Debian Boxes\n\nDebian GNU/Linux Base Boxes for [Vagrant](http://vagrantup.com).\n\n## Introduction\n\n**debian-boxes** provides a simple shell script *janitor* and some configuration\nstuff to install, configure and pack Debian based Vagrant boxes.\nThe OS is installed from a minimal network install ISO image.\nThe current provider is [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) only.\n\nTo run *janitor* following software is required:\n\n  * [jq](http://stedolan.github.io/jq/)\n  * [Packer](https://packer.io/)\n  * [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)\n\n## Usage\n\n```\n$ ./janitor -h\n\n  usage: janitor -r|--release=\u003cversion\u003e -k|--kernel=\u003cversion\u003e [-d|--dry-run]\n         janitor -h|--help\n         janitor -v|--version\n\n  options:\n        -h --help                   display this message\n        -v --version                display version\n\n        -r --release=\u003cversion\u003e      set release version\n        -k --kernel=\u003cversion\u003e       set kernel version\n        -d --dry-run                process arguments, but don't build anything\n\n  dependencies: jq, packer, virtualbox\n\n```\n\nYou can choose the kernel version (latest stable [*base*] or backport [*bpo*])\nand the Debian release version (*stable*, *wheezy*, *v770*, *v760*).\n\nFor further information and configuration see the JSON file.\n\n## Details\n\nThe installation process sets up a minimal Debian with following extra\npackages:\n\n  * openssh-server\n  * sudo\n  * acpid\n  * bash-completion\n  * less\n  * file\n  * psmisc\n  * ntpdate\n  * curl\n  * nfs-common\n  * task-german\n\nThe environment is prepared for English (default) and German locales.\nThe timezone is set to *Europe/Berlin* and time is synchronized via network.\nApt is configured to not install recommended packages and the mirror points to\n*http.debian.net* (main, contrib, non-free, updates, backports). The default user\nis named *installer* with password *installer* and has superuser permission\nwithout password reentry -\nsee [Vagrant SSH settings](https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/ssh_settings.html)\n\nFurther the hostname is set to the Debian release codename (e.g. *wheezy*) with\ndomain *local* and all getty's are deactivated.\n\nThe proper VirtualBox guest additions are installed, the container is\nshrinked, packed as Vagrant box and named\ndebian-*version*-*kernel*-amd64-*provider*.box.\nThe box is configured to use 512M memory and 1 CPU -\nsee [Vagrant VirtualBox Configuration](https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/virtualbox/configuration.html)\n\n## License\n\n[GNU GPL v3.0](http://choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/)\n\n## Is it any good?\n\n[Yes](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3067434)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftschaefer%2Fdebian-boxes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftschaefer%2Fdebian-boxes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftschaefer%2Fdebian-boxes/lists"}
