Start a VirtualBox VM at Boot on Mac OS X

30 May 2014

Sometimes you have a VirtualBox VM that's critical to your workflow. For example, the Mac mini in my basement hosts a VM that does things like host all of my private Git repos and provide a staging environment for all of my wacky ideas.

When I have to reboot that Mac mini for any reason, inevitably I find myself trying to push changes to some git repo and forgetting that I have to start up the VM again by hand. And then there's the yelling and the drinking and it's no good for anyone.
