Make sure you’re using “Bridged Adapter” as your network adapter. Refer to this wiki page on how to do that.
Next, port-forward all the relevant ports (443, 80, 22 etc.) on your router to the IP address of the virtual machine. You can use the ip addr command inside the VM or look it up from the list of connected devices on your router. Another way is to try ping freedombox.local from another machine, which will print out the IP address of the FreedomBox.
If your router provides an option called DMZ, use that instead of port-forwarding. It’s easier, since you don’t have to forward each port individually.

Yes, there were efforts to make the setup process shorter. @sunil was working on a domain setup wizard to be integrated into the first-boot. But I’m not sure whatever came of those efforts.
