Server that can mount VirtualBox (vdi images)
As per title.
I got VDI (Debian 64bit), it's supposed to be mounted on Virtualbox. I tried to upload php and mysql to hosting, there are a bunch of errors. I can't debug the apps because it's encoded using ioncube with php7.2.
The solution that comes on top of my head :
1. Renting for Windows dedicated server, install virtualbox (What's my cheapest option ?)
2. Converting vdi images into kvm images / docker images ( is it even possible ? )
3. Decrypt the ioncube loader (I don't know if it's possible)
4. Other solution ?
So, what's my best option ?
Or if any of you can debug and fix error with encrypted ioncube, send me a message. It's working fine on Virtualbox, it's just not working when I upload it on hosting / vps. Probably just some different developing environment or something.
Edit : I think this is better on help section. Maybe a mod can move this, to the appropriate section, @FAT32

Clean, trustworthy IONcube decryption is not possible.
You can try to convert .vdi to .qcow2 and mount that abomination on KVM.

Thanks for the link. Any provider that support mounting hdd images?
Vultr i believe.
Open up a new thread mentioning qcow2. Most providers should be able to mount it for you
Or you can simply convert it into a raw image, upload it somewhere and write it to your VPS hard disk from a booted rescue system:
wget -q -O - http(s)://example.com/image.raw | dd of=/dev/vda bs=4M
Or directly from your workstation even without uploading it somewhere.
ssh [email protected] dd of=/dev/vda bs=4M < image.raw
This should basically work with nearly any VPS and you can do everything on your own without requiring support tickets with your provider.
Hey there,
We could try it on our ESXI Infrastructur to import it.
If you're interested, hit me with a pm.
Thanks for advice. Appreciate it. I will see what I can do.
grab kvm with nested virtualization, install virtualbox, run the vm inside vm.

Custom Images on Digital Ocean support uploading .vdi images. Does it really support vdi ? @jar
