# Debian Linux for Vagrant
Packer templates to build a small Debian Linux box designed for use in Vagrant.
## What is Debian?
> Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.
*from* [debian.org](https://www.debian.org)
## Synopsis
This is a set of templates designed for use with Packer to create Vagrant
boxes with Debian installed.
All non-required packages were removed to create this small box. When using
this box you may have to install some of the packages that usually are
installed on a regular Debian Linux Vagrant box.
## Getting Started
There are a couple of things needed for the templates to work.
### Prerequisites
Packer, Vagrant, Virtualbox, and VMWare need to be installed on your local
computer.
#### Packer
Packer installation instructions can be found
[here](https://www.packer.io/docs/install).
#### Vagrant
Vagrant installation instructions can be found
[here](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation).
#### Virtualbox
Virtualbox installation instructions can be found
[here](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).
#### VMware
VMware installation instructions will depend on the VMware product that you
want. Go to the desired product page at [VMware](https://www.vmware.com) and
check for the appropriate documentation.
Vagrant support for the VMWare hypervisor is provided by the `Vagrant VMWare
Utility` that can be downloaded from [here](https://www.vagrantup.com/vmware/downloads).
and by the `Vagrant VMware provider` that can be installed by running the
following command on a terminal:
```shell
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop
```
## Usage
To create a virtual machine using this box create a folder and run the
following command inside that folder:
```shell
vagrant init fscm/debian
```
To start that virtual machine run:
```shell
vagrant up
```
This box is available for multiple providers. See the table below to find out
how to run a specific provider.
| provider | command |
|------------|----------------------------------------|
| virtualbox | `vagrant up --provider=virtualbox` |
| vmware | `vagrant up --provider=vmware_desktop` |
## Build
In order to create a Debian Linux Vagrant box using this Packer recipe you need
to run the following `packer` command on the root of this project:
```shell
packer build [-var 'option=value']
```
- `` - *[required]* The variant that is being build (`bullseye`).
Options:
- `disk_size_mb` - The disk size in megabytes (default value:8192).
- `debug` - Enable debug (default value:false).
- `domain` - The network domain (default value:"vagrant.local").
- `hostname` - The system hostname (default value:"debian").
- `os_version` - The OS version (default value:"11.0.0").
- `password` - The password for the user (default value:"bullseye").
- `username` - The username for the user (default value:"bullseye").
The recipe will, by default, build a box for every supported provider. To build
only for the desired one(s) use the `-only` packer option.
List of supported providers:
| provider | option |
|------------|-----------------------------------|
| virtualbox | `-only=virtualbox-iso.virtualbox` |
| vmware | `-only=vmware-iso.vmware` |
More than one provider can be specified by separating the names with commas
(e.g.: `-only=virtualbox-iso.virtualbox,vmware-iso.vmware`).
A build example:
```shell
packer build -only=vmware-iso.vmware -var 'debug=true' bullseye
```
