Vagrant Base Boxes for ARM Hosts (e.g., Apple Silicon / M1)

This repository provides the Packer files for building Vagrant base boxes for ARM hosts.

The pre-built boxes can be found on Vagrant Cloud

Building Instructions

The VM images are built with Packer and VMWare Fusion. Each subdirectory in this repo contains all the files needed to build the base box. The easiest way of building the box is to run the buildbox.sh command. This will start Packer and build the image, then compact the image into a box and print the checksum.
