vagrant-lxc base boxes
This repository contains a set of scripts for creating base boxes for usage with vagrant-lxc 1.0+.
⚠️ Deprecated ⚠️
I've stepped down as a maintainer of the plugin and I'm no longer maintaining this repo. Feel free to use it as a starting point for your own boxes and if you need any help with that just LMK! 🍻
This fork is still maintained: https://github.com/obnoxxx/vagrant-lxc-base-boxes

Building the boxes
In order to build the boxes you need to have the lxc-download
template available on your machine. If you don't have one around please
create one based on this
and drop it on your lxc templates path (usually /usr/share/lxc/templates).
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:
PUPPET=1 CHEF=1 SALT=1 BABUSHKA=1 \
make precise
Will build a Ubuntu Precise x86_64 box with latest Puppet, Chef, Salt and Babushka pre-installed.
