web service needs gsoap aur package (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10020)
I can move it to community.

web service is very usefull together with phpvirtualbox web interface

I checked it.

all you need:
1. install gsoap package
2. add '--enable-webservice' to configure
3. add 'install -m 0755 vboxwebsrv "$pkgdir/usr/bin"' to package_virtualbox()

After that phpvirtualbox works (probably 'VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null' is also needed)

i forgot to enable this. Do we need some daemon script for this to work?
Comment by Sergej Pupykin (sergej) - Wednesday, 19 January 2011, 07:39 GMT
vboxwebsrv can run more than one instance from different users. So rc-script is not very useful.

Here is rc.d and conf.d files
(application/x-gzip)    vboxwebsrv-rc.tar.gz (0.6 KiB)

i'm looking at how virtualbox devs are doing in their provided packages.

1) it has a lot bunch of options in the config. Maybe we should add them too

PARAMS="--background"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_HOST" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -H $VBOXWEB_HOST"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_PORT" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -p $VBOXWEB_PORT"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_TIMEOUT" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -t $VBOXWEB_TIMEOUT"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_CHECK_INTERVAL" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -i $VBOXWEB_CHECK_INTERVAL"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_THREADS" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -T $VBOXWEB_THREADS"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_KEEPALIVE" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -k $VBOXWEB_KEEPALIVE"
[ -n "$VBOXWEB_LOGFILE" ] && PARAMS="$PARAMS -F $VBOXWEB_LOGFILE"
# prevent inheriting this setting to VBoxSVC
unset VBOX_RELEASE_LOG_DEST

2) use su instead of sudo and pass all of them
su - $VBOXWEB_USER -c "vboxwebsrv $PARAMS" > /dev/null 2>&1

these parameters are less useful then rc-script itself :)
Comment by Ionut Biru (wonder) - Wednesday, 19 January 2011, 14:48 GMT
