# The __vmr__ Providers

## Presentation

__vmr__ providers are "tools" that manage the virtual machines instances such as _VirtualBox_ (default in __vmr__), _docker_, _vmware_, _aws_, _openstack_, ...  

Actually only _VirtualBox_ is available in __vmr__ package.

## VirtualBox provider

__vmr__ can manage some of virtualbox options.  
Options available can be find here:
```{r eval=FALSE}
vb.opt <- virtualboxOptions(details = FALSE)
```

To set a name to the virtualbox machine:  
```{r eval=FALSE}
vb.opt$name <- "My Virtualbox name"
```

To disable GUI:  
```{r eval=FALSE}
vb.opt$gui <- FALSE
```

To add more cpus and memory:  
```{r eval=FALSE}
vb.opt$modifyvm$cpus <- 3
vb.opt$modifyvm$memory <- 8192
```

More options can be find here [https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-modifyvm](https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch08.html#vboxmanage-modifyvm)
