Resin on VirtualBox

Hi @Manoj,

It’s not possible to run the resin.io service as a local instance. However, if you are using proxy servers within your network environment, you should be able to use these in the Virtual device. There’s more details in this post, but essentially:

  • Create a redsocks.conf in the /system-proxy directory on the resin-boot partition of the downloaded image for provisioning the device
  • Ensure the redsocks.conf includes the lines:
    • daemon = off
    • local_port = 12345
  • Fill in the rest of the redsocks.conf with the proxy settings for the network

This should allow the virtual device to connect to the resin.io servers. Note also that this works only with device images that use the NetworkManager component to configure them, but as you’re provisioning a new device, this should be the case anyway.
