Which TUI/GUI do you use?
I've been struggling to create a Host-only network. In VirtualBox
(and VMWare from version 1 or very early) I could basically just
tick a check box for "Host only network", and name one or more shared
folders.
I realise I probably have to mount the SAMBA horse again. And for
libre software, I'm willing to do all this.
My most recent trial was just pre-Debian 9.0 - I could not get the
dual monitor setup working properly (SPICE) - the mouse was the deal
breaker, just repeating over the first "virtual monitor"'s window,
and having traversed it the second time (left to right), would pop
out the RHS of the RHS virtual monitor window. Last night I had the
thought that perhaps I can just stretch the first window the full
width of my two monitors (and rotate my portrait monitor back to
landscape, so that I can use all my real estate.
I'm pretty sure I could get everything working properly yet - it just
takes the time, and in the mean time my life has caught up with me
again, and so again I'm VM-less since Virtualbox stopped working
quite a few months ago (forget why - it didn't get updated for a
while to match some debian kernel or something - this might have been
Oracle virtualbox, I don't recall sorry...)
