How should I do to create a box?

Hello everyone,

I installed the Ubuntu server on virtual machine and add a couple service! How can I create a box to use with vagrant from this virtual machine?

To create a VM I used virtual box!

Hello Edgard,

Basically are 2 ways, one is manual, other is autoamated.

For the manual one, install OS is fine, plus have a read here:
https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/boxes/base.html

Depending on the version, you need to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rule if present (or similar name)

Then:

- add vagrant user

- allow vagrant user sudo without password

- set vagrant ssh known public key

You can use an script like this:

Other option is use a tool to create a box for you. ie packer.io

A repo that will create a vagrant box can be found here:
