According to VirtualBox download page [1], the 6.0.0 release is no longer supported (the support ended 2020/07). Drop it from Libvirt too. 1: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Martin Kletzander <mkletzan@redhat.com>

VirtualBox hypervisor driver
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
The libvirt VirtualBox driver can manage any VirtualBox version from version 6.1
|
|
onwards ( :since:`since libvirt 3.0.0` ).

Connections to VirtualBox driver
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The libvirt VirtualBox driver provides per-user drivers (the "session"
|
|
instance). The uri of the driver protocol is "vbox". Some example connection
|
|
URIs for the driver are:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
vbox:///session (local access to per-user instance)
|
|
vbox+unix:///session (local access to per-user instance)
|
|
vbox+tcp://user@example.com/session (remote access, SASl/Kerberos)
|
|
vbox+ssh://user@example.com/session (remote access, SSH tunnelled)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: as of libvirt 1.0.6, the VirtualBox driver will always run inside the
|
|
libvirtd daemon, instead of being built-in to the libvirt.so library directly.
|
|
This change was required due to the fact that VirtualBox code is LGPLv2-only
|
|
licensed, which is not compatible with the libvirt.so license of
|
|
LGPLv2-or-later. The daemon will be auto-started when the first connection to
|
|
VirtualBox is requested. This change also means that it will not be possible to
|
|
use VirtualBox URIs on the Windows platform, until additional work is completed
|
|
to get the libvirtd daemon working there.**
