## Building the boxes
2014-03-27 13:14:13 +00:00
_In order to build the boxes you need to have the `lxc-download`
2014-03-27 22:33:02 +00:00
template available on your machine. If you don't have one around please
2014-03-27 13:13:48 +00:00
create one based on [this ](https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/master/templates/lxc-download.in )
2014-03-27 13:14:13 +00:00
and drop it on your lxc templates path (usually `/usr/share/lxc/templates` )._
2014-03-27 13:13:48 +00:00
2014-03-25 03:26:19 +00:00
```sh
git clone https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc-base-boxes.git
cd vagrant-lxc-base-boxes
make precise
```
By default no provisioning tools will be included but you can pick the ones
you want by providing some environmental variables. For example:
```sh
2016-04-29 16:18:53 +00:00
ANSIBLE=1 PUPPET=1 CHEF=1 SALT=1 BABUSHKA=1 \
2014-03-25 03:26:19 +00:00
make precise
```
2016-04-29 16:18:53 +00:00
Will build a Ubuntu Precise x86_64 box with latest Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Salt and
2014-03-25 03:26:19 +00:00
Babushka pre-installed.
2016-04-29 16:18:53 +00:00
When using ANSIBLE=1, an optional ANSIBLE_VERSION parameter may be passed that will specify which version of ansible to install. By default it will install the latest Ansible.
2014-03-25 03:26:19 +00:00
2016-08-15 12:08:29 +00:00
Additional packages to be installed can be specified with the ADDPACKAGES variable:
2015-12-27 15:34:32 +00:00
```sh
ADDPACKAGES="aptitude htop" \
make trusty
```
Will build a Ubuntu Trusty x86_64 box with aptitude and htop as additional
packages pre-installed. You can also specify the packages in a file
trusty_packages.
2016-08-15 12:08:29 +00:00
Note: ADDPACKAGES is currently only implemented for flavors of debian.
