Translation(s): none
Veewee is a tool for easily (and repeatedly) building custom Vagrant base boxes (VirtualBox format), KVMs, and virtual machine images.
Creating a Vanilla Debian7 Vagrant base box
This will not create an Official Debian Image
The box created here miss the following steps to be called Official Debian Image:
- puppet and chef are installed via ruby gems, not using debian packages
- The Veewee template is not maintained inside the Debian Infrastructure
- Ideally Veewee should be available as a Debian Package
Install VirtualBox
apt-get install virtualbox linux-headers-amd64
Install Veewee requirements
apt-get install ruby ruby-dev build-essential libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev
Install Veewee as a Ruby gem
gem install fog --version 1.8 gem install veewee
List available templates and notive how those for debian are outdated
veewee vbox templates | grep Debian
Get updated veewee definitions (ie local templates)
git clone https://github.com/russkel/puppet-vagrant-boxes cd puppet-vagrant-boxes #VirtualBox 4.1.18 is the version contained in Debian Wheezy cp -r debian-710-x64-vbox4212 debian-710-x64-vbox4118
Veewee chokes on downloading the guest additions, we have to do it ourselves: you'll get this error
Downloading vbox guest additions iso v - http://download.virtualbox.org /virtualbox//VBoxGuestAdditions_.iso Checking if isofile VBoxGuestAdditions_.iso already exists. Full path: /root/puppet-vagrant-boxes/iso/VBoxGuestAdditions_.iso /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/open-uri.rb:346:in `open_http': 404 Not found (OpenURI::HTTPError)
Download the virtualbox Guest Additions
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.18/VBoxGuestAdditions_4.1.18.iso -O iso/VBoxGuestAdditions_.iso
Start building the VM
veewee vbox build debian-710-x64-vbox4118 # this command is from the offical veewee doku but not yet released # veewee vbox export debian-710-x64-vbox4118
At this point you will see the VM in VirtualBox and you can use it normally.
Export from VirtualBox to Vagrant Box format:
/usr/bin/vagrant package --base debian-710-x64-vbox4118 --output debian-710-x64-vbox4118.box
Using the freshly created box in Vagrant
A gpg signed basebox created with the method documented above is available at http://basebox.libera.cc/ (Signed with a debian maintainer keyring)
Add your new Vagrant Base box to your base box list
/usr/bin/vagrant box add my_debian7 debian-710-x64-vbox4118.box
Start a new Vagrant env using it:
cd /tmp /usr/bin/vagrant init my_debian7
