Created page with "This page covers how to create a virtual machine image that can be used with Vagrant (called a "vagrant box"). =Vagrant Box from VirtualBox Image= To create a vagrant box fr..."

New page

This page covers how to create a virtual machine image that can be used with Vagrant (called a "vagrant box").

=Vagrant Box from VirtualBox Image=

To create a vagrant box from an existing virtualbox image:

* Create the virtualbox image
* Configure and set up the virtualbox image so it's ready to turn into a vagrant box

Now you can turn the virtualbox image into a vagrant box. Start by getting the name of the VirtualBox image you created (here, we'll assume it is <code>mycoolimage</code>:

<pre>
# This base name should match the name in VirtualBox
vagrant package --base mycoolbox
</pre>

This will create a file named <code>package.box</code> in the current directory. This can be renamed:

<pre>
mv package.box mycoolbox.box
</pre>

Now add the box to the list of boxes that are available to vagrant with the <code>vagrant box</code> command:

<pre>
vagrant box add mycoolbox mycoolbox.box

==Testing it out==

To test out the new vagrant box:

<pre>
mkdir test && cd test
vagrant init mycoolbox
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
</pre>
