=How to install VirtualBox guest additions=

== For Alpine Linux Version 3.10 ==

# enable edge/community package
# install {{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-guest-modules-virt}}

== For older versions ==

First install [https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/testing/x86/virtualbox-additions-grsec virtualbox-additions-grsec]:

{{Cmd|apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec}}

The following error may occur:

{{Cmd|ERROR: unsatisfiable constraints:
virtualbox-additions-grsec (missing):
required by: world[virtualbox-additions-grsec]}}

If the error occurs, then you need to enable the alpine testing repo:

{{Cmd|echo "http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing" >> /etc/apk/repositories}}

Then update respository indexes from all remote repositories, and install <code>virtualbox-additions-grsec</code>

{{Cmd|apk update
apk add virtualbox-additions-grsec}}

Then add <code>vboxpci</code>,<code>vboxdrv</code>, and <code>vboxnetflt</code> to <code>/etc/modules</code>:

{{Cmd|echo vboxpci >> /etc/modules
echo vboxdrv >> /etc/modules
echo vboxnetflt >> /etc/modules}}

And reboot to put these changes into effect.
