Who

Both EmmanuelKasper and JanNiggemann want to build official Debian base boxes for Vagrant that shall be available through https://atlas.hashicorp.com/debian

General guidelines

Why do we need official base boxes ? http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/docker_run_debian/

Current Status

Vagrant Base boxes for Virtualbox are generated with Packer from the following git repository https://github.com/EmmanuelKasper/packer-templates and uploaded to Hashicorps's Atlas: From there it's possible to install a Debian Jessie base box with: 

vagrant init debian/jessie64

As packer is not yet packaged in Debian, we might have to switch to bootstrap-vz to create the images.

Plan

  • document what should nbe include / not included in the box

  • create a "alpha" box to gather feedback (<- done)

  • re-iterate the above to get more feedback
  • agree on what and how to document
  • create useful documentation
  • figure out how to automate upload of boxes to my own account on atlas
  • request delegation from DPL
  • do whatever is necessary to setup and maintain an official debian account on atlas
  • monitor debian-announce and build new boxes when necessary
