packer-templates

This is a collection of Packer templates, kickstart files, and shell scripts that can be used to build Vagrant boxes for VirtualBox and VMware providers, starting from canonical Linux distribution ISOs.

Prerequisites

• Packer
• VirtualBox and/or VMWare Fusion
• Vagrant

Usage

$ git clone https://github.com/TFDuesing/packer-templates.git
$ cd packer-templates/<desired template directory>
$ packer build template.json

Once the build is complete, Packer will output one or more Vagrant .box files in the current working directory. You can add a box to your Vagrant installation with vagrant box add --name <name-of-box> </path/to/.box file>.
