Running virtualbox inside a container

[ntblade]

Hi all, I realise this is a long shot but I'll ask anyway.

Is anyone running virtualbox inside a container in proxmox? What I'm trying to achieve is a headless GNS3 server (x86 devices only) running as a proxmox guest. I also realise that I might break my proxmox server and this is unsupported.

Thanks

I'm not running virtual box, but I am running another proxmox instance inside proxmox.. it's all do able just select "HOST" for the CPU type and as long as you have enough real CPUs and memory to play with it's all good.

Hi NTP
It could work if GNS3 uses 32 bits Virtualbox VMs with a lot of configuration steps.
With 64 bits VMs this won't probably work, because 64 bits VirtualBox Vms need a *exclusive*, *non nested* access to the processor virtualization extensions.
TLDR: VirtualBox is aimed to be installed on a desktop, not on a server like Proxmox VE.
