A Vagrant plugin that automatically installs and keeps the host's VirtualBox Guest Additions up to date on guest systems. It is written in Ruby and was archived in December 2023, so it no longer receives updates or support.

Use cases

  • automatically install VirtualBox Guest Additions in a Vagrant VM
  • keep guest additions version in sync with the host VirtualBox
  • fix shared folder and clipboard issues in Vagrant VirtualBox boxes
  • configure a custom Guest Additions ISO path or URL for offline installs
  • disable guest additions auto-update for specific Vagrant machines

When to choose

  • you use Vagrant with VirtualBox and need matching Guest Additions installed automatically
  • you want a zero-config plugin that detects and fixes version mismatches on boot
  • you need to point to a custom or remote VBoxGuestAdditions.iso

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software, since the project was archived in 2023
  • you use a Vagrant provider other than VirtualBox
  • your Vagrant or VirtualBox versions are too new and may be incompatible with the frozen codebase
