VMware Converter does what you want. I tested that sometime ago and it worked pretty good. But I think you need a second Windows license for that.
