# Debian 8.0 Jessie [Packer](http://www.packer.io/) template

This template builds a VirtualBox image based on Debian Jessie 8.0. The VM is

configured to use 512 MB of RAM and 1 CPU. Those settings, as many others, can

be changed in the `debian-8.0-jessie.json` file.

## Usage

1. Be sure you have Packer and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)

installed in your system.

2. Clone this repository and go into it.

    * `git clone [email protected]:jose-lpa/packer-debian_stable.git`

    * `cd packer-debian_stable`

3. Run Packer to build the VM.

    * `packer build debian-8.0-jessie.json`

A VM box file should be created in the working directory under the name

`packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box`.

### Running the built VM

You can now use [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) to run it by creating a

`Vagrantfile` with this content:

```ruby

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

# vi: set ft=ruby :

VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|

  config.vm.box = "debian-8.0"

  config.vm.box_url = "file://packer_virtualbox-iso_virtualbox.box"

end

```

And leverage and access the VM as usual with Vagrant:

    `vagrant up`

    `vagrant ssh`
