RDP to Virtualbox

I have had issues with console RDP myself
but with normal windows rdp client you do not need to use port, just put an IP in the address bar

or is that the mistake?

it is, well not a mistake but misunderstanding.
when you RDP you need to use the IP of the target VM not the host.
if you are using the host IP it will try to RDP into host not VM.
the port in VB is given for when you need to setup a clinent used for RDPing and the port is different from the standard defined for remote connect
i.e. Standard port for RDP protocol is "3389" if you use windows RDP client or any other that complies with standard this is the port it will use. some client let you change the port if needed and this is where you would use the port. not user but you can use the IP:port notation in standard windows client but I am not 100% sure.

in your case you simply using wrong IP on the client.

now, I had some issue with VB built in console client as well. and the issue is security.
if I remember how I fixed it last time I will let you know

if it is new I do not think you can RDP into it.
you have to use the console in VB webpage to set all up.
hold on a minute I will try to fire up the test setup I have to see if it works

ok, I just test the setup

I could not connect using RDP, even though you are right for new VM you need the host IP and the port
but it is only work with VNC.

you need to setup remote display in VM settings/display tab.
not 100% sure but you do need VNC password. I usually set it to the same user password as the server.

than using VNC client you can get a nice console and setup VM

does not work with RDP though.

Well I can not explain in details, but essentially they use different protocol and standards to establish connection. It is not about clients per see, it us about underlying technology.
Rdp is predominately windows standard, in fact it was developed for Windows by Microsoft, and is rarely used in Linux, vnc is multiplatform and can be used on almost all OS.

I have the same problem,you can try "VNC Viewer" maybe It's OK.

Well, with OMV3 the virtualbox rdp server doesn't work anymore. It just wants to load VNC which doesn't work (either console nor with tightvnc).

So: How can I set up a VM without having access to it?

Vnc works. I have tried several clients no issues. You need a third party client like tightvnc

i marked it for you.

Hello all,

You can manually configure phpVirtualBox with NGINX or apache2
On my OMV3 I've installed whole VBOX and phpVBOX by hand, using NGINX for phpVBOX.
I didn't do it via plugin coz it needs backports kernel if I remember good.

Please look here for www files:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpvirtualbox/

I remember last time I installed Linux Mint in VB (OMV2), I had to install extra plugin from the Linux Mint in order for me to RDP it.
So the the VB wouldn't work with the backport kernel for the time being?

I don't know what extra plugin you had to install from linux mint.
are you talking about Linux RDP service for Mint?
than it has nothing to do with OMV or VB, Linux dose not support RDP by default, even for VNC you need to install and start a service.
