Perfect tutorial !

Anyhow I have to remind you that guest-additions is a kernel module, which means it won't take effect any more after you updated your kernel. You will need to recompile it.

4. start vm directly

vboxmanage startvm <vm-name>

5. run background

vboxheadless -s <vm-name>

6. setup host-only network
