Labtainers Pre-built Virtual Machine Images

The easiest way to provide students with Labtainers is for student to install our VM appliance with either VirtualBox or VMWare.  This single VM image contains everything students need to run all Labtainer exercises -- including those that create multiple computers.  The appliances can also be installed on web-accessible services such as VMWare Horizon.

The user ID for authenticating to these VMs is "student".  The password is "password123".  The computers within each lab may have usernames and passwords, and those are generally identified within the lab manuals.

Downloads

Right-click one of the links below (depending on the type of virtual machine you will run), and save the file onto your computer.   Note, if you use "save as" to save the file to your computer, the file must retain its original extension.   If your browser (e.g., Chrome) changes the extension to change it back to the extension noted below.  Then follow the respective "Directions" to import the file as a virtual machine.

 (.ova extension) (sha256:bb2cc33edc1b1fa1567a470101afff49fa7a627a13563e2e343b8a70931b33c3)

Directions: Start VirtualBox, and then: File / Import Appliance / LabtainerVM24a-VirutalBox.ova

  (.ova extension)

(sha256:c5f9a991753eee7d927b2baf61f317c559038cf4e0e5274e24b5cf3eed706aff)

Directions: Start VMWare, and then: File / Open / LabtainerVM24a-VMWare.ova

                          on VMWare Fusion: File / Import / LabtainerVM24a-VMWare.ova

                    When/if VMWare complains about the format not matching ova standards select "retry" and it should continue.

 (.qcow2 extension)

Directions: After downloading, unzip the QCOW2 image and follow the instructions in the 'Using the Official QCOW2 Image' section of the guide at ."                   

Hyper V(.vhdx extension)

Directions: TBD (see web for now)   

After downloading, installing and booting the VM, wait for the VM to settle out.  The window may resize a few times, and a terminal will display progress of downloading updates.  After that terminal disappears, then refer to instructions on the screen of the remaining terminal for information on how to run labs.  And please refer to the Labtainer Student Guide.

Again: The user ID for authenticating to these VMs is "student".  The password is "password123".
