This page provides steps to use Testrun within a virtual machine in VirtualBox. VMWare and other providers haven't been tested yet. You should use these instructions alongside the Get started guide.
Before you start with Testrun, ensure you have the following hardware:
- PC running any OS that supports VirtualBox
- 2x USB Ethernet adapter (built-in Ethernet connections aren't supported)
- Internet connection
Ensure you have VirtualBox installed on the host PC. Then, install the following software on your virtual machine:
- Ubuntu LTS (22.04 or 20.04)
- Docker
- Refer to the installation guide as needed.
As part of installation, you must add the default user to the sudo group:
- Open a terminal and run
sudo su
to log in as root. - Enter your password when prompted.
- Add the default user to the sudo group by running
adduser {username} sudo
. - Restart the virtual machine.
- Follow the steps in the Get started guide to complete the installation.
Follow these steps to start Testrun. Keep in mind that attaching USB Ethernet adapters is different when working in a virtual machine.
- Ensure the 2x adapters are attached to the host PC.
- With the virtual machine running, right-click the USB icon in the bottom-right of the window.
- Select the 2x Ethernet adapter names. The two adapters should now appear in the virtual machine.
