How to Setup Ubuntu Server in Virtual Box
For this, we'll be needing an Ubuntu ISO file. I opted for 64-bit PC (AMD64) server install image which can be downloaded here.
The main reason I'm creating the VM is to install and test DefectDojo in a Virtual Machine.
Open Virtual Box and click on
New
Set the name of the VM
For RAM, I opted for 2GB.
Select
Create a virtual hard disk now
for the Ubuntu Server ImageSince, I only plan to use the image in Virtual Box, I selected VDI which is the default format used by Oracle.
- Oracle: VDI
- Microsoft: VHD
- VMWare: VMDK
Select the
Dynamically allocated
option to avoid occupying unused virtual disk sectors.I set the maximum virtual hard disk size to
10.00 GB
Start the VM.
Select the server install image file (ubuntu-16.04.7-server-amd64.iso) and click
Start
Install Ubuntu Server
