These instructions were tested on FreeBSD 13 with RemoteBox 3.0, other configurations may vary. They describe installing the RemoteBox client and assume you have root privileges to perform the install. In order to connect from RemoteBox, VirtualBox will need to be installed and configured on the server and if necessary, appropriate firewall ports will need to be opened.

RemoteBox is available in the official FreeBSD repositories which may be sufficient for your needs, although the version may differ from the latest. It can be installed as follows:

 

Binary Package Example:

pkg install remotebox freerdp tigervnc

Ports Example (portmaster):

portmaster net/remotebox net/freerdp net/tigervnc

Install the required dependencies as follows:

 

Binary Package Example:

pkg install p5-Gtk3 p5-SOAP-Lite freerdp tigervnc

Ports Example (portmaster):

Ensure the p5-libwww dependency is built with https support and that freerdp is built with X11 and sound support.

portmaster x11-toolkits/p5-Gtk3 net/p5-SOAP-Lite net/freerdp net/tigervnc To launch RemoteBox, unpack the RemoteBox tarball and run the 'remotebox' executable.
