You need a recent virtualbox, or the (proprietary) server version of it (which is free as in beer). In any case, the steps below work for me on Ubuntu intrepid:

You can login remotely if you want, or forward the port. Or you can login remotely by forwarding the 3389 port:
{{{
$ ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 server
}}}
And from your desktop computer
{{{
$ rdesktop localhost
}}}

Install the system. After installing it, remove the cd (iso image) by
{{{
$ VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu -dvd none
}}}

== Stop the image (do not save changes) ==
{{{
$ VBoxManage controlvm ubuntu poweroff
}}}

== Stop the image (save changes) ==
{{{
$ VBoxManage controlvm ubuntu savestate
}}}


== Networking ==

In order to be able to login using ssh, do:
{{{
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol" TCP
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/GuestPort" 22
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/HostPort" 2222
}}}
Then you can login on the server using:
{{{
$ ssh -p 2222 localhost
}}}
To forward the port 8000 for the Sage notebook, use:
{{{
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/Protocol" TCP
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/GuestPort" 8000
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/HostPort" 8000
}}}

== Sage ==

Download and install Sage as usual in the virtual machine. Start the notebook:
{{{
$ ./sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 3.2.3, Release Date: 2009-01-05 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: notebook(address="")
[...]
**************************************************
* *
* Open your web browser to http://localhost:8000 *
* *
**************************************************
}}}
And connect to http://localhost:8000 on your host machine.


== Setting up Apache and securing the Sage notebook ==

Create an `nbuser` user that will run the actual worksheets:
{{{
$ sudo adduser nbuser
$ sudo addgroup sageusers
$ sudo adduser ondrej sageusers
$ sudo adduser nbuser sageusers
}}}

You need a recent virtualbox, or the (proprietary) server version of it (which is free as in beer). In any case, the steps below work for me on Ubuntu intrepid:

/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free

Execute:

$ wajig install virtualbox-2.1

Answer yes to install the kernel module, it should just work. Create the virtual image:

$ VBoxManage createvm -name ubuntu -register
$ VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu -memory "2048MB" -acpi on -boot1 dvd -nic1 nat
$ VBoxManage createvdi -filename ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/ubuntu/ubuntu.vdi -size 20000 -register
$ VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu -hdb ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/ubuntu/ubuntu.vdi
$ VBoxManage registerimage dvd ~/ext/debian-40r6-i386-netinst.iso
$ VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu -dvd ~/ext/debian-40r6-i386-netinst.iso

Start the image

$ VBoxHeadless -startvm ubuntu
VirtualBox Headless Interface 2.1.2

All rights reserved.

Listening on port 3389

Connect to the image (requires X) on the same machine:

rdesktop localhost

Or you can login remotely by forwarding the 3389 port:

$ ssh -L 3389:localhost:3389 server

And from your desktop computer

$ rdesktop localhost

Install the system. After installing it, remove the cd (iso image) by

$ VBoxManage modifyvm ubuntu -dvd none

Stop the image (do not save changes)

$ VBoxManage controlvm ubuntu poweroff

Stop the image (save changes)

$ VBoxManage controlvm ubuntu savestate

Networking

In order to be able to login using ssh, do:

$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol" TCP
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/GuestPort" 22
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/HostPort" 2222

Then you can login on the server using:

$ ssh -p 2222 localhost

To forward the port 8000 for the Sage notebook, use:

$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/Protocol" TCP
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/GuestPort" 8000
$ VBoxManage setextradata ubuntu "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guest8000/HostPort" 8000

Sage

Download and install Sage as usual in the virtual machine. Start the notebook:

$ ./sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 3.2.3, Release Date: 2009-01-05                       |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: notebook(address="")
[...]
**************************************************
*                                                *

*                                                *
**************************************************

And connect to http://localhost:8000 on your host machine.
