I am trying to create a VirtualBox linux virtual machine on which I want to mainly run Wine to install a windows application.
I managed to install Lubuntu 18.04.2, since it is the lightest Ubuntu Distro, but the exported .ova file from VirtualBox is 1.9GB. I am planning to share this VM with other people. So, 1.9GB is a lot to download.
I checked this website (enter link description here) and there is a Lubuntu 18.04.2 VM which has a size of 899MB. How did they do that?

Um... Why not install Windows in the VM? Is it due to a size restriction that you have?

@Sjoerd I used the method in your link but I am still not able to reach to the size of file from the website I mentioned in my main post. One thing I noticed is that their file is .vdi but my file is .ova

Maybe the size of Swap file is effecting the size of the .ova file? Could anyone approve or disapprove this?
