# vagrant-lxc base boxes

This repository contains a set of scripts for creating base boxes for usage with
[vagrant-lxc](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc) 1.0+.

## :warning: Unmaintained :warning:

[I've stepped down as a maintainer of the plugin](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/issues/375) 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! :beers:

This fork is still maintained:

## What distros / versions can I build with this?

* Ubuntu
- Precise 12.04 x86_64
- Quantal 12.10 x86_64
- Raring 13.04 x86_64
- Saucy 13.10 x86_64
- Trusty 14.04 x86_64
* Debian
- Squeeze x86_64
- Wheezy x86_64
- Jessie x86_64
- Sid x86_64
* CentOS
- 6 x86_64

## 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](https://github.com/lxc/lxc/blob/master/templates/lxc-download.in)
and drop it on your lxc templates path (usually `/usr/share/lxc/templates`)._

```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
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.
