Multiple Base Images?

[Brandon Anderson]

Hey everyone,

I have a rather odd setup and I am wondering if Vagrant has support for it. I have two base images of an operating system, one which is much smaller then the other as the second has a large software package which can not be easily installed through a script during provision time. Now in my vagrantfiles if I am building a test environment that uses this Operating System is it possible to specify two base images one which is preferred and another which is usable? The Idea being if I already have the much larger base image installed on my system then it would be sufficient to build a test environment and vagrant does not need to download a second base image taking more time to vagrant up and using more disk space. If I do not have the secondary image then it would download and install the preferred one which is much smaller. Basically saying default to this base image if none installed but any in this array are suitable if installed on the system. If this is available I would love to know, if not is there a reason to discourage this?

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello, I am not sure of the array part, I don't believe is possible.

What you could do, is have 2  boxes like

mybox (the full one)

mybox_minimal or something

and you can comment one or the other out from Vagrantfile.

But I am not sure to do something like what you are after.
