Contrary to what the scary vagrant up message says, Vagrant and Virtualbox don't need the Virtualbox guest additions for shared folders and port forwarding. |

| These boxes use [[https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/synced-folders/rsync.html|vagrant rsync]] to share the current directory to the `/vagrant` directory inside the box. Syncing happens once when you fire {{{vagrant up}}}, if you want this to happen continuously in the background, start {{{vagrant rsync-auto}}} afterwards. On Windows, we recommend to start Vagrant from a Cygwin or Msys environment, in which you have installed ssh and rsync. Alternatively on all platforms, you can use the vagrant-vbguest plugin to build the Virtualbox guest extensions. |
* For VirtualBox, before Debian 11 "Bullseyes" the default was to use `rsync` for shared folder, and `vboxsf` for the -contrib boxes. Starting from Debian 11 Bullseyes, the boxes uses vboxsf. * For Libvirt, the default is to use NFS for folder sharing. |

| See [[Teams/Cloud/RebuildVagrantBaseBoxes]] to build the boxes yourself or extend them. ==== Versioning schema ==== We use the following versioning scheme: DEBIAN VERSION NUMBER + BOX VERSION Ex: 8.0.4 means we use the box uses the Debian release 8.0, the .4 means it is the fourth version based on this release that we uploaded to Vagrant Cloud ==== DFSG ==== The build process requires the contrib virtualbox package. The reason virtualbox is in contrib is the non DFSG compiler required for compiling the BIOS. ==== Checksums verification ==== For VirtualBox, Checksums of the latest boxes are available inside the git repository at https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/vagrant-boxes/tree/master/packer-virtualbox-vagrant. {{{#!wiki comment || Provider || Checksums File || Signature File || Signed by || || virtualbox || virtualbox-*.SHA256SUM || virtualbox-*.SHA256SUM.gpg || Emmanuel "Kasper" Kasprzyk < manu - debian - org > || }}} After downloading the checksums, you can verify the box authenticity by running vagrant with the `--checksum` option: {{{ wget https://vagrantcloud.com/debian/boxes/stretch64/versions/9.2.0/providers/virtualbox.box }}} {{{ vagrant box add --name debian/stretch64 --provider virtualbox --checksum 3625435cbc6ace0a033f64e9495de65286d92d6560dfefe9239a3f9ab02f98a1 --checksum-type sha256 virtualbox.box }}} Direct checksumming from app.vagrantup.com does not work, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=878759 ==== Debian account on app.vagrantup.com ==== Currently owned by EmmanuelKasper and AntonioTerceiro === Roadmap === See https://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2019/09/msg00041.html for Bullseyes. === People Involved === EmmanuelKasper, Antonio Terceiro, Lucas Nussbaum |

Introduction
This is a Work in Progress to build official Debian base boxes for Vagrant available in Vagrant Cloud. This blog post from Joey Hess provides a good overview of why we need official Debian base boxes.

Base Box details
Content
Standard Debian system, as created by debootstrap with all packages with priority required, important, standard, with vagrant unix user, set up according to Upstream recommendations
Provisioners
The box does not include provisioners. You can install them at startup by adding in your Vagrantfile:
# puppet config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "apt-get install --yes puppet" # ansible does not need a client, but needs python-apt to install packages config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "apt-get install --yes python-apt"
Shared folders
For VirtualBox, before Debian 11 "Bullseyes" the default was to use rsync for shared folder, and vboxsf for the -contrib boxes. Starting from Debian 11 Bullseyes, the boxes uses vboxsf.
- For Libvirt, the default is to use NFS for folder sharing.
Build process
The boxes are currently built with fai-diskimage from the following git repository https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/debian-vagrant-images and uploaded to Hashicorps's Vagrant cloud.
