Vagrant Create Box From Iso

Active4 years, 9 months ago

I've been trying all day to create a vagrant centos box with more than 8GB. It would be nice to know how to make my existing virtual disk bigger, but I would definitely settle for creating a completely blank fresh machine with a configurable size.

The template uses a preseed file to drive the Debian installer (aka d-i) to automatically install Ubuntu in a VirtualBox Virtual Machine, which will be later exported into a Vagrant box file. Vagrant is used to automatically create and setup (or provision) a development environment inside a Virtual Machine. Setup CentOS 7 Vagrant Base Box from Scratch Using VirtualBox. In this article, we'll learn how to create a CentOS 7 Vagrant Base Box from Scratch using VirtualBox. Vagrant is an awesome tool developed by HashiCorp for creating and configuring lightweight, reproducible, and portable development environments built on top of industry-standard. To share our base box on Vagrant Cloud, we first need to sign up. When you log in, you will see the dashboard below. Click on the Create Box link on the upper right corner. NB the box will compress to about 720MB (with 1.2G of used space). NB in my machine, the build took about 15 minutes to create the final box file. Add the box to vagrant: vagrant box add ubuntu-14.10-amd64 ubuntu-14.10-amd64-virtualbox.box Test. Create a test VM based on our created box. Laying out the Hyper-V and Vagrant metadata. So you now have a vhd file that can be sucked into any Hyper-V VM. However, just the vhd alone is not enough for Vagrant to produce a Hyper-V VM. There are 2 key bits that we need to create: A Hyper-V xml file that defines the VM metadata and vagrant metadata json as well as an optional Vagrantfile.

I've tried various things, but these instructions seemed most promising: https://gist.github.com/christopher-hopper/9755310

After doing step 15, I realized I don't have any volume groups. Others commented that they didn't have volume groups and could stop after step 9. A df shows that I still only have an 8GB disk even tho it shows a 39GB vdi in virtualbox manager.

I've been faced with this situation myself. The problem isn't resizing the virtual disk (*) but rather resizing the root partition & the file system on the virtual disk. Resizing a mounted file system or growing a live partition at runtime is not possible.

Directx 11 download windows xp. I solved the problem by booting the vm from a Ubuntu LiveCD (in try me mode). I managed this by attaching the ubuntu.iso as a CDROM to the vm & pressing F12 while the vm was booting. With that I had access to a boot menu & could boot from the LiveCD.

Using gparted (**)I could resize the root partition. I don't remember how I resized the file system, probably using resize2fs. After that I detached the LiveCD & booted from the virtual disk.

(*) Find the UUID using VBoxManage list -l hdds & resize the disk using VBoxManage modifyhd UUID --resize bytes ( UUID looks something like this bcc0f77e-536a-4b95-825f-79efada3442c)

(**) gparted should be installed, if not install it with sudo apt-get install gparted

Hope this was helpful.

    • Also remember to set the password for the vagrant user
      • ''passwd vagrant''
    • Make sure to install the guest additions before you package the instance into a vagrant box
      • You have to mount the CD after you reboot the machine (so do it as late as possible instead of as the first step)
