cits3007 ubuntu-vagrant-box

Packer scripts for building Ubuntu 20.04-based Vagrant boxes. Published boxes are hosted at https://app.vagrantup.com/arranstewart/boxes/cits3007-ubuntu2004.

Build instructions

Requires that Hashicorp Packer, Hashicorp Vagrant, and an appropriate box provider (e.g. either libvirt or VirtualBox) be installed, plus:

• GNU make
• jq

cd into either the virtualbox or libvirt directories. Then make packer-build will build a box ready for uploading to the Vagrant cloud.

make publish will publish it; this requires you have a file called TOKEN in the relevant directory (it can be a symlink), containing a Vagrant cloud access token.

Box usage

To use and ssh into a VirtualBox-based box:

$ vagrant init arranstewart/cits3007-ubuntu2004
$ vagrant up --provider=virtualbox
$ vagrant ssh

For a libvirt-based box, do the same but use --provider=libvirt.
