The current and only template was created for Debian 7.4.0 VM boxes, because this is the default environment at Tech-Angels. The boxes are "vanilla" with a minimal setup, 256MB RAM, 1 CPU. These settings can be easily changed in vagrant.
Packaged boxes are available for vmware and virtualbox:

- Packer (>= 0.5.0)(http://www.packer.io/downloads.html)
- Vagrant (>= 1.2.4)(http://downloads.vagrantup.com/)
- Vmware or Virtualbox
- Vagrant vmware plugin if you're using vmware (http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware)
$ brew tap homebrew/binary
$ brew install packer
$ packer build ta-debian-7-wheezy.json
or optionnaly, select only one provider, for example vmware
:
$ packer build -only vmware ta-debian-7-wheezy.json
$ vagrant box add ta-debian-7-wheezy ./packer_vmware-iso_vmware.box
or
$ vagrant box add ta-debian-7-wheezy ./packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box
The VM image has been imported to vagrant, it's now available on your system.
To use this image with Vagrant, create a vagrant file (vagrant init
), and use the newly created box:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
# All Vagrant configuration is done here. The most common configuration
# options are documented and commented below. For a complete reference,
# please see the online documentation at vagrantup.com.
# Every Vagrant virtual environment requires a box to build off of.
config.vm.box = "ta-debian-7-wheezy"
# Make ssh login secure
# config.ssh.private_key_path = '~/.ssh/id_rsa'
#
# [...]
end
And initialize the vm:
$ vagrant up --provider=vmware_fusion
The --provider
option is only needed if another vagrant provider is available, like virtualbox.
$ echo ".vagrant" >> ~/.gitignore
