Contents

File	Description

Vagrantfile (if present)	Vagrant configuration for automated VM provisioning

Prerequisites

• VirtualBox 6.x or 7.x
• Vagrant (optional, for Vagrantfile usage)

Restore a VM

chmod +x restoreVM.sh
./restoreVM.sh <vm-name>   # restores from latest snapshot or OVA

With Vagrant

vagrant up       # Create and provision VM
vagrant ssh      # SSH into the VM
vagrant halt     # Stop the VM

Notes

• VirtualBox is best for local testing; use Proxmox or VMware for production
• Use VBoxManage CLI for scripted snapshot management
