vbox creation from Ubuntu Server 14.04.4 running in text mode - how?

[peter....@gmail.com]

Hello all,

i have created from an iso (based on Ubuntu Server 14.04.4) under virtualbox (v.4.3.36) - it is running in textmode.
Does someone know a procedure, how to create vbox for vagrant use for this vmdk with dynamical allocation of 40GB space?
Thanks and kind regards,
Ardi

hello

have a look at packer.io

is easier to create a vm from scratch with the disk size you require.

have a look at this boxes:

Hello Alvaro,
thanks for the hints, but i think I have not explained clearly my situation.
I have run virtualbox on my host server in GUI mode and installed from an iso which is based on
 Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-85-generic x86_64) - in fact it is a modified iso - NOT the original Ubuntu Server.

What i would like to do is to perform the steps needed to be able to create box from it for further use.

-installing some needed packages - dkms?? - i have found many :

-creating vagrant and adding it to sudo
-installing GuestAdditions CD iso image
i have 4.3.36 version of virtualbox on host server.
Should i take the following iso for the box and install it?

http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.36/

 

VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.36.iso

-install ssh keys
-configure shared folder

Is there any procedure for this version of Ubuntu Server 14.04.4, i can use for my case?

I have in mind something similar as described on page:
https://thornelabs.net/2013/11/11/create-a-ubuntu-server-1204-lts-vagrant-base-box-from-scratch-using-virtualbox.html

Thanks and kind regards,

Hello

Have  a look at this 14.04-min, build that one as is and then try with your custom iso:
